He is on the rush for news all the time, then after several years he may get a desk job, and life becomes a bit
more settled. Let"s look at his work a little more closely. In a day he may have to interview the prime minister
of a foreign country, and the next day he may be writing about a football match. Sometimes he may be so
busy that he has hardly any time to sleep. And at other times he may go on for days looking out for news
materials yet return empty-handed.
In the beginning, a reporter has to cover a very wide field. After the early years he becomes more
specialized in his work. For example, he may finally be asked to write only on court cases or politics or sports.
Some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing: horse racing,
for example. In most newspaper houses there is at least one special racing correspondent. Some newspapers
have book reviews. Their job is delightful. They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they
like. Then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the
cinema. How lucky, you would say!
A reporter"s job can also be very dangerous. A number of them have died rushing from one assignment to
another, and if there is a flood or a riot (暴乱) they may get hurt or even be killed. Three years ago there was
a reporter whose camera was smashed by a group of men, because they were angry with him for taking their
picture. Dangerous or not, one thing is certain, and that is, their job is never dull!
B. in a hurry
C. on the spot
D. in no time
B. can see more film stars
C. can pay less than other people
D. can write anything they like
B. there is an interview with the prime minister
C. there is a football match
D. he is seeing a horror film
B. strong
C. quick in mind
D. well-informed

Friday"s mudslide (泥石流). The team of dogs arrived in the Philippines from Spain, and this Tuesday they
were just beginning their work. Search officials told CNN they hoped the recent rain would wash away the
smell of rescue teams so the dogs could do their job more accurately. The dogs were brought in after sound
equipment found sounds coming from deep inside the ruins, at a place where a school stood before the
mudslide covered it. The sounds could mean people are still alive under all the mud or it could just be the earth
resettling.
On Monday, rescue workers worked at the school site until three in the morning, trying to locate survivors,
and they will begin digging again as soon as the dogs think they find someone. Human teams from the US,
Malaysia, and Australia are all trying to help, too. But so far they have yet to locate any survivors. Rescue
workers told CNN that an earlier report that 50 survivors had been found was false.
How did all that mud bury the village in the first place? On Friday, 2,400-foot Mt Kanabag turned into a
mudslide after two weeks of constant rain weakened it. The mountain crumbled and the mud fell onto the
village Guinsaugon, burying the 1,800 people who lived there. Out of the 300 houses in the village, only 3
were not covered by the mud. The village is on a southern Philippine Island called Levte. Rescue efforts have
been difficult because the village takes six hours to reach from the nearest airport. Hopefully, the dogs can
help their human friends find survivors.
B. the dogs can follow the smell of rescue teams
C. the dogs can"t smell the rescue teams
D. the dogs can tell the differences between people and rescue teams
B. to introduce the instruments to save victims in a disaster
C. to tell readers that dogs can smell out victims buried in the ruins
D. to show how to train dogs to save victims in a mudslide
B. Only a few.
C. 1,800.
D. None.
B. so many people were buried
C. it was difficult to reach the village
D. these is little chance to save the survivors
what they seem. Some sales and bargains are good deals, but not all are. Here are some pointers to help you
tell the difference between real bargains and bad deals.
Sometimes a product is on sale for "below producer"s cost". Watch out for this kind of "bargain". Why
would anyone want to sell a product for less than it cost to make it? Before buying, you should find out why
it is being sold at a loss to the producer. Is it damaged? Is it out of style? Does it come with any guarantee
(保障)?
Another pointer is to read price tags on sale items carefully. For example, a price tag in a store may say
"regular price $16". The regular price is the price of the item before the sales started and after the sale ends.
The regular price is only for that store, however. In another store, the price could be lower.
A price tag may also say "original (原来的) price $ 16". That means at one time the item sold for $16-even
as much as five years earlier! For example, the original price of pocket calculators was high when they were
introduced. Now the price is much lower. Showing the original price would be misleading.
Finally, be careful how you use cents-off coupons (优惠券). A coupon can save you money only if you
intend to use the item. The price of an item may not be the same at different stores. So use the coupon at the
store with the lowest price. Don"t forget to add any sales tax to the item before you figure out the "cents-off"
price".
B. to warn readers that some sales are not bargains
C. to sell a certain product
D to warn readers not to spend money on bargains
B. A tax adds to the price of an item.
C The regular price is the price before or after a sale.
D. The price of pocket calculators has dropped.
B. it is always a good deal
C. it has no guarantee
D. there may be something wrong with the item
B. For as many items as possible
C. in stores with the lowest prices
D. only at the largest store
B. there might be a sharp drop in quality of the item
C. there might be a sharp change in the style of the item
D. there might be no use of the item now
