解析：[听力原文]
U.S. President Barack Obama has said the time has come for a review on the U.S. immigration system.  He made his case at a high school in Las Vegas, Nevada, a day after a group of senators outlined
a framework for reform. The White House and senators conceive a path to citizenship for many of
an estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants in the U.S. He noted that the current system was
out of date and badly broken. Mr. Obamas case for an immigration reform reflects a blueprint
he rolled out in 2011, though that did not go far. Mr. Obama now backs the Senate plan including making illegal immigrants pay taxes and fines, and sending them to the back of the queue before
they can become American citizens. His 2011 blueprint also focused on a path to permanent residency and eventual citizenship. After eight years, individuals would be allowed to become legal
permanent residents and would eventually become citizens five years later, according to his 2011 blueprint.

Elephants are used to entertain foreign and domestic tourists in Thailand. As visitors prefer
younger animals, the value of a young elephant has soared to around $33,000.
To meet this demand, smugglers in Myanmar capture and tame wild elephants from the countrys
shrinking herds. The young elephants are caught in pit-traps, cruelly beaten to break their spirits  and then smuggled across the border. The Thai authorities have cracked down on this trade with
some success over the past two years, but campaigners believe that criminals are now stocking
up, ready to transport the animals once again, when restrictions end.
Traffic and other campaigners want to see a toughening up of the laws in Thailand. Elephants don
have to be registered there until they are eight years old, creating an opportunity for smuggling.
According to researchers, the extra strain put on by the smuggling of live young elephants could  threaten the long-term survival of the species in Myanmar.
