第333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?？諆刃畔⒖稍诒拘侣勚腥空业?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。
President Obama _1_ new executive measures as part of his effort to close the persistent pay gap between men and women. NPR Scott Horsley says federal contractors will soon have to give the government more information about how much they pay their male and female employees.
奧巴馬總統簽署新的行政措施，努力縮小男女之間長期存在的薪資差異。據NPR新聞的斯科特·霍斯利報道，行政令要求聯邦承包商盡快向政府提供支付給男女雇員的薪資情況。
Obama's executive order is part of a concerted push this week by Democrats in Washington to address what they say is an unfair gap in the typical pay for men and women, even those _2_ the same jobs. While Obama's order applies only to federal contractors, the senate _3_ to vote on the bill to extend similar equal pay protections throughout the economy. "Equal pay is not just an economic issue for millions of Americans and families. It's also about whether we _4_ build an economy that works for everybody, and whether we're gonna do our part to make sure that our daughters have the same chances to _5_ their dreams as our sons." Congressional Republicans are likely to block the bill, which they say is a desperate political maneuver to deflect attention from a slow growing economy that's stifling opportunity. Scott Horsley, NPR News, the White House.
奧巴馬的行政令與本周民主黨在華盛頓發表演講的內容一致，民主黨在演講中表示，男女雇員的收入分配不均，甚至從事相同工作的男女雇員也存在這一問題。但奧巴馬的命令僅適用于聯邦承包商，參議院將就平等工資保護擴大至整個經濟體系中的法案進行投票?！皩ι习偃f個美國家庭來說，同工同酬不僅僅是經濟問題。它與我們是否愿意構建適用于所有人的經濟體系有關，同時也與我們是否要努力確保我們的女兒與兒子有同樣追求夢想的機會有關。”國會共和黨人很可能阻止這份法案，他們稱這是危險的政治手段，會使大家將注意力從緩慢發展的經濟轉移到沉悶的機會上面。NPR新聞，斯科特·霍斯利白宮報道。
詞匯解析：
1、persistent
adj. 固執的，堅持的；持久穩固的
eg:Her position as national leader has been weakened by persistent fears of another coup attempt.
她國家領導人的地位因為人們一直擔心再次的政變企圖而被削弱了。
eg:..a persistent critic of the president.
…一個執著的批評總統的人。
2、to block
阻擋
eg:That allows the material to block and reflect back the phonons in the form of heat. 跟讀
因此，這些材料就可以阻擋以熱量形式存在的聲子，并將它們反射回去。
