Reporters collect information and write news stories. These stories appear in newspapers and magazines. Some reporters appear on television and radio. To get information, reporters should look at documents, observe the scene and interview people.
To get the latest news, radio and television reporters often reporter “l(fā)ive” from the scene.
Some reporters work long hours. They might work strange schedules. At morning newspapers, reporters might work from late afternoon until midnight. At evening or afternoon papers, they may work from early morning until afternoon. Radio and television reporters work during the day or in the evening. Magazine reporters generally work during the day. Reporters may have to change their work hours to follow a story.
If someone wants to be a reporter, a bachelor’s degree(學(xué)士學(xué)位) in journalism(新聞工作) is preferred. Some employers like graduates with other majors(專業(yè)). Working at school newspapers or broadcasting stations is good experience. Internship(實習(xí)生身份) with news organizations also help when looking for a job as a reporter.

One year, my school report made my parents angry. On Christmas Eve, all the presents were stolen, along with our TV. My parents told me that there were no presents because Santa was very angry with my behavior over the past year. The next year on Christmas Eve I slept downstairs with a plastic sword waiting for Santa to make sure that he didn't steal the new TV. The next morning, when I woke up, I saw Santa standing there. As soon as I saw that there were no presents, I grabbed my plastic sword and ran at him, shouting angrily: "THIEF! THIEF!"
Jack
When I was young, we always had a specific room for the Christmas tree. My mom never really liked the location, so one year she moved the tree into another room. I was convinced that Santa would not know where the tree was and would get lost in our house. I was worried that he would be mad and put me on the "bad" list and would not give me any gifts because he couldn't find the tree. I came up with the idea to make signs leading from the fireplace to the tree. They said things like: "Tree this way" or "Santa, put the gifts over here." When my big brother saw them he began to laugh his head off.
Lucy
Does everyone remember going to the mall and sitting on Santa’s lap to have his picture taken at Christmas time?
Well, I used to think that if I did that, Santa would get mad bcause he would have to go all around the world and give every kid the chance to have his picture taken with him. Of course his lap would hurt and he would be very fired. I thought he might keep a copy of the picture and that would be how he decided who would be on his naughty list.
My mom couldn't get me onto Santa's lap until she made him promise I wouldn't end up on his naughty list.
Lydia
小題1:The real reason why Jack's TV was taken away is that ______________.
A．his parents were too careless
B．his parents thought he had watched too much TV
C．Santa Claus was not satisfied with Jack’s behavior
D．Santa gave the TV to another child as a present
小題2:Which of the following is NOT one of the reasons why Lucy didn't want the tree to be moved?
A．Santa would not know where the tree was.
B．Santa would be angry and would not give her any gifts.
C．Her big brother might laugh at her.
D．Santa might think she was a "bad" child.
小題3:We can learn from the third story that _______________.
A．Lydia’s mother was very Strict with her
B．Lydia believed in Santa when she was young
C．Lydia was naughty when she was young
D．Lydia liked taking pictures with Santa
小題4:Why didn't Lydia want to take pictures with Santa?
A．She was afraid that Santa would get mad with her.
B．She was afraid that Santa would get too tired and hurt himself.

D．She feared that she would appear in the Santa's naughty list.

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺點). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark(標記) the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could — and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused(拒絕) to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.
小題1:What does “Week by week her list grew” mean in the first paragraph?
A．As time went by, she discovered more shortcomings of mine.
B．She made a longer list of my shortcomings the next week.
C．She more and more disliked me as time went by.
D．She added one more shortcoming on the list every week.
小題2:What did the father ask her daughter to do when she complained(抱怨) about her “enemy”?
A．To pay no attention to her “enemy’s” gossiping.
B．To keep away from her “enemy” at school.
C．To write down what the girl said and accept the truth.
D．To do whatever she wanted to as usual.
小題3:Why did her father refuse to take the list her daughter made?
A．Because he wanted her daughter to perfect herself.
B．Because what the list said were not his shortcomings.
C．Because he thought the list didn’t belong to him.
D．Because he believed the list could be well kept by her.
小題4:Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
A．Not an Enemy, But a Good Friend B．The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
C．My Father and I D．My Childhood

Sitting in the play area of the doctor’s office, my children, Paul, four, and Bailey, three, built a Lego tower while we waited to be called for Paul’s examination.
“Good job, you guys,”I said, trying not to sound too tired. My husband was away on business, and it was difficult being alone with the kids. At times I felt like I was living in the jungle(叢林) rather than the suburbs.
“Don’t put the Lego in your mouth, Bailey,”I said. Paul grabbed(抓取) it from him.“That’s not nice, Paul,”I said. He gave back the Lego. I looked around the waiting room. A woman was eating something, a couple were talking, and an old gentleman in a blue jacket was reading a magazine. I wished I could sit quietly for a while. I wanted to be able to take a rest, or go shopping alone. At once, I was ashamed of myself. What kind of mother was I? “God,”I thought, “help me to be the very best mom I can be.”
The nurse came into the waiting room to get us. Just at that moment, the old gentleman in the waiting room put down his magazine and came up to me. With a smile on his face, he said, “Your children are most certainly lucky to have such a wonderful mother.”“Thank you,”I replied in a low voice and watched him walk back to his seat. We followed the nurse into the examination room. While she weighed Paul, I told her how that man had made my day.
Motherhood is still a jungle sometimes, but now when I feel tired I remember the encouraging words of the old gentleman.
小題1:The writer went to the doctor’s office because       .
A．one of her children liked to play there

D．she wanted to have all her children examined

C．made trouble in the waiting room
D．didn’t follow her advice
小題4:What can we learn from the passage?

Farmers and gardeners have long used greenhouses to extend the growing season in cold weather. Now, hoop houses are gaining popularity. Some hoop houses are rounded; others are shaped more like a traditional house.
A hoop house is basically a metal frame covered with plastic or other all-weather material. A common design looks like a high tunnel. Unlike a greenhouse, which uses a heating system, a hoop house is heated by the warmth of the sun.
Now, the United States Department of Agriculture has announced a program to help farmers who want to build hoop houses. The department has been supporting a project in Michigan. That state has a short growing season. As part of the research project, nine farmers were given materials and trained how to build and use a hoop house. The results showed that well-managed hoop houses can grow high-quality crops.
However, crops are not the only things that grow well. The research found that weeds grow faster in a hoop house. Weeding (除草), seeding and watering requires at least as much work as crops grown in the open air. The researchers also advise growers to add compost（堆肥） material to the soil in hoop houses to build nutrients.
Eliot Coleman is an organic farmer and a writer in Maine who has helped popularize the idea of four-season farming. His ideas about hoop houses sounded good to John Biernbaum in the Horticulture（園藝）Department at Michigan State University.
Professor Biernbaum tried hoop houses on the Student Organic Farm at Michigan State and had success. Project director David Conner says it was a "test drive（試車）" for the research on private farms. The agricultural economist points to the demand for locally grown crops. "People are hungry for good, fresh vegetables," he says.

To see the world is one thing; to have someone to share it with is another. Indeed, travel becomes more interesting when you have a travel partner. A travel partner can be a close friend, a family member, a pal you’ve met online, or a business friend.
You can have someone to talk to
Traveling alone is fun, but wouldn’t you feel lonely? Having a travel partner can remove the feeling of loneliness. This is especially true if you can get a travel companion who is very familiar with the place you’re traveling to. You don’t have to ask any information from the locals, and you can increase the time you spend in the country.
                           
One of the major headaches in traveling is the costs involved. You can’t simply ignore the rising price of hotels or plane tickets. You should also think about your daily needs, such as your food. Of course, you can’t simply go back without bringing any souvenirs (紀念品) to your friends and family. All these can ruin your budget. However, when you have a travel friend, you can have someone to share the expenses with.
You can meet a good friend
Having a travel mate is a good way of meeting a new friend or even a lifelong partner. You can never count the number of couples who actually found their way into each other’s heart while traveling together in another country.
You can have someone to watch out for you
When you’re in a foreign land, you’ll never be really safe. You don’t know the rules as well as the culture of the people. A travel will be perfect to remind you of your duties in the country and to watch your back just in case you get lost. So why don’t you find a travel companion now!
Let’s find out how…
小題1:What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A．To introduce a travel company.
B．To encourage us to have a travel partner.
C．To explain how to be a perfect travel partner.
D．To tell an interesting experience with a travel partner.
小題2:What’s the best title for the 3rd paragraph?
A．You can have someone to share the expenses with
B．You can know the local culture well
C．You can enjoy food with your partner
D．You can save money by bargaining together
小題3:Which of the following statements agrees with the author’s opinion?
A．Traveling alone is not fun.
B．Buying souvenirs isn’t necessary.
C．Many people fall in love when traveling.
D．It’s better to choose a stranger as a travel partner.
小題4:Which of the following things is NOT mentioned?
A．A travel partner can help you take care of your child.
B．A travel partner can help get rid of loneliness.
C．A travel partner can help you save money.
D．A travel partner can make you safer.
