听力文稿 ( Transcript )
1. NFL star Michael Vick has filed his plea agreement with a federal court. In it he admits to being involved in a dogfighting ring but denies gambling on individual fights. He's due to appear in court Monday and prosecutors are set to recommend he get a sentence on the low end of the federal guideline of 12 to 18 months.

2. A judge has sentenced the convicted sex offender John Couey to death in the kidnapping, rape and murder of nine-year-old Jessica Lunsford. Lunsford's dad was in the courtroom and he teared up as he listened to the judge detail the case's history.

3. An Army general is warning pulling some troops out of Iraq by Christmas will erase any recent gains US forces have made in Iraq. Yesterday, Republican Senator John Warner called on the president to pull out some forces to signal to Iraqis that the US commitment isn't open-ended.

4. Residents in northwest Ohio are busy mopping up as floodwaters there continue to recede. Some are getting a first look at what the waters did to their homes and possessions, with many saying there is little left to salvage.
