F: You should be, you know. This is an important election. And a friend of mine is running   for office.
M: That's why you've been bringing in all the campaign buttons.
F: Yes, Joe Brown is a really good candidate. He has taken part in a lot of community
  activities and he knows what needs to be done.
M: And you would vote for him even if you weren't friends, right?

现在我们来听老师用慢速度把整段对话念一遍.

九.听短文回答问题

今天我们要听的文章内容是说美国的选举制度, 说到怎么样从事竞选活动.文章里的词汇都是我们已经练习过的. 现在请你注意听.

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 futures7 depend on how well they do their jobs, and how
well the people hear of the work they are doing.

现在老师把今天测验的三个问题先念一遍给你听.

第一个问题是:
M: How often are elections held in the United States?

第二个问题是:
M: What do political candidates do to get elected?

第三个问题是:
