听力原文: Ladies and gentlemen, I am glad that we are together to understand the power of yoga. Nowadays, movie stars do it; sports stars do it; even judges in the highest courts do it: that yoga thing. A path to entertainment that winds back 5,000 years in its native India, yoga has suddenly become so hot, so cool, so very this minute.
In America, people rush from their high pressure jobs and tune in the authoritatively mellow voice of an instructor, gently urging them to solder a union between mind and body. 15 million Americans, include some form. of yoga in their fitness regimen, 75% of all US health clubs offer yoga classes.
Yoga relaxes you, and by relaxing, heals. When you do yoga -- the deep breathing, the stretching, the movement that release muscle tension, the relaxed focus on being present in your body -- you initiate a process that turns the fight, or fight system off and relaxation reponse on, that has a dramatic effect on the body.
Who are not mentioned in the passage those doing yoga nowadays?
A.Movie stars.
B.Sports starts.
C.Judges in the highest courts.
D.People in the entertainment industry.

One suggestion that has been made in order to maximize the efficiency of the system is to allow districts that have an overabundance of pending cases to borrow judges from other districts that do not have such a workload. Another suggestion is to use pretrial conferences, in which the judge meets in his chambers with the litigants and their lawyers in order to narrow the issues, limit the witnesses, and provide for a more orderly trial. The theory behind pretrial conferences is that judges will spend less time on each case and parties will more readily settle before trial when they realize the adequacy of their claims and their opponents' evidence. Unfortunately, at least one study has shown that pretrial conferences actually use more judicial time than they save, rarely result in pretrial settlements, and actually result in higher damage settlements.
Many states have now established another method, small-claims courts, in which cases over small sums of money can be disposed of with considerable dispatch. Such proceedings cost the litigants almost nothing. In California, for example, the parties must appear before the judge without the assistance of counsel. The proceedings are quite informal and there is no pleading--the litigants need to make only a one-sentence statement of their claim. By going to this type of court, the plaintiff(原告) gives up any right to a jury trial and the right to appeal the decision.
In coming years, we can expect to see more and more innovations in the continuing effort to correct a situation which must be corrected if the citizens who have valid claims are going to be able to have their day in court.
The pretrial conference, in theory, is supposed to do all of the following EXCEPT ______.
A.narrow the issues
B.cause early settlements
C.save judicial time
D.increase settlement costs

Her nomination this past week was criticized by some in the president's Republican Party, who question the former-Democratic lawyer's conservative credentials.
Ms. Miers has never been a judge, and has spent most of her career in corporate litigation. She does not have a wide collection of legal opinions on Constitutional issues indicating where she stands on politically-divisive social topics, including abortion.
In his weekly radio address, President Bush tried to reassure conservatives that Ms. Miers understands the restrained and modest role of judges to interpret laws as written, not as he or she might wish they were written.
"I chose Harriet Miers for the Court both because of her accomplishments, and because I know her character and her judicial philosophy," said President Bush. "Harriet Miers will be the type of judge I said I would nominate: a good conservative judge. She shares my belief that judges should strictly interpret the Constitution and laws, not legislate from the bench."
President Bush says her work as White House counsel has involved complex matters of constitutional law, serving as the chief legal advisor during regular meetings of the National Security Council and handling sensitive issues of relations between the White House and Congress.
Why do some Party members reject Bush's nomination?
A.Because they think Ms. Micra is inexperienced.
B.Because they don't believe Ms. Miers is conservative.
C.Because Ms. Miers is a woman.
D.Because Ms. Miers is a Democrat.
