[03:00.11]Passage One
[03:01.73]Human beings are never satisfied.
[03:04.89]They have always wanted things to be easier,faster,more comfortable or more convenient.
[03:12.08]Human history is the history of inventions.
[03:16.21]An invention is something totally original,something that nobody else has thought of.
[03:22.87]It may be something physical,like a new machine,or it may be a new way of doing something,like the reorganization of production methods in a factory.
[03:34.07]The earliset inventions,like boats and weapons,were simple but effective ways of meeting basic need
[03:41.94]and were developed independently by people in different parts of the world who needed to travel or to hunt.
[03:48.88]Modern inventions are more technical and more specialised.
[03:53.67]If you come up with an original idea,the first thing to do is to register your invention at the Patent Office.
[04:01.84]It will be given a special number,which acts as a guarantee against anyone else stealing your idea.
[04:10.93]Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.
[04:18.06]11.Why are human beings never satisfied?
[04:24.36]12.What inventions are mentioned in this passage?

[04:42.07]The United States is a federal union of 50 states.

[04:51.45]The federal constitution sets up the structures of the national government and lists its powers and activities.
[04:58.58]The Constitution gives Congress the authority to make laws which are necessary for the common defense3 and the good of the nation.
[05:06.26]It also gives the federal government the power to deal with national and international problems that involve more than one state.
[05:15.35]All powers that are not given to the federal government by the Constitution are the responsibility of the individual states.
[05:23.58]The federal government has three branches___the executive,the legislative4,and the judicial5
[05:30.79]The legislative branch makes the laws;the executive branch carries out the laws;and the judicial branch interprets the laws.
[05:40.85]The president heads the executive branch and the Supreme6 Court heads the judicial branch.
[05:47.51]The legislative branch includes both houses of Congress____the Senate and the House of Representatives.
[05:54.17]The Constitution limits the powers of each branch and prevents one branch from gaining too much power.
[06:00.93]For example.Congress can pass a law and the president may sign it.
[06:06.24]Nevertheless,the Supreme Court can declare the law unconstitutional and invalidate it.
[06:14.10]Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have just heard.
