　　关于政府the government是否应该own Amtrak(Amtrak是美国的铁路公司，为政府所有)。Reading认为公交系统应该取消或由私人公司承包。
　　阅读材料观点：
　　1. 证据：赚不到钱(不能make profit)，反而赔钱lose money。有些车路线很偏僻，去remote area，很少有人坐。
　　2. 证据：对私有的Transportation company(比如Airlines)很不公平。因为政府只给火车funding，并没有support those companies等，以至于他们没法降价，难以和或者争顾客。
　　3. 证据：在美国火车不是那么popular /out of date。大部分人选择使用汽车而不是火车，因此政府不应该再funding，而是直接投资高速high way的建设，培训工作人员，播报天气预报。
　　听力材料对其进行了反驳：
　　1. 证据：government funding火车不是为了赚钱make profit，而是为了给偏僻地区remote and unpopulated的人提供方便provide services。住在remote area的人需要用火车，他们跟住在城市的人一样有权利right享受公共交通。
　　2. 证据：政府对航空公司airline有很多各种各样的支持funding了，例如paying bills from the air traffic control towers, training aviators and weather forecasting organizations。
　　3. 证据：大家不坐火车不是因为火车过时popular，而是速度慢效率低，导致人们使用自己的私人汽车。要是政府在train system上多投资来improve the service，像Japan and Europe那样，既方便又便宜more affordable and faster，人们都会愿意坐火车。结论说政府应该多投入在Amtrak上。
