[单项选择]

The United States is a democracy, which means that the citizens run the government. Since we can’t all make the rules, we elect representatives—our president, vice-president, senators, congressmen, governors, and others who make the laws and govern our country based on the beliefs of the people. These elected officials help pass laws that reflect the interests of their constituents, the people who live within the areas they represent.
Since the right to choose these representatives is in the hands of the people, it is very important that everyone in a community go to the polls to cast their ballots (投票). If only a few people vote, then the elected representatives may not truly represent the interests of the full community.
Some day you may disagree with a decision made by your governor, state and federal (联邦的) representatives, or the president. The best way to make your opinion known is to go to the polls and elect new officials whom you believe will b
A. the government is elected by the citizens
B. the rules and laws are made by the people
C. what the president does is under permission of all the citizens
D. everyone has a fight to make changes in its future

[单项选择]The United States stands for freedom and democracy. There is a large gap between the rhetoric and the reality, but the United States does export its political ideals abroad. And it does not just rely on force to do so. It relies on government-funded foundations like the National Endowment for Democracy that distribute grants to pro-democracy organizations abroad. US-based NGOs like Freedom House rank countries according to their adherence to political freedom, the implication being that other countries should conform to the ideals espoused in the US Constitution.
