W: Here is a notice about Thursday's council meeting. It begins at seven in the evening in the assembly hall, not the usual room, because more people are expected. Members of the public may speak for three minutes each, but you must sign up by Monday; nobody can be added on the night. Papers are online from Tuesday. If the meeting runs past ten, the remaining items move to the following month rather than being rushed.這是關於週四地方議會會議的通知。晚上七點在議事廳舉行，不是平常那間，因為預期人數較多。民眾每人可發言三分鐘，但必須在週一前登記；當晚無法追加。相關文件週二起上網。若會議超過十點，剩下的議案將移到下個月，而不是倉促處理。
Q26. Why is the meeting in the assembly hall?會議為什麼在議事廳舉行？
Q27. By when must speakers sign up?發言者最晚何時登記？
Q28. What happens if the meeting runs late?若會議超時會怎樣？
M: A short guide to who does what. Parliament makes the law. The ministry writes the detailed rules under that law and runs the service day to day. The council applies those rules in your town and can add local ones, but only where parliament has allowed it. So if you disagree with a rule, the first question is which of the three made it, because complaining to the wrong body wastes months.簡短說明各單位的分工。議會制定法律。部會依該法律訂定細則，並負責日常運作。地方議會在你的城鎮適用這些規則，也可以增訂地方規定，但僅限於議會授權的範圍。所以若你不同意某項規定，第一個問題是這三者中誰訂的，因為向錯誤的機關申訴會白白浪費好幾個月。
Q29. Who makes the law?誰制定法律？
Q30. What can the council add?地方議會可以增訂什麼？
Q31. Why does it matter who made a rule?為什麼要知道規定是誰訂的？
W: Polls are useful and easy to misread. A poll does not predict an election; it measures opinion on the day it was taken, among the people who answered. If a poll was carried out before a televised debate, it tells you nothing about the effect of that debate. And a lead of two points, in a poll of a thousand people, is smaller than the poll's own margin of error. The number to look at is not the lead but the share who are still undecided.民調有用，也很容易被誤讀。民調不是預測選舉；它測量的是進行當天、在受訪者之中的意見。若民調是在電視辯論前做的，它就完全說明不了那場辯論的效果。而在一千人的民調中，兩個百分點的領先小於該民調本身的誤差範圍。真正該看的數字不是領先幅度，而是仍未決定者的比例。
Q32. What does a poll measure?民調測量什麼？
Q33. What is wrong with a two-point lead?兩個百分點的領先有什麼問題？
Q34. What number should readers look at?讀者該看哪個數字？
| Party | January | March | May |
|---|---|---|---|
| People's Party | 38 | 34 | 31 |
| Reform Party | 19 | 22 | 25 |
| Green Party | 20 | 19 | 18 |
| Undecided | 23 | 25 | 26 |
M: Please look at the printed poll results while I comment on them. Notice that the party leading today has fallen in every poll since January, while the second party has risen in each one. If both continue at the same rate, they will meet before the election in June. The undecided share, however, is larger than the gap between the top two, so any prediction based on these numbers alone is worth very little.我評論時請看印出的民調結果。請注意今天領先的政黨自一月以來每次民調都在下滑，而第二名的政黨每次都在上升。若兩者維持同樣速度，它們會在六月選舉前交會。不過未決定的比例大於前兩名之間的差距，因此僅憑這些數字做的任何預測都沒什麼價值。
Q35. According to the table and the talk, why is a prediction unreliable?根據表格與談話，為什麼預測不可靠？
