Listen to part of a lecture in a political science class, the professor has discussing law making in the United States, we know then that in the United States, it’s the job of congress to propose new laws, which we call bills, and perhaps to modify these bills and then vote on them, but even (if a) bill passed (in) congress, it still doesn’t become a law until the president had (a) chance to review it too, and if it’s not to the president liking, the bill can be (vetoed{n.否决权v.否决}) or killed in either of two ways, one is by a veto message, the president has ten days to veto the bill by returning it to congress along with the message explaining why it (being) rejected, this (keeps the) bill from becoming a law unless overwhelming majorities of both houses of congress vote to over-ride the president’s veto, something they rarely do, often, lawmakers (simply) revised vetoed bill and passed it again, this time, in a form the president less likely to object to, and thus less likely to want to veto, the other way (the) president can kill a bill is by pocket veto, here is what happens, if the president doesn’t sign the bill within ten days, and congress (adjourns{v.休会;闭会}) during that time, then the bill will not become law, notice that (it) is only the end of entire session of congress that the pocket veto can be used, not just whenever congress take (the) shorter break, say, for a summer vocation, after a pocket veto, that particular bill is dead, if the lawmakers (in) congress want to push the matter in their next session, they’ll have to start all over with (a) brand new version of the bill.

Listen to part of a lecture in an art history class, one important thing about art movements is that their popularity can be affected by social conditions, which are themselves often affected by historical events, as an example, look at what happened in the United States early in the twentieth century, around the time of the great depression, the art movement known as regionalism had begun in the United States even before the depression occurred, but it really flourished in the ninety thirties, during the depression years, why, well, many artists who have been living in the big cities were forced by the economic (crisis{n.危机,紧要关头,危险期} to leave) those big cities and move back to the small towns in rural America, and some of these artist came to truly (embrace{v.拥抱} the) life in small towns and to reject city life (in) so called sophisticated society, these artists, or specifically certain painters really built regionalist movement, they created things of everyday life in small towns (or) farming areas, and their style was not at all-( neutral{a.中立的,无色的}), really big glorified a <romanticized> country life, showing it stable, wholesome, and embodying important American traditions, and this style became very popular, in part because of the economic conditions of the time, you see, the depression had caused the Americans to begin to doubt their society, but regionalism artists painted things that glorified American values, (scenes) that many American people could easily identified with, so the movement helped (strengthen) people’s faith in their country, faith that had weakened as the result of the depression, but in the nineteen forties, before and after the second world war, American culture began to take on a much more international spirit, and regionalism, with its focus on small town life, well it lost a lot of popularity, as American society changed once again.

+ ~0 k6 J9 u7 w! o' p+ ?Listen to part of the talk in a political science class, we are going to start today talking about congressional aids, that’s the people who work for our congressional <representatives> both in Washington and in the <representative’s> local districts, it used to be that members of congress had (a) relatively small staff of people working for them, and (all) of these people weren’t (of) primary importance, but now there’re thousands of (government’s) aids, and they’re profoundly affect the whole government works, congressional aids work in two different (notations{n.标志}), one, in congressional <representative’s> local offices, the district from which they were elected, and two, in Washington, staffs in the local offices help members of congress stay in touch with citizens in their districts, these citizens can bring problems (in,) in person or by mail or phone, this personal connection between the aids and local people can be helpful when the next election comes around, people remember the help they get from the office (of) local congressional <representatives>, but as you know, members of congress have to spend most of their time in Washington taking care of their <legislative> duties, over six thousand new laws are introduced in congress each session, without help, <representatives> would have trouble keeping up (with the) proposed laws that directly affect their districts, so that’s why the congressional aids play (their) major role in Washington, they keep their bosses informed about (the pending{a.悬而未决的;迫近的}) <legislation>, organizing hearings, and just keep their local congressional <representatives> up-to-date, and informed (on) what’s going on in other parts of congress, now, another thing (that) congressional aids do is to help develop ideas for laws that their bosses could eventually propose to congress, this can be called congress <entrepreneurial> function, a bit like a business <executive> (trying) to find out what product is most popular, congressional aids promote (or) encourage laws they think (will) be popular (for) public, (you’ve) also get other (employees) that work for the whole congress, not just individual members, we’ll talk about these people next.% ^2 b$ Z: u1 l/ g/ _( X  }5 X

Listen to a discussion in an ecology class, the class is talking about the salmon’s run, various species (of Pacific) salmon make a round trip from (the) small stream where they’re born, to the sea, and then back to the stream of their (origin), where they spawn and die, this round trip is known as the salmon’s run, the end of the salmon’s run is the begining of the next generation. Parcific salmon hatching in the headwaters of the stream, as fry, the fish then migrate downstream (via) rivers, and eventually to the ocean, where they require several year to mature, while in the sea, salmon from many river systems school and feed together, when mature, the salmon form (into) groups of common geographic origin (and) migrate back toward the river they emerged from (as juveniles{n.不成熟的}), is it true they find their way home by their sense of smell, during the first stage of their return, they navigate by the position of the sun, but later, when they reach the river leading to their home stream, their keen sense of smell takes over, just what is it they can smell, the other fish, the water flowing from each stream carries a unique scent, this scent comes from the types of plants, soil, and other components of that stream, this scent (is) apparently imprinted in the (memory of) salmon fry before it migrates to the sea, I remember having a real shock when I (was) hiking once, I was looking at a water fall, and I saw a salmon jump up, about ten feet, at first, I couldn’t believe my eyes, but then I saw another one do it, and then several more, it was an <awesome> sight, they must have a incredibly (powerful) instinct, the survival of their species depends on their ability to get home and reproduce, and, of course, other species depend on the survival of salmon, salmon (provide) an important (link) in the food chain, they spend ninety percent of their lives in the ocean, where they feed on plankton, shrimp and small fish, when they make their return journey, they carry <nutrients> from the ocean back to the rivers and streams, (up north), where I used to live in the river valley, the eagles would gather (for the) salmon run every year, they’d gorge themselves on all the salmon that had just spawned, nothing is wasted in nature, after the salmon spawn, their (carcass{n.尸体}) feed bird, mammals, and vegetation and even their own newly hatched offspring.
