beauties of nature. They can also bring things close that are far away. Through photos,people can see wild animals , cities in foreign lands , and even the stars in outer space. Photos also tell stories.
Reporting the news through photos is called photojoumalism. At times photojournalists tell their stories
through a single picture. At other times,they use a group of pictures to tell a story. Each picture is like a
chapter in a book,which can do more than record the facts. It can also be a strong force for social change.
Jacob Riis was among the first photojournalists. He took pictures of parts of New York City where the poor lived. Riis believed that poverty (贫穷) caused crime, and he used photos to help him prove his
point. A few years later,the photos of small children working in factories by Lewis Hine shocked the
public. Hine"s pictures helped bring about laws to protect such children.
Hundreds of pictures may have to be taken in order to get one or two really good photos. It takes
science to have the photo come out clearly and art to make a photo that has a good design and expresses
feeling. Photojournalists make an actual record of what they see. A photo, however,can be both a work of art and an actual record. It can record an important event as a beautiful or exciting picture.
As historical and artistic documents (文献), photos can become more important over time. Today
photojoumalists still have their pictures appear in newspapers and magazines. They also publish (发表)
them in books and on the Internet.

举一反三
Only after a week"s leave-during which he read novels,listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach-was Rudenstine able to return to work.
In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Amazingly, within this world there
is a universal but silly saying, "l am so busy. "
We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and , we imaglne , to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax-this has become the
model of a successful life.
Because we do not rest,we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing us with strength , the quiet giving us wisdom.
How have we allowed this to happen? I believe it is this: we have forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the week-for followers of some religions-for rest and praying. It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is
beautiful. It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks.share meals, walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking
care of the world.
Rest is a spiritual and biological need; however,in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities ,we may feel terrbly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sabbath gives us
permission to stop work. In fact, "Remember the Sabbath" is more than simply permission to rest; it is a
rule to obey and a principle to follow.
B. a warning of danger
C. a sign of age
D. a spread of disease
B. be more talented than other people
C. be more important than anyone else
D. be busy workingwithout time to rest
B. fail to realize that rest is an essential part of life
C. fail to realize that religions force them to rest
D. think that taking a rest means being lazy
B. The Sabbath gives us permission to rest.
C. It is silly for anyone to say "I am so busy."
D. We should be available to our family and friends.
suddenly stopped trying. He left school at 16 with only two scores for secondary school subjects.One
of the reasons that made it cool for him not to care was the power of his peer(同龄人) group.
The lack of right male(男性的 ) role models in many of their lives-at home and particularly in the
school environment(环境) --means that their peers are the only
people they have to judge themselves against.
They don"t see men succeeding in society so it doesn"t occur to them that chey could make something of themselves. Without male teachers as a role model, the effect of peer actions and street culture (文化)
is all-powerful. Boys want to be part of a club. However, schools can provide the environment for change, and provide the right role models for them. Teachers need to be trained to stop thal but not in front of a
child"s peers. You have to do it one to one, because that is when you see the real child.
It"s pointless sending a child home if he or she has done. wrong. They see it as a welcome day off to
watch television or play computer games. Instead, schools should have special unil where a child who has done wrong goes for the day and gets advice about his problems-somewhere he can work away from his peers and go home after the other children.
B. His parents no longer supported him.

thousands of readers with his very first post.
Max Gogarty, 19, had started a blog about his trip to India and Thailand. The idea was
not paiticularly original and. in many people"s view, the writing wasn"t either.Within minutes,
people began to post negative comments:"l"ve been more entertained cleaning mould from
my fridge than I was reading your first post. "
So how did Max land his job? The Guardian"s online community soon reached their own
conclusion :" Great to see nepotism ( 任人唯亲) is alive and well."said one poster.
Max"s father is a travel writer who had previously published work in the Guardian.
Within minutes, one poster had provided a link to an article from 2002 , in which Max"s
dad writes about a trip to Thailand with his family. Many were quick to suppose Max had
used his father"s connections to get his job. By the end of the next day, the criticism was so
heavy that the blog was closed, but the damage had been done.
From Facebook to Wikipedia. social networking and gossip websites all over the
Internet were discussing Max"s case.
Max"s experience highlights the difference between traditional media and the Internet.
As online community specialist DanWilsonwritesinhisblog: " Inthe blogosphere respect
comes from below. Readers have power and opinions that count. You"ve got to be real
and attractive to the people who read you. "
Part of the reason for this is that falsehoods and half-truths canbe exposed(曝光)
immediately online.For example, the Guardian"s travel editor attempted to defend publishing
the story. He said he"d called Max because of his track record and talent. But then one
reader pointed out: " Didn"t you post yesterday sayingMax got in touch with us because
he writes occasionally for the TV program Skins"? Are you a liar?"
What we can learn here is to be careful when we read and write online. Always be
sure to think about why a person might be writing something, and don"t necessarily believe
what we read.
