This means there are fewer senators than Congres

27、s Representatives but they do have the power to defeat any bill that has been passed by the Congress. 9Their function is to provide more scrutiny over the decisions and actions of the Congress Representatives, and to make sure that bills, passed by the House of Representatives, are not driven by nar

28、row local interests. In England, the British have an appointed House of Lords to provide a “second sober thought” about new laws. 10In America, senators are thought to do the same thing, but the primary difference is that they are elected and very responsive to public opinion. However, because they

29、do not have to face 11elections for 6 years, it was thought that they may be more rational than populists, although in practice the Senate and the Congress are still very much swayed by the views of public opinion or by powerful lobby groups. If the bill is passed in the Senate, then it goes to the

30、President to either sign or reject. If he signs it, it becomes law, but 12if he rejects it, that is to say he vetoes the bill, or refuses to sign it, or as they say, “pocket vetoes it”, it will be sent back to the Congress. If the Congress disagrees with the President enough and does not want to cha

31、nge or amend the bill, they can set aside the Presidents rejectioncalled setting aside the veto. Questions 9 to 12 are based on the passage you have just heard. 9. What aspect of the Senate does the speaker talk about? 10. What is the main difference between the American Senate and British House of

33、buying a dog, however, you should first decide what sort of companion you need and whether the dog is likely to be happy in the surroundings you can provide. Specialist advice is available to help you choose the most suitable breed of dog. But in part, the decision depends on common sense. Most bree

34、ds were originally developed to perform specific tasks. So, if you want a dog to protect you or your house, for example, you should choose a breed that has the right size and characteristics. You must also be ready to devote a good deal of time to train the dog when it is young and give it the exerc

35、ise it needs throughout its life, unless you live in the country and can let it run freely. Dogs are demanding pets. Whereas cats identify with the house and so are content if their place there is secure, 14a dog identifies with its master and consequently wants him to show proof of his affection. T

36、he best time to buy a baby dog is when its between 6 and 8 weeks old so that 15it can transfer its affection from its mother to its master. If baby dogs have not established a relationship with the human being until they are over three months old, their strong relationship will always be with dogs.

What is mentioned as a consideration in buying a dog? 14. In what way is a dog said to be more demanding than a cat? 15. Why is it advised

40、about the culture of the other country. Milady Baez is Deputy Chancellor of English Language Learners and Student Support. 16She says these dual-language programs will help children succeed in the future. “The jobs of the future require that our students know more than one language. They are going t

41、o be traveling abroad. They are going to be communicating with people from all over the world. This will open doors for them.” Shuya Zhang teaches a dual language class. She says the program helps children get ready to work with people in other countries. “Look at nowadays, America started economic

42、relationships with China. Lots of factories have been built, companies moved to China. They need people with both language skills so when the kids are grown up, they already have this skill.” Middle-schoolers might not have jobs on their minds yet. 17For Kequing Jaing, she likes keeping up her first

45、s in seven other languages: Arabic, French, Haitian Creole, Hebrew, Korean, Polish and Spanish. There are plans to add even more languages in the future. While these dual-language programs are popular, some groups in the U.S. say teaching English comes first. U.S. English wants to make English the o

46、fficial language of the United States. “We have no problem with folks speaking multiple languages if people want to speak a different language at home,” says To dd DuBois with U.S. English. 19“What we do think is schools should prioritize English.” He says studies show that children who learn Englis

47、h early will be more successful later. And, he says, focusing on English in the classroom will help the students learn the language faster.
