听力原文：W: Hey, Joe. What's all this talk about a benefit walkathon this weekend？
M: Don't you know？ Most of the residents in Parker Hall are going to try to walk the seven miles from the Engineering Library, across campus, and down to City Hall in an effort to raise money for the new children's hospital.
W: Sounds like a good ideal But I don't understand where the money comes from.
M: Well, a few days before the walkathon, each participant goes around asking people to pledge a certain amount of money for each mile that he or she expects to walk in the event. Then after the walkathon is over, the participants go back to those same people, collect the money pledged, and send it to the hospital.
W: So you mean if you pledge, say, a dollar a mile and you walk five miles, then you get five dollars.
M: That's fight. Of course most of my friends aren't such big spenders. The biggest pledge I've gotten so far is 25 cents a mile.
W: And how many people have made pledges for you？
M: Eleven so far. Say, how about making it a dozen？
W: Sure. If you'll do the same for me. The walkathon sounds like the perfect opportunity for me to break in my new pair of sports shoes.

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,

M: The doctors say it's just a minor operation. But it has to be done as soon as possible. And...the problem is my daughter.
W: In what way, Jerry？

W: I see. You need a few days off to look after your daughter while your wife is in hospital.
M: Yes, will that be all right？
W: I'm sure it will, Jerry. All I want to do now is to make sure that there's someone to cover for you while you're away. Uh...how long did you say you'll need？
