初二英语听力：扳倒默克尔

Germany’s parliamentary election

德国国会选举

Charging at Merkel

冲!扳倒默克尔!

The Social Democrats pick their candidate to challenge Angela Merkel

社民党候选人VS安吉拉·默克尔

Peer Steinbruck is a rare German politician in that his sense of irony, delivered in the staccato Hanseatic dialect of his native Hamburg, is sharp, even hilarious. His favourite animal is the rhinoceros, and rhetorically he charges ahead in much the same way. His main hobby is chess, at which he seems to excel. In sheer intellect, he can match Angela Merkel, Germany’s chancellor, whom Mr Steinbruck will challenge in next year’s parliamentary election. “It won’t be a boring campaign,” Mr Steinbruck promised wryly on October 1st, after the leaders of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) nominated him.

佩尔·施泰因布吕克是为数不多的能让自己的讽刺既听起来尖酸又令人发笑的德国政治家，他带着家乡汉堡间断的汉撒方言。他最喜欢犀牛，从修辞的角度看，他向前冲的方式也与犀牛非常相似。国际象棋是他的业余爱好，在这方面他似乎造诣深厚。就纯粹才智而言，他能媲美现任总理默克尔，明年他俩将角逐国会选举。10月1日在被社民党(SPD)领导人提名为候选人后，施泰因布吕克带点自嘲地地保证“不会让选战太无聊”。

初二英语听力：Advertising-广告

What is advertising? Is it telling the truth or is it making things look better than they really are? Or is it lying? Companies pay a lot of money for adverts. Some of the ads you see inglossy magazines look like art. The commercials on TV look like mini movies. Do they really change our behaviour? Do adverts make you buy things? I think some advertising is a form of lying. Is BMW really “The ultimate driving machine” like they say in their ads? BritishAirways used to say they were “The world’s favourite airline,” but had to stop saying it because it wasn’t true. Personally, I get tired of watching ads on television. They always interrupt a good programme. I like ads in magazines. They’re usually quite interesting.
