第二篇 A New Immigration Bill
The US Senate is considering a new immigration bill．It will value the economic promise of immigrants over family ties when considering US residency and citizenship The legislation，which was proposed by President Bush and a group of senators contains a•point system．The proposal aims to increase the number of immigrants with graduate degrees，earnings or job skills
The proposed point system would use a 100-point scale．According to a draft of the law，merit applicants could earn up to 47 points for things like occupation，or years of work for a US firm．They could earn up to 28 points for their education，15 points for
English and US civics(公民学)，and 1 0 points for family ties．The system has stirred up debate．Critics on the left say it opposes family unity and American values．Critics on the right complain that it does not reflect the needs of high-tech employersThe current kinship(血缘关系)•based system puts pressure on the US，as it attracts OW—skill workers who consume more public devices than they pay back in taxes．It allows a variety of uneducated people in from Mexico and Central America The immigration bill would allow, eight. years to clear the current backlog(积压)of application for a permanent resident card，or green card．After that，only the children and spouses(配偶)of legal immigrants would be able to apply for family visas．Adult children，siblings(兄弟姐妹)，parents，and other relatives would have to apply in the general queue(排队)．Under the proposal，immigrants from Asian countries would likely fare well(很有利)．For instance，over half of recent immigrants from China and India have a bachelor’s(学士的)or higher degree．Immigrants from Latin American countries would likely face more difficulties．
Immigration point systems have been in use in Canada，Australia and New Zealand for years．The UK adopted a similar approach in 2001．One thing that Canada and other nations have discovered is that their system needs to fit the needs of their economy．Too often they find that they attract highly-educated people who end up finding work that doesn't use their skills．Some end up driving a taxi．

第三篇 Political Spins
Last week，US White House spokesman Tony Snow sent journalists digging for their dictionaries．He called recent criticism by the former President Bill Clinton“chutzpah”(大胆放肆)．With just one sentence，Snow managed to make headlines，a joke and a defense of．President George W Bush．Interestingly, this is how battles are fought and won in US politics—with carefully-worded one—liners(一行字幕新闻)made for TV which often lack substance and clarity(清晰度)．
“The amount of information that candidates attempt to communicate to people is actually geeing smaller and smaller，”said Mark Smith，a political science professor at Cedarville University．This has been accompanied by a changing media environment，Smith said．In 1 968，the average TV or radio sound bite(演讲中的句子或短语)was 48seconds，according to Smith．In 1996，the average sound bite had shrunk(缩短)to 8 seconds．Thus，politicians wanting publicity try to make their public communication as quotable as possible．
Campaigning politicians also use 30-second TV ads and clever campaign slogans(口号)to boost their messages．Republican presidential candidate John McCain rides to campaign stops in a bus named the” Straight-Talk Express"．McCain hopes the name will convince voters he plans to tell people the troth-whether it's in fashion or not．Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton，on the other hand，has chosen the campaign slogan“Let the conversation begin”．She hopes it will help her appear open-minded and friendly．
