25、 The 435 members of the House are elected every two years, and the number from each state is determined by the population of the state. For example, California, which has a large population, has 43 representatives, while the State of Nevada has only one. The House and Senate are divided into small

26、groups which take care of special matters such as education or foreign affairs. The most important work of Congress is often done in these groups, which are called subcommittees. According to the Constitution of the United States, a senator must be at least 30 years old and he must have been a citiz

27、en of the United States for nine years at the time of his election. To be elected to the House a person must be 25 years old and must have been a United States citizen for seven years. At the present time, members of Congress include businessmen, farmers, teachers, and especially lawyers. In general

32、es.Air France SA said Monday that its second-quarter net profit fell 35 percent to ?57 million ($57.4 million), but sales were steady and operating profit surged. Earnings before interest and tax, a measure of operating income, gained 86 percent to ?141 million as fuel costs fell and cargo traffic r

33、ose. Air France has been hurt less than rivals such as British Airways PLC and Lufthansa AG by the slowdown on North Atlantic routes following the war on Iraq in 2003 because it has fewer flights in that market. Net income fell as the airline paid deferred taxes that came due. Sales rose 0.9 percent

34、 to ?3.2 billion. The carrier lost about ?80 million in revenue because of a four-day strike by pilots in September. An accord was reached tying future pay increases to inflation. The carrier said that first-half fuel costs fell 15 percent to ?680 million. Cargo traffic rose 11 percent in the second

35、 quarter, while passenger traffic rose 1.1 percent. The airline s shares gained 87 cents, or 7.7 percent, to close at ?12.11.
