九.聽短文回答問題

今天我們要聽的文章內(nèi)容是說美國的選舉制度, 說到怎么樣從事競選活動.文 章里的詞匯都是我們已經(jīng)練習(xí)過的.

現(xiàn)在請你注意聽.

Top officials in city, state and federal governments are elected to office by the people.

They run for office every two or four years and elections are held the first week of November. People who run for elections are called politicians. Many of them are lawyers.

Successful politicians are often famous and important people in their communities.

Young lawyers who are interested in politics often join political clubs when they graduate from law school. As club members, they help older politicians get elected. When they have had enough experience and support, they run for office themselves. Before elections, political candidates are very busy. They have frequent meetings with their supporters. But most of their time is spent campaigning, shaking hands and making speeches to the public.

There are different groups of voters that politicians try to win support from. Most large cities have black and Spanish speaking communities who elect powerful politicians.

Some politicians appeal to businessmen while others appeal to laborers. Many politicians run for office by taking sides on important issues such as balancing government budget, getting equal rights for women, fighting corruption and creating job opportunities.

Once politicians win elections, their futures depend on how well they do their jobs, and how well the people hear of the work they are doing.

現(xiàn)在老師把今天測驗的三個問題先念一遍給你聽.

第一個問題是:

M: How often are elections held in the United States?

第二個問題是:

M: What do political candidates do to get elected?

第三個問題是:
