听力原文： President Bush is defending his choice of White House Counsel Harriet Miers to b

e the next Supreme Court justice.

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.

听力原文： After meeting with Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfield and senior military office

rs, President Bush praised what be indicated is a new approach to gaining control of Iraqi cities. He said progress in training Iraq's new army makes it possible.

"It used to be that after we cleared out a city, there were not enough qualified Iraqi troops to maintain control. And so what would happen is the terrorists would wait for us to leave and they would try to move back in, and sometimes with success. Now the increasing number of more capable Iraqi troops allows us to hold onto the cities we have taken from the terrorists."

President Bush also said Iraqi forces are taking a larger role in many military operations in the country. He said the operation now ending to gain control of the northwestern city of Najaf was the first to involve more Iraqi troops than foreign forces. And he reported that coalition and Iraqi efforts will shift to the west to secure the large, sparsely-populated Province of Al-Anbar. The president said Iraqi forces will take control there.

Who did President Bush meet with？

A．Defense Secretary

B．Secretary of State

C．US Midwest Army Commander
