He meets all types of people and lives quite a busy life. He is on the rush for news all the time, then after several years he may get

12、a desk job, and life becomes a bit more settled. Lets 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

13、 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 sport

14、s. 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 wri

15、te 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 reporters job can also be very dangerous. A number of them have died rushing from one assignment to another, and if there is a flood

16、 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!21. What does the underlined ph

19、ith the prime ministerC. there is a football match D. he is seeing a horror filmB Forests are amazing, and so are the animals that live in them. We enjoy watching TV shows about bears, bats or monkeys. We know a lot about their lives: how they find food or what they do at different times of the year

20、. But what about smaller animals that are more difficult to see or film?Many small animals that live in forests are very important for the soil. A French scientist, Francois Xavier Joly, is studying one of them the millipede(千足虫).The importance of leavesWhen the leaves begin to die in fall, they tur

21、n from green to yellow and fall from the trees. As they decompose on the ground, nutrients(营养物质) are returned to the soil and carbon dioxide to the air. Life in the forest needs these nutrients. Without them, plants could not grow and there would be no food for animals such as the millipede.Food on

22、the forest floorSome living things, like mushrooms, break the leaves into smaller pieces and eat them. In a few months there is nothing left of them. But for mushrooms, not all trees are the same. Mushrooms prefer some types of leaves to others. This means that some leaves take much longer to be bro

23、ken down than others. Sometimes it takes years. So what happens to these? This is where the millipede can help.More on the menuThe millipede also likes leaves and it eats any type. But when it has finished, it produces waste. This waste then becomes the food of mushrooms. When mushrooms eat leaves t

24、hey choose only certain types but when they eat waste, they will eat any kind. This is how the millipede turns dead leaves into food for others and helps life continue.So next time you are walking through a forest, remember that something may be having a meal right under your feet.25.

27、f leaves the millipede will eat.CMost painters discover a style of painting that is fit for them and stick to that, especially if people admire their pictures. But Picasso, the great Spanish painter, was like a man who had not yet found his own particular style of painting. He kept on struggling to

28、find the perfect expression till his death in 1973.Some of Picassos paintings are rich, soft colored and beautiful. Others are ugly and cruel and strange. But such paintings allow us to imagine things for ourselves. They force us to say to ourselves, “What does he see that makes him paint like that?

29、” And we begin to look under the surface of the things we see.Picasso painted thousands of pictures in different styles. Sometimes he painted the natural look of things. Sometimes he seemed to break them apart and throw the pieces in our faces. He showed us what the mind knows as well as what the ey

83、rding to a new study published in the journal of the American Heart Association, watching TV could actually increase your risk of death. The study found that adults who watch three hours or more of television in a day double their risk of earlier death.Watching too much TV is contributing to our inc

84、reasingly less-active lifestyles, says the studys author, Gonzalez. In addition to measuring the risks of watching TV, the researchers also looked at two other sitting-for-long actions: riding in a car and using a computer. Though the study participants doubled their death risk, the same was not tru

85、e of computer use or driving time.There are some conclusions that can be drawn, though. Driving a car, for example, represents a higher energy loss than watching TV, he said. The habits associated with TV watching, like consuming more food and not moving for long period of time, could have something to do with it, too. You should consider increasing your physical activity, avoid sitting for long periods, and reduce television watching to no longer than one hour each day, recommends Gonzalez.
