From my first day, I was attending press conferences and other media events all over town. I got to attend events at places I had never thought I’d get to: the White House, the Senate and House of Representative buildings at the Capitol (国会大厦), the Department of Health and Human Services, just to name a few. And I was sent to cover these events as if I were a reporter, not just an intern (实习生) . 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. | 小题2:What impressed the author most when working at the Nation’s Health?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. | 小题3:We can infer that the author had thought an intern would be made to ____.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. | D.get help from a professional reporter | 小题4:What did the author think of her experience of working at the Notion’s Health?A.Meaningful | B.Disappointing | C.Tiring | D. Surprising |

English was always my favorite subject. In my freshman year of high school, I could write a killer composition. In my second year, my 36 allowed me to give spelling tests to the class. I had wonderful 37 of my junior year. Mrs. Alexander 38 me to sit at her desk and take over the class when she had to leave the room. Only my senior English class was 39 , as we had a teacher right out of college who expected college-level work. Every student received a “C” or “D” grade the first quarter. 40 English was still my subject. I graduated from high school, 41 early and had children. Confident about my English, I often helped my kids with their English homework. And I 42 long articles and beautiful poetry as a columnist for a newspaper. Fifteen years later, I went to college, and because I had been an "A" student, I remained an ‘‘A” student. I 43 up to my own expectations. Yesterday, I 44 my high school report cards when I was reading old papers. That bundle of report cards 45 back the old days. I remembered sitting in my advisor"s office,explaining that I had always excelled at English, and 46 that I did not deserve a “D” from that 47 teacher of my senior year. The advisor was sympathetic but unable to change a (an) 48 Reading 49 my old report cards revealed something else too. I wanted to tore them or hide them. I was not an ‘‘A” student in high school English!Somehow, I had 50 myself of this,when the grades clearly reflected an 51 student with an occasional “ A ” or ‘‘ B” but mostly “C” s. Had I lived up to those grades and 52 myself according to those letters,I would have never confidently sought my writing 53 . Had I believed in my early grades instead of myself,I would have allowed my fear of 54 to defeat my enthusiasm and damage my creativity. 55 ,I viewed my younger self as an “A” English student, except for that undeserved “D”.

One day I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was expecting a quiet 36 of the splendid artwork.

More than you and I do,” the clerk said. “His wife 52 each painting so he can see it in his head.” I learned something about patience, 53 and love that day.

And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away, their arms intertwined.

I was at the post office early that morning, hoping to be in and out in a short while.Yet, I 36 myself standing in a queue that went all the way into the hallway.I had never seen so many people there on a weekday.It seemed someone might have made an announcement, welcoming customers to carry as many 37 as they could and bring them in when I needed to have my own package 38 .The queue moved very slowly.My patience ran out and I got 39 .The longer it took, the angrier I became.When I got to the counter finally, I finished my 40 quickly and briefly, and then walked past the queue that was now extending past the front door. "Excuse me," I said, trying not to be too pushy.Several people had to move 41 to make room for me to get to the 42 .

I continued to smile all the way to my _52 .Wow, it"s amazing what a simple smile can do.

Edgar felt quite excited at the thought of his first swim of the summer. With the sun shining down so strongly, the sea was certain to be warm enough. He walked quickly along the sea-front towards the steps that led on to the sands. He smiled cheerfully at the passersby. He had just smiled and raised his hat to an elderly lady when a man with a camera caught his arm and stopped him. Edgar heard a little buzzing noise from the camera. “Your photograph, sir, in glorious colour in just one moment if you please,” said the man in one breath. Then the buzzing stopped, and he held the photograph in his hand and was waving it to and fro. In a moment he handed it over, and Edgar saw the bright blue splash of his shirt half filling the picture. “Seventy pence, sir,” the man said. “It’s the bargain of your holiday.” “Seventy pence,” Edgar repeated, mildly. “For this?” He stared at the photographer. “They’re normally eighty-five, sir, but for a single subject I make a cut-price offer. It’s the best value you’ll get in Chadwell.” “You’ll have to make a better offer,” Edgar said. It was a good photo though, he thought, so bright and clear. His hat was held high, and he was smiling broadly at the old lady, whose arm and handbag came into a lower corner. He had had no idea that he was being snapped. He thought he was really quite a good-looking chap. “That’s as good as any studio job that would cost you pounds,” said the cameraman. “It’s better in a way because it’s so natural. Only seventy pence, sir.” “I’ve never paid so much for a snap in my life. It simply isn’t worth that kind of money. It’s not as if I need the thing. Look, I’ll give you twenty-five.” “No, I can’t do that. Each of these instant colour shots costs me 50p — that’s the price of the blank frame, so you see…” “Criminal, criminal,” Edgar broke in. “You want a profit of forty per cent. Well, not at my expense, I’m afraid. I’ll give you your 50p and that’s that.” “Let me see, then.” The man suddenly took the photograph out of Edgar’s hand. “I can’t waste any more time with you. It’s 70p or I keep it.” “Keep it,” Edgar said. He turned, looked out to the sea, and then walked quickly away. 小题1:Why do you suppose Edgar was in Chadwell?A.It was his hometown. | B.He was there on holiday. | C.He was in the making of a film. | D.He was there to have his photograph taken. | 小题2:Edgar smiled at and raised his hat to the lady because ________.A.he thought he recognized her | B.he wanted the photograph to be amusing | C.she was having her photograph taken | D.he was feeling excited and cheerful | 小题3: The photographer lowered his price to 70p because __________.A.Edgar wanted to bargain for the photo | B.Edgar couldn’t afford to pay the normal price | C.Edgar was the only person in the photo | D.there was only one copy of the photo | 小题4:What did Edgar think of the photo?A.He thought it made him look like a criminal. | B.He liked it but thought it was too dear. | C.It annoyed him because he hadn’t expected it. | D.He thought it was a bargain at the price. | 小题5:We can infer from the passage that _______ .A.Edgar was an indifferent but good-looking man | B.Edgar smiled at the photographer because he was being photographed | C.the photographer was actually a criminal | D.Edgar didn’t buy the snap at length. |
