It would be very exciting to be a reporter on a newspaper. As soon as a reporter’s boss gives him a story to write, the reporter is on the job. He keeps his mind on what he is going to do. He does not begin writing the story until he knows what he should find out. He must know why he should write the story.
At times a reporter must search hard to find all of the facts he needs for a story. The facts may not be right under his nose. To find the facts, he has to recognize important

details. While gathering information for a story, he asks himself questions：Should I use this information? Is this an important fact?
A reporter writes the story as fast as he can, so it can go right away into the newspaper. The story also needs a headline, which tells very quickly what the news story is about and is printed bigger and blacker than the rest of the news story.
Every big newspaper has many reporters，because many stories are needed in the newspaper. Would you like to be one？
25．A reporter writes the story as fast as possible because ________________.
A. he wants it to go into the newspaper quickly

Our environment isn’t as green and beautiful as it should be. There are steel(钢铁) monsters blocking out the sun, blowing out dangerous smoke, and letting out poisonous chemicals into rivers, cars producing harmful waste gas, people throwing out waste in a wrong way and all other kinds of sources that ruin the planet. Facing current environmental problems, people need to do their best to save the earth.
You can see many big garbage dustbins in the streets. They’re not there for a show, but for you to drop your waste. We should realize that what we do does count. So next time you get that urge to throw gum or a chocolate package out of the car window, or “accidentally” drop as you walk down the street, ask yourself how much waste you’ve been contributing to the environment with that bad habit going on for years.
At home, the first thing we can do to protect the environment is avoid letting water run continuously and make sure that taps（水龙头）are not leaky（漏的），which would help greatly in scrimping. Another is to use energy-saving lights, and turn them off before you leave the rooms. It is not only energy-saving, but also cuts down electricity costs.

Recycling is a method to make items reusable. Many things you want to throw out can be made into new products through the reproducing process. Use your imagination to come up with ways on things that you can use again.
Pass the message of simple ways to save the environment on to kids. Starting with kids is a good way of teaching the message early in their lives, in the hope that they can carry it forward as they grow older.
With environmental protection awareness in mind, we can do what we can, for the results are to have a big effect on the planet. As long as we do our part, the world is one small step closer to being saved.
29． In the first paragraph the author uses “steel monsters” to describe________.

D. Your bad habits for the environment are a valuable contribution.
32．The passage is mainly about_____________.
A. the use of garbage dustbins
B. how to save water and electricity
C. how to save the environment
D. our current environmental problems
D
Every country has its heroes.The heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire.If you get a list of the heroes of a nation,it will tell you the potential(潜力) of that nation.
Today in America,if you ask the high school students to list their heroes,their choices would probably fall into three groups.The first group of heroes would be the rock stars—the people connected with rock music.There is no doubt that such people do have talent(才能).But one wonders if one should treat rock stars as a model.The rock stars too often are mixed with drugs and their personal life is not all that good.The rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles.However,one should seek more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.
A second type of hero for the American youth is the sports star.Again you have a person who has a great ability in one area—sports.However,too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of disorder.Too frequently drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star.
A third type of hero is the TV or movie star.This person may have lots of acting
- 10 -
talent and is quite handsome.However,the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model of young people.Today,the rock star,the athlete and the actor all have become the models of the youth in America.Really,do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor,a teacher or a scientist?These people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes.However,they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.
What is really sad is that the young try to imitate(模仿) their heroes.They like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles.If the heroes of today for the American young people are limited only to rock stars,athletes and actors,the future does not look too bright.

Dear Editor,
Recently, our class had a discussion about whether middle school students should listen to MP3 player.
40% of them agree with the idea, saying that as a middle school student, it is fashionable to do so. Besides, you can relax while listening to the music. Thirdly, with the help of MP3 player, we can listen to English and improve our English level. Others, however, hold the opposite idea. Firstly, it has a bad effect on our studies as it takes time. What’s more, listening too much does harm to the hearing. Thirdly, it is a waste of money to buy an MP3 player.
In my opinion, we should make good use of an MP3 player and limit the time for listening if we do want to use it.
Yours,
LiHua
