[VOA听写] 2008-04-17
欢迎来到“杂乱的书桌”每天准时为你带来的VOA听写，本期的慢速VOA是数学教育的新闻第一部分，标准VOA则是关于韩国总统访美的新闻的第二部分。还犹豫什么，赶紧和Hugh一起加入到学习英语，锻炼听写的队伍中来吧！
对于慢速VOA，没什么难度，当然是你要知道加减乘除的英语怎么说，还有代数这样的词，相信多数人都知道这几个词。而标准VOA当中语速感觉有点快，听的时候稍微有些麻烦，一句话经常需要听很多遍才可以，尽管很费劲的听完了，不过错误还是可以，这也许就是进步？
今天因为早上一早去了英国使馆签证，所以早上就没有听完，到了晚上这才把标准VOA听了。好累啊，其实想每天都坚持做这么一件事情感觉没有那么容易，本来以为自己可以很容易的做到的，继续努力吧！现在仿佛进入一个奇怪的状态，就是不想听，哎……

题目: Searching for Better Ways to Teach Math in US (1/2)
专有名词: N/A
原文
A committee has released its final report on ways to improve math education for American students. President Bush created the National Mathematics Advisory Panel two years ago. The panel examined thousands of reports, along with survey results from more than seven hundred algebra teachers. Yet the report, released last month, is short on detailed advice. It says existing research does not show just what knowledge or skills are needed for effective math teaching. The solution? More research. The report does say basic math skills must be taught completely in the early years of school. Children should be able to add and subtract in the third grade. By the end of fifth grade, they should be able to multiply and divide. Teachers should avoid revisiting skills year after year. And, the experts say, it is wrong to think children are too young or not ready to learn certain content at certain ages. The report says a major goal for kindergarten through eighth grade should be understanding fractions. These skills are needed for algebra. Yet, the report says, at the present time they seem to be severely underdeveloped in American students.

题目: S.Korean President Leaves For Summit Aimed At Better Ties With US, Japan
专有名词: Pyongyang（平壤）, Yu Myung-hwan, Singapore
原文
The North tested its first nuclear weapon in 2006,
(and)an event some say was made easier by the relatively uncritical transfers of billions of dollars worth of aid and investment from the South. President Lee, a conservative former(cooperate)corporate chairman, says the South will continue to help the North, but only if Pyongyang cooperates on getting rid of its nuclear weapons. He says South Korea will persuade North Korea to give up its nuclear(programs)program through ongoing six-nation diplomacy, and that the North must come to realize that ending its nuclear programs will be beneficial. North Korea is now nearly five months overdue in providing a declaration of its nuclear activities that it promised to produce by the end of last year. A recent U S-North Korea meeting in Singapore has fostered hope(of)a breakthrough may be near. South Korean Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan says he hopes the negotiations can get back to a brisk pace. He says South Korea believes the multinational nuclear diplomacy needs to resume by next month, and that the six nations should ideally sign a new phase of a disarmament agreement by August.
