55.美國人參與到他們民主中去的兩大途徑是？
Answer: Vote; Join a political party; Help with a campaign; Join a civic group; Join a community group;
答案：投票；加入政黨；協助競選活動；加入公民團體；加入社團；
Give an elected official your opinion on an issue; Call Senators and Representatives;
向當選官員表達你對某一問題的看法；給參議員和眾議員打電話；
Publicly support or oppose an issue or policy; Run for office; Write to a newspaper
公開支持或反對某一問題或政策；競選公職；給報社寫信
Explanation: The United States has a representative democracy, which means that citizens vote for people who will represent them in the government, making laws and decisions that reflect (or are the same as) what the citizens want.
解釋：美國是代議制民主，這就意味著公民選出在政府中代表他們的人，這些人創立的法律和作出的決定都是公民意志的反映（或和什么是一樣的）。
If Americans do not participate in their democracy, then the laws won't reflect what they want.
如果美國人不參與到他們的民主中去，那么各種法律就不會是他們意志的反映。
That is why civic involvement (or participation in government) is extremely important in the United States.
這就是為什么公民參與（或參與到政府中去）在美國是極其重要的。
The most basic (or easiest and simplest) type of civic involvement is to vote, but some people are much more politically active (or involved in government and politics).
最基本的（或最容易且最簡單的）公民參與類型是投票，但有些人卻更加政治活躍（或參與到政府和政治中去）。
Many people choose to join a political party, which is a group of people who have similar beliefs about what the government should do and want to get power for their group in the government.
許多人會選擇加入一個政黨，也就是一群對政府該怎么做方面意見一致且希望他們黨在政府中獲得更多權力的人。
