Who elects the president?

　　November 7,2000 is a very special day in the United States. Voters all across the nation are 1 representatives in local and national races. Some people think that they're voting for the president of the country, too. They're not! Again, they're voting for 2 . These representatives are called electors(有選舉權(quán)的人). They are part of a system called the Electoral College(總統(tǒng)選舉團(tuán)).

　　In most states the electors are chosen on a winner take-all basis. That makes it possible for one candidate(候選人) to win the most electors while getting less popular votes nationally than his 3 .

　　The electors will meet in their respeetive(各自的) states and cast their votes for president and vice-president on December 18,2000. The Constitution(憲法) does not 4 the electors to vote for the candidates that they are pledged to, but they almost always do. On January 6,2001, just two weeks 5 the new president and vice-president take office, the votes will be counted in Congress.

　　If no one gets a majority (more than half) of the electoral votes, at least 270 out of 538, the 6 will be chosen by Congress. The House of Representatives will choose (one vote per state) the 7 and the Senate will choose the vice-president. It's not likely, but we could actually end up with a president from one party and a vice-president from another.

　　In an extremely close election, all kinds of strange outcomes are 8 . Will the 9 that most voters prefer be the next 10 ? And when will we even know?

My name is Amy. I’m a 25-year-old graduate student who likes yoga, home-decorating shows and eating spoonfuls of peanut butter   1  from the jar. Oh yeah, and I’m an iPhone addict.

I wasn’t always an addict. In fact, for many years I told myself I didn’t want a   2       cellphone. They seemed like too much work, always beeping, ringing and   3  attention. I was   4  content with my simple antique (古董，此處指舊手機(jī)), and I didn’t expect to change my mind any time soon.

However, about a year ago, I found myself envious of all those proud iPhone owners, cradling their shiny new phones and   5  all their friends. I started listening secretly to conversations about “iPhone apps”, feeling like a   6  listening to a language I couldn’t speak.

Eventually I couldn’t   7  my iPhone instinct (本能) any longer, and I welcomed my new iPhone into my life.

To my surprise, I suddenly found myself with a whole new circle of friends. They   8     my iPhone-related inquiries when my other friends couldn’t, and didn’t   9  when I bragged about (吹噓) all the things little Eloise (yes, I named her) could do.

However, I realized I had a problem when one day I found myself Google-mapping my way to my mailbox, which happens to be right outside my front door.

Okay, so I was addicted to my iPhone.

I decided   16  had to be done. But, as I quickly realized, iPhones are like   17  and not easy to quit.

Then, while taking the bus to work one day, I was   18  forced to quit—at least   19 . When I reached into my purse to grab Eloise, (to refer to my e-mail for only the seventh time that morning), I found her   20  by fever. She was so hot that I dropped her immediately back into my bag. When I picked her up again, she was gone.
