第333期：主餐一道：泛听练习
以下段落是摘自新闻里的一些重要信息,并不是一个段落的听写。空内信息可在本新闻中全部找到,大家可以根据这些信息复述新闻。
一、泛听建议：
1、完整听一遍，掌握大意。
2、继续听，特别注意关键信息。遇到相似的词，写下来。
President Obama _1_ new executive measures as part of his effort to close the persistent pay gap between men and women. NPR Scott Horsley says federal contractors will soon have to give the government more information about how much they pay their male and female employees.
奥巴马总统签署新的行政措施，努力缩小男女之间长期存在的薪资差异。据NPR新闻的斯科特·霍斯利报道，行政令要求联邦承包商尽快向政府提供支付给男女雇员的薪资情况。
Obama's executive order is part of a concerted push this week by Democrats in Washington to address what they say is an unfair gap in the typical pay for men and women, even those _2_ the same jobs. While Obama's order applies only to federal contractors, the senate _3_ to vote on the bill to extend similar equal pay protections throughout the economy. "Equal pay is not just an economic issue for millions of Americans and families. It's also about whether we _4_ build an economy that works for everybody, and whether we're gonna do our part to make sure that our daughters have the same chances to _5_ their dreams as our sons." Congressional Republicans are likely to block the bill, which they say is a desperate political maneuver to deflect attention from a slow growing economy that's stifling opportunity. Scott Horsley, NPR News, the White House.
奥巴马的行政令与本周民主党在华盛顿发表演讲的内容一致，民主党在演讲中表示，男女雇员的收入分配不均，甚至从事相同工作的男女雇员也存在这一问题。但奥巴马的命令仅适用于联邦承包商，参议院将就平等工资保护扩大至整个经济体系中的法案进行投票。“对上百万个美国家庭来说，同工同酬不仅仅是经济问题。它与我们是否愿意构建适用于所有人的经济体系有关，同时也与我们是否要努力确保我们的女儿与儿子有同样追求梦想的机会有关。”国会共和党人很可能阻止这份法案，他们称这是危险的政治手段，会使大家将注意力从缓慢发展的经济转移到沉闷的机会上面。NPR新闻，斯科特·霍斯利白宫报道。
