听力原文: The White House on Wednesday is expected to project a U.S. budget deficit for this year of just over $ 200 billion, down from prior estimates because of strong tax receipts, Republican sources said. A deficit for fiscal 2007 in that range would mark a decline from the $ 248 billion gap recorded last year. When President George W. Bush sent Congress his annual budget in February, he forecast that this year' s deficit would decrease only slightly to $ 244 billion. But robust tax collections this spring, bolstered by bigger paychecks for individuals and capital gains from a strong stock market, has brought down deficits faster than anticipated, even as the Iraq war has contributed to hefty spending increases in recent years.

A.S. B. C. D. What E.Over F. B.$ G. C.$ H. D.Not
