Ten Second Trivia. Who is the chief justice of the United States: John Roberts, Mike Pompeo, William Barr or Neil Gorsuch? The chief justice, who’s also the chief judge of the U.S. Supreme Court is John Roberts.

10秒快速问答。美国首席大法官是谁:约翰·罗伯茨、迈克·蓬佩奥、威廉·巴尔还是尼尔·戈萨奇?首席法官，同时也是美国最高法院的首席法官是约翰·罗伯茨。

That’s a question from the civics part of the U.S. Naturalization Test, the test that someone born outside the United States takes to become a citizen.

这是美国入籍考试公民部分的一个问题，在美国以外出生的人要通过入籍考试才能成为美国公民。

The exam has a total of 100 questions, but only 10 of those are asked to people applying for U.S. citizenship, and they have to get at least six of the answers right.

该考试共有100道题，但其中只有10道是针对申请美国国籍的人，而且他们必须答对至少6道题。

A new law was just passed in the State of Indiana that requires all high school students there to take the Naturalization Test as part of their civics studies. They don’t have to pass the test to graduate. They just have to take it. Those who support the law say they’re concerned that many American high school students wouldn’t be able to pass the test.

印第安纳州刚刚通过了一项新法律，作为公民学学习的一部分，要求该州所有高中学生参加入籍考试。他们不需要通过考试就能毕业，所以只能接受。支持这项法律的人表示，他们担心许多美国高中生无法通过考试。

So they’re hoping that requiring them to take it will help solve that. Those who oppose the law say it’s not necessary since students are already learning this information through their civics, history and social studies classes. The law’s set to take effect next school year. Several other states have a similar requirement in place.

所以他们希望能帮助解决这个问题。那些反对这项法律的人表示，没有必要，因为学生们已经通过公民、历史和社会研究课程学习了这些信息。这项法律将于下个学年生效。其他几个州也有类似的要求。
