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

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.

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

She says the program helps children get ready to work with people in other countries. “Look at nowadays, America started economic
