1、完整聽一遍，掌握大意。

Congress is at a standstill and still there is no end in sight to the government shutdown. As NPR's Tamara Keith reports, the House spent the day _1_ votes on bills the Senate has already said it will reject.
國(guó)會(huì)陷入停滯狀態(tài)，而政府關(guān)門的現(xiàn)狀近期也不會(huì)停止。據(jù)NPR新聞的塔瑪拉·基思報(bào)道，白宮花了一天的時(shí)間對(duì)法案進(jìn)行投票，而參議院已經(jīng)表示會(huì)拒絕這些法案。
First it was World War II veterans not being able to get into monuments, then children with cancer _2_ turned away from clinic trials at the National Institutes of Health. House Republicans donned white lab coats to press the Senate to take up a bill to reopen NIH. Renee Ellmers is a North Carolina Republican, who was a nurse before _3_ Congress.
首先，第二次世界大戰(zhàn)的老兵無(wú)法進(jìn)入紀(jì)念碑，患有癌癥的兒童被美國(guó)國(guó)家衛(wèi)生研究院的臨床試驗(yàn)拒絕。白宮共和黨人穿上白大褂向參議院施壓，要求采納重啟美國(guó)國(guó)家衛(wèi)生研究院的法案。北卡羅來(lái)納州共和黨人蕾妮·埃爾莫斯在進(jìn)入國(guó)會(huì)前曾是一名護(hù)士。
"We have taken that hope away, and we need to replace it, and I say to Harry Reid in the Senate: Bring this up for a vote."
“我們已經(jīng)不抱希望，我們需要進(jìn)行替換，我要對(duì)參議院的哈利·里德說(shuō)：讓它能進(jìn)行投票。”
Reid, the Senate Majority Leader, says he doesn't plan to. The solution to all of the awful _4_ of the government shutdown, he says, is to reopen the government.House Republicans are still insisting on changes to the Affordable Care Act as a condition to _5_ a government funding bill. Tamara Keith, NPR News, the Capitol.
參議院多數(shù)黨領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人里德表示，他并沒有這個(gè)計(jì)劃。他表示，政府關(guān)閉造成的所有糟糕影響的解決方案是重開政府。眾議院共和黨仍然堅(jiān)持以改變平價(jià)醫(yī)療法案作為通過(guò)政府撥款法案的條件。NPR新聞，塔瑪拉·基思國(guó)會(huì)山報(bào)道。
