Midas was eager to put his newly gained power to the test. He pulled a branch from a tree. The branch became gold in his hand. He picked up a stone; it turned to gold. He touched the grass, it, too, turned to gold.
Midas was overjoyed. Returning home, he ordered his servants to prepare a magnificent meal. But when he picked up some bread, it turned to gold. He lifted a glass of wine to his lips. But before he could taste it, it turned to gold.
Midas wished to free himself of his power. He hated the gift he had so recently hoped for. He raised his arms and begged and prayed for Bacchus to take away his deadly gift.
Bacchus showed pity. “Go,” he said. “to the River Pactolus. There dip yourself in. Wash away your greed and its punishment. ”Midas did so. Hardly had he touched the waters, before the gold-making powers passed into them. The river sands changed into gold. And they remain golden to this day.

The same thing 6 when I took Elsa’s sisters to Nairobi to be flown to the Rotterdam zoo, Elsa’s zoo. Elsa stayed behind with George in Isiolo 180 miles 7 . He did not know when I was coming back, no person knew. But Elsa knew. On the morning of my 8 she sat down at the entrance and wouldn’t make any 9 until I arrived in the evening.
I have known this kind of thought-communication with the animal with whom I’ve lived. When Elsa died, I woke in the night, knowing what had happened, even though I was several miles away. The same thing 10 later with one of Pippa’s cubs.
I don’t 11 this sensitivity with my own kind. Feel far more in tune with what is going on when I am in the bush than when I am in London on Nairobi. We don’t know much yet about this telepathy from which gland(腺体) it comes, or how it 12 . But if men could awaken or 13 it in themselves, and then cooperate by trusting each other, 14 fearing and treating one another 15 , the world would be a far better place.

It had nice handles, which made it 25 to move around. I was pleased with everything and began to 26 I was a natural at this job.
Then, an old man came to me and said, “Excuse me, dear, my wife and I loved 27 you work. It seems your tray stand has been very 28 to you, but we are getting ready to 29 now, and my wife needs her 30 back.”

“You should have brought trousers to sell. In the goldfields we need strong trousers that don‘t wear out,”one young miner advised Strauss.

In fact, I never really felt like an intern. I was given the opportunity to do the work that everyone else at the paper was doing. I covered stories on my own and wrote the articles myself. I was included in discussions for story ideas. I helped to edit the articles that went into the paper. I was able to take part in every aspect of the newspaper that I wanted to experience.
The best part of working at the Nation’s Health was the staff. They were supportive in letting me go out and do things on my own, while I always knew that they would be more than happy to answer any questions or help me with any problems I might have. Best of all, they treated me as their equal, not just an intern whom they could get to do all the work they didn’t want to do.
After interning at the Nation’s Health for nearly seven months and having more than 30 articles published, I had to move on. My experience there gave me insight into how the media work, which helps me when I’m trying to choose stories. In addition, it showed me that work really can be fun.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.How good reporting begins with journalism interns. |
B.The author’s opportunity to work at the Nation’s Health. |
C.The author’s experience working as an intern |
D.The author’s first day as a professional reporter. |
A.The employees treated her as one of them equally. |
B.The opportunity to work alone. |
C.Covering stories and writing articles |
D.Coming up with story ideas for the newspaper. |
A.go to as many places as possible |
B.do the boring things that others didn’t want to do |
C.treat people equally, no matter who they were. |
