ce a bill, or present the bill for the group's consideration. Introducing the bill is a great honor and many Congress people consider it a historical move because many of these bills eventually become law. But before the bill can be considered, it must first be drafted, or put into the proper language. Usually a Congressional staff member familiar with the particulars of the Congressional vocabulary drafts the bill. In addition, many businesses, labor, farm, and other special interest groups will also draft bills they want Congress to consider.

When the bill is ready for consideration, it follows two different procedures, depending on where the bill is introduced. In the House, representatives place their bills in the hopper.

听力原文： I wonder how many of you would want to work in a tall building such as the Empire State Building if you had to climb 102 flights of stairs to reach the top. Not many, I imagine. If it were not for the invention of elevators, or lifts, tall buildings would be unusable.

The first lift was just a box suspended on a rope. Using a series of pulleys, a group of oxen or strong men would pull the rope and lift the box to a higher point. Lifts were used only for heavy materials, not passengers. Even in the nineteenth century, when steam power was used to operate the lifts, people didn' t ride them. They didn' t trust the rope that held the Box.

In 1853, Elisha G. Otis invented the first safe lift. He showed his invention in New York at the Crystal Palace Exhibition. At the exhibition, Otis was pulled up in an open box that was attached to two guide rails. When he was lifted far above the spectators, he gave the order to cut the rope. To the amazement of the crowd, the lift did not fall straight downward to the floor. Instead, it was held fast to the guide mils by a certain device. He had built powerful metal clamps on the carriage as a safety measure. The demonstration worked, end people have been riding as passengers in elevators ever since.
