California Democrat Jane Harman responded to Republican assertions that by merely extending the law, Democrats would be placing Americans at risk by depriving the intelligence community of crucial anti-terrorist tools.
“This debate is not, as someone on the other side want to characterize it, about Democrats wanting to candle terrorists. We emphatically do not. We want to capture or kill them. It is beyond cynical to suggest otherwise.”
Congressman L Smith was among Republican making the allegation.
“Another extension represents a failure by the House Democratic majority to protect the American people. The Senate understands this. The intelligence community needs a long-term bill to fix gaps in our intelligence laws, not a 21 day extension.”
Earlier, President Bush challenged House Democrats to debate and approve the Senate passed bill, saying the security of American is at stake. After a meeting with the president, House and Senate Republican leaders urged House Democrats to bring the Senate legislation to a vote. Mich McConel is Senate minority leader.
“The president is fully aware that it is about policy majority in the House to pass the Senate bill.”

布什总统吹说这家企业是现在经济正常发展的例子，一家私有企业经过几年的发展成为世界上最大的直升机制造商。

He said the people who work at Robinson Helicopter Company know only too well that expanding U.S. exports goes hand in hand with boosting economic growth.
他说，在Robinson直升机公司工作的人们非常清楚的知道，扩大美国的出口和推动经济增长密不可分。

他还说道：“你们在这里有个好工作，人们都在工作着。你们70%的产品都销往海外。当你们70%的产品销往海（不包括美国）时，人们不能对Robinson直升机厂的人说他们的贸易不好。人们因此要在这说，贸易不是一般的好，而是非常好。”

今天听了AP,SP,ST,BBC*2, TEM4的DICTATION~~~
好久没有这种感觉了~~~
感觉又回到了去年暑假，每天练习NEWS的感觉，真好~~~
不过上学来的半年，有点荒废了自己的听力~~~
没有设备么...最多就是每个星期的一篇DICTATION了~~~
其实练得好少，不荒废才怪了...
今天听了这些，显然SP和tem4的听写还是比较OK的~~~
明显ST已经退化了...
轮到BBC的话，由于那个暑假，很喜欢这个音调，所以好像还不错~~~
但是说到最难的AP就不行了，只有前两段能听出来，后面的就叽里咕噜的....
这次寒假，乘着复习TEM4和高口，再好好听听这些新闻的听力吧~~~
去年可因为这个，长了见识，提高了听力呢~~~
嘿嘿，再坚持听写一个月~~~

SIA还是没有及格,明年又要考了...
上个星期去了报了高级,其实不是为了那个考试,而是为了专四,3月的考试...为了这个的复习提高专四的成绩,毕竟里面有很大一部分是相同的....
接下去的口试还是要报的....命苦的小孩....
因为我说过一句话,不会让自己考三次的...所以说5月的考试等于是给自己的最后一次复习机会...又要开始忙碌了.
这次的六级也因为各个考试而变成了几乎裸考了,考的不理想,至少离自己的目标差很远了...第一点就是时间不够.
下次还是要再考一次了...
寒假...又是一个忙碌的假期...
记得今年的暑假我的目标是:中口笔试,计算机,口试,普通话和六级
那明年的寒假就是高口的笔试,专四,口试和六级了...
同样明年六级我一定会全力以赴的...至少就算在复习其他的考试,也会因为复习而提高能力的吧....
