    WASHINGTON, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. House of Representatives passed a 459.6 billion-U.S. dollar defense budget early Sunday for the 2008 fiscal year beginning Oct. 1.

Bush, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) and Congressional Republican leadership at the White House in Washington, August 1, 2007.(Xinhua/Reuters Photo)
        The budget, passed on a 395-13 vote, was slightly short of the 463.1 billion dollars requested by the White House early this year, but was nearly 40 billion dollars more than the current level.
        The budget includes more money for equipment for the National Guard and Reserve, and 6 billion dollars to add 12,000 soldiers to the Army and the Marine Corps.
        It would also increase spending for defense health care and military housing, and provide about 2.2 billion dollars for a 3.5-percent pay rise for military personnel.
        The budget would allocate money for major weapons programs such as F-22 combat planes, the Joint Strike Fighter, and the controversial V-22 aircraft, and provide about 8.5 billion dollars for the missile defense program, about 883 million dollars short of President George W. Bush's request but nearly 1 billion dollars more than the current spending.
        The defense measure contains a provision barring the establishment of permanent bases in Iraq, but does not provide funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
        Democrats have planned a debate on the money in separate legislation in September, after the August recess.

            听力和书面表达通常是我们学生的弱项,希望大家在英语朗读的方法下,并结合实际情况安排练习,不要一味模仿别人,要在练习过程中及时总结经验,包括时间安排等,让自己的考研英语水平得到一个很大的提升!
