第147期：主餐一道：泛聽練習
以下段落是摘自新聞里的一些重要信息,并不是一個段落的聽寫。空內信息可在本新聞中全部找到,大家可以根據這些信息復述新聞。
一、泛聽建議：
1、完整聽一遍，掌握大意。
2、繼續聽，特別注意關鍵信息。遇到相似的詞，寫下來。
3、復述新聞。
President Obama _1_ on Senate to move swiftly to confirm his nominee to lead the FBI.NPR's Carrie Johnson reports the White House _2_ across the aisle to select Republican Jim Comey for the important job.The president says Comey spent nearly two decades in top posts at the Justice Department.
奧巴馬總統已經呼吁參議院迅速行動來證實他對聯邦調查局局長的提名。NPR新聞記者凱莉·約翰遜報道白宮跨越兩黨界限選擇共和黨人吉姆·科米擔任這份重要的工作。總統表示科米擔任司法部高層職位近20年。
“He has been relentless whether it's standing up for consumers against corporate fraud or _3_ terrorists to justice.”Comey also stood up to people in the George W. Bush White House over an electronic surveillance program of questionable legality.If _4_ by the US Senate, Comey would replace current FBI Director Robert Muller who Comey says has a legendary reputation in law enforcement circles.“I don't know whether I can fill those shoes,but I know that however I do I will _5_ truly on the shoulders of a giant.”
“無論是支持受到企業欺詐的消費者還是將恐怖分子繩之以法，他一直都鐵面無私。”科米也因為質疑電子監控程序的合法性在喬治·W·布什總統的白宮時期一躍而升。如果提名被美國參議院證實,科米要取代自己所稱在執法領域中享有傳奇名譽的現任聯邦調查局局長羅伯特·穆勒。“我還不知道自己能否適合這一職位,但我知道,不管做什么我將會真正站在一位巨人的肩膀上。”
