M: Well, it's a long process. We start off by deciding who the official candidate for each political party will be. Usually, a person first announces that he or she wants to run for President. If you want to be your party's official candidate, you need to raise money and gather support from party members. Candidates usually campaign to let people know what they represent. They give speeches, meet with community leaders, and participate in debates. This process lasts for several months, and then the party members vote to decide who they want m back in the election.
W: Do you have to be rich to become President？
M: You don't really have to be rich to become President, but it helps. Usually rich people have more connections and can raise money more effectively. Most of our Presidents in the past have been relatively rich men, but not all of them.
W: So, how do ye6 make the final decision？
M: After several months of television ads, interviews, speeches, and kissing babies we have the presidential election. Citizens go to a voting canter and cast their ballot for the candidate of their choice.
W: You sounded a little cynical when you said "kissing babies". What did you mean by that？
M: Well, it's quite common for politicians to have themselves photographed kissing babies. It's their way of trying to appear in touch with the average American, but it looks really phony. These days, becoming President is all about acting. The candidates try to appeal to so many different people that they end up abandoning their own opinions. Sometimes, it feels like the parties are ail the same.
W: How many parties are there？
M: We have many political parties in the United States, but most of them are quite small. There are really only two with significant power, the Democrats and the Republicans,
(20)
A．Raising money.
B．Gathering support from others.
C．Giving speeches.
D．Choosing the official candidate for each political party.

Anthony pitch has written scholarly books on subjects like the burning of Washington by British troops in 1814. And he's finishing another serious book about the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln. But Mr. pitch, a native Englishman and former journalist in Africa and the United States, also publishes simpler tourist guidebooks and maps, leads tours of Washington and each year freshens his Exclusively Presidential Trivia book. Anthony Pitch says such trivia as the reason Herbert Hoover was left out of a 1938 series of U.S. postage stamps about former presidents seems, well, trivial- even worthless. But he says these little nuggets are popular with families this Independence Day weekend. They challenge the memory of older folks and can provoke an interest in history by children.
Followings are talks between Pitch and Landphair, a radio programme host.
Pitch:" I'm a voracious reader of subjects that fascinate me. The presidency fascinates me. History fascinates me. And so even when I'm doing my very serious research, I am able to extract from my deep research gems that I can put in later editions of the book."
Landphair:" All right, I'm going to give two or three examples. And I'm going to ask you to pause just a second before answering to give our listeners a chance to perhaps take a guess. Here's the first one: Now we mentioned Herbert Hoover earlier. He was the thirty-first president of the United States. He served in the late 1920s and early 1930s. He was born in the state of Iowa. And you ask in the book, 'Why is that significant？'"
Pitch: "Because Hoover was the first president born west of the Mississippi River. That's why I find trivia fascinating, because from that little question and answer, you can now enlarge it into a perspective of how long it took for a president to arise from that far west."
Landphair:" Let's try another one. How many U.S. state capitals are named after presidents？ And by the way, before you answer, I asked a colleague this question, and she guessed 40. It's not 40, is it？"
Pitch: "No, it isn't. The four cities that are state capitals named after presidents are Jefferson City, Missouri; Lincoln, Nebraska; Madison, Wisconsin; and Jackson, Mississippi."
Landphair: "Just four, and these are early presidents. We don't have any' Clintons' or' Bushes' yet."
Pitch:"Not yet, but there's such a strong movement afoot amongst partisan Republicans to name places after Ronald Reagan that you should get ready for a[Reagan] state capital."
Landphair: "Have you come up with any questions yet about President Bush？"
Pitch: "Yes. In the latest edition, I ask what his nickname was when he was at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts. It's a very posh [exclusive] school. And he was nicknamed' Lip, ' because he wasn't afraid to voice his opinions on any subject!"
Anthony Pitch publishes three other trivia books besides the one called Exclusively Presidential Trivia. The others are about the White House, America's first ladies, and Washington, DC. Mr. Pitch's webpage is dcsightseeing com. By the way, if you're wondering about the answer to the first trivia item about President Hoover: He was left out of the series of stamps about ex-presidents in 1938, not because many people still blamed him for prolonging the Great Depression, but because the Postal Service had a strict role that no living person, not even a president, could appear on a U.S. po
A．High-ranking officials in US corporations.
B．Top-level US government officials like a defense secretary.
C．US Presidents.
D．Principals in US universities.

My dad was a fabulous President. And I tell people one reason why was not only did he know what he was doing, he was a fabulous father. Mr. Ambassador, honored guests, Laura and I, and my brother and my sister, are proud to be here with our dad as we open and dedicate this new embassy. No doubt this is an impressive complex. To me it speaks of the importance of our relations with China. It reflects the solid foundation underpinning our relations. It is a commitment to strengthen that foundation for years to come. //
I thank all those who designed and built the embassy, and all those who work here to advance the interests and values of our great nation. Dad and I are honored that Counselor Dai has joined us; and Minister Xie; Ambassador Zhou—who, by the way, opened a new Chinese embassy in Washington, D. C. , designed by I. M. Pei a couple weeks ago. We appreciate our friend Anne Johnson being here, he is the Director of the Art in Embassies Program. Dr. Kissinger, thanks for coming. //
It takes a special band to open the embassy—out of West Texas—Odessa, Texas, for that matter, the Gatlin boys are with us today. I thank the Red Poppies, thank you for your talent. And finally, I want to pay tribute to Sandy Randt, who has done a fabulous job as our Ambassador to China. Sandy, thank you and We're proud to be here with those citizens of ours who work at the embassies, and we say thanks to the Chinese nationals who make our embassy go, as well. //
I'm honored to represent the United States at the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympic Games here in Beijing. And I'm looking forward to cheering our athletes on. Mr. Ambassador, I'm not making any predictions about medal counts, but I can tell you the U.S. athletes are ready to come and compete, in the spirit of friendship. You know, during my last visit here I had the opportunity to break in the mountain biking course. I was so proud of my efforts, I told Laura I was thinking about entering the competition myself. She reminded me they don't give any medals for last place. //
Tonight the Olympic torch will light the home of an ancient civilization with a grand history. Thousands of years ago, the Chinese people developed a common language and unified a great nation. China became the center for art and literature, commerce and philosophy. China advanced the frontiers of knowledge in medicine, astronomy, navigation, engineering, and many other fields. And the Chinese are even said to have invented the parachute—something for which the 41st President is very grateful. //
We share a long history. The first American ship arrived in China just after the year we won our independence. World War Ⅱ, Americans and Chinese fought side by side to liberate this land from Imperial Japan. We all remember very clearly, Dr. K, when President Nixon came to Beijing to begin a new era of dialogue between our nations. You might remember that yourself. //
Today the United States and China have built a strong relationship, rooted in common interests. China has opened its economy and begun to unleash the entrepreneurial spirit of its people. America will continue to support China on the path toward a free economy. We're also cooperating to fight pandemic diseases and respond to natural disasters. And through the Six-Party Talks, we're working together to ensure that the Korean Peninsula is free of nuclear weapons. //
The relationship between our nations is constructive and cooperative and candid. We'll continue to be candid about our mutual global responsibilities. We

National Geographic Lifts Veil on Air Force One
Until Franklin D. Roosevelt, no U. S. President traveled by air while in office. World War Ⅱ changed that, and since then an executive aircraft has been an indispensable tool of the Presidency.
But keeping the President safe from assassins and in command of the government and U. S.armed services at all times, anywhere in the world, requires a huge security and support staff—and a flying for tress as secure and technologically equipped as the Oval Office itself.
As the Presidency evolved, so has Air Force One, as the presidential aircraft is officially known. The President's personal aircraft has become larger, faster, and a potent symbol of political and diplomatic power.
Crammed with secret military technology, including anti-missile defense and encrypted communications, Air Force One has remained largely off limits to news cameras. A new television documentary shot for National Geographic, airing in the United States July 11, offers a rare glimpse at the facilities on board the custom-built Boeing 747 and the many people who keep the executive plane .aloft.
"As you can imagine, the security is pretty ferocious on Air Force One," said Peter Schnall, the producer-director for Air Force One. "And yet, we were allowed to see things that nobody else has seen, and were allowed to film things that nobody else has ever filmed. And in such situations, things arc still kept secret, classified, and for the fight reasons."
Former Presidents Recollect The documentary offers rare footage of the inside of Air Force One, from the cockpit and communications room to the presidential suite and various meeting rooms.
The film follows an actual journey made by President Clinton on a swing through several cities in the United States. Details of the intricate planning and preparations for a presidential journey arc revealed.
Viewers witness many of the myriad functions involved in any presidential travel, as when the Secret Service sends out advance teams, tests and seals the aircraft fuel, dispatches agents to check runways for debris, issues "orders to shoot" if there is a threat during the President's boarding or disembarking, and travels ahead in separate aircraft to deliver the President's bullet-proof limousine and an arsenal of small arms in case of an ambush.
The documentary describes how all the U.S. armed services arc involved in moving the President a round the country. It focuses on the officer who carries the "football," or briefcase that contains the launch codes and authority for the President to launch nuclear-tipped missiles in the event of an attack against the United States.
Former crew members and passengers, including several ex-Presidents, share anecdotes about life on board.
Daily Routines Two kitchens in Air Force One turn out gourmet meals, including birthday cakes when needed. The President may sleep in a full-size bed, relax on a sofa, take a shower, or work behind a desk.
A special communications compartment enables the President and other officials to make encrypted phone calls to anywhere on Earth. During the film viewers learn that in' one such call, former President Clinton called a friend who was driving on a freeway.
Former Presidents Carter, Bush, and Clinton have fond memories of Air Force One, Schnall said.
"The plane, to them, really represents a place where they can be themselves, relax and get away from the demands of the White House and the Oval Office," Schnall explained. "Former President Bush would sometimes go to Andrews Air Force Base the night before the flight, get on board, go to sleep on the airplane, and wake up in the air."
Viewers learn that Air Force One is a powerful diplomatic and political tool that Presidents use frequently to influence votes in Congress or to impress international allies and foes. It may
