One of the political issues that is heard a lot about in the States lately is campaign(竞选)finance reform. The people who are 76 for reform usually want the government to pay for campaigns or limit the amount of money that candidates and their 77 can spend.
One reason that reform is called for is that it costs so much to compete for political office. Candidates have to spend a great deal of time and effort 78 money. The incum-bents (those already in office) have less time to do chief jobs since they must 79 so many money raising events. Another reason is the fear that candidates will be owned or con-trolled by the "special interest groups" that give money to their campaigns. Sometimes this certainly seems to be the 80 .

If one person or a group of people want to tell the 83 what they think about an issue or candidate,they have to buy 84 on TV,radio,and in newspapers and magazines. They might want to put up advertisements along highways and on websites. All this costs a lot of 85

【参考译文】
最近听得比较多的热门政治事件之一就是关于竞选资金改革的问题。呼吁改革的人往往想让政府来负担竞选的费用或者限制候选人及其支持者所花的费用。
呼吁改革的原因之一是竞选政府职位花费庞大。候选人需要花上很多时间与精力来筹集资金。政府工作人员因为有大量的筹集资金的活动而无暇顾及他们自己的本职工作。另一个原因是因为害怕候选人会受到赞助竞选的某些特别利益集团的控制。有时候事实正是如此。
而有些人却持相反的意见,他们认为改革不一定全都是好事情。如果政府能限制人们对外界进行宣传,那么言论自由权就变得名存实亡,毫无意义了。
如果某个人或某个组织想对公众发表对某个事件或者候选人的看法,他们就必须在电视、广播、报纸和杂志上购买广告。他们也可以在高速公路上或者网络上发布广告。这些都需要花费大量的金钱。
