worst partmom is usually home on sunday but this week she was going to a big golf game and i was all alone in the house. i was mad at mom for divorcing(离婚) dad.i kept looking at the telephone until i couldnt stand it any longer. i picked up the receiver and dialed dads number over in bakersfield. i even remembered to dial 1 first because it was long distance. “you promised to phone me this week but you didnt,” i said, feeling i had to talk to him.“take it easy, kid,” he said. “i just didnt get around to it. i was going to call this evening. the week isnt over yet.”i thought about that.“something on your mind?” he asked.“i hoped you would call, so i waited and waited.” then i was sorry i said it.“there was heavy snow in the morning,” he said, “i had to chain up on highway 80 and lost time.”i know putting chains on eight big wheels in the snow is no funi felt a little better, as long as we were talking. “how is bandit?” i asked.there was a funny silence. for a minute i thought the line was dead. then i knew something must have happened to my dog.“well, kid”, he began. “my name is leigh!” i almost yelled. “im not just some kid you met on the street!”“keep your shirt on, leigh,” he said. “when i had to stop along with some other truckers to put on chains, i left bandit out of the cab, i thought he would get back i have sent out a call to cb radio, but i didnt get an answer yet.” i was about to say i understood when there came the bad part, the really bad part. i heard a boys voice say, “hey, bill, mom wants to know when were going out to get the pizza?”51from the story we know that _aleighs dad lived in another city bleighs dad never had a rest on sundayscleighs mom wouldnt come backdleighs mom used to go to golf games52what happened to bandit?ait was stolen bit was lostcit was killed by a truck dit was hidden by someone53the underlined sentence “keep your shirt on” probably means “_ ”akeep warmbstop talkingcput on your shirtdcalm yourself down54the worst part in leighs eyes may be that _ahis dad didnt call him bhis mom didnt take him to the gamechis dad got remarrieddhis parents got divorcedbso you want to start covering stories as a reporter, maybe as a student working on a school paper or as a netizen journalist writing for a website or blog. but how do you decide what is newsworthy?conflictif you look closely at the stories that make news in any given day, chances are that most of them will have some element of conflict. conflict is newsworthy because as human beings were naturally interested in conflict. think of any book youve ever read or movie youve ever watchedthey all had some type of conflict. without conflict, there would be no literature or drama.loss of lifetheres an old saying in the news business: if it bleeds, it leads. it means any story involving loss of human life will be newsworthy. many stories have both losses of life and property destruction, say, a house fire. obviously loss of human life is more important than property destruction, so write the story that way.proximity (亲近)proximity has to do with how close an event is geographically to your readers or viewers. a house fire with several people injured might be big news in your hometown newspaper, but maybe no one will care in the next town.timelinesswe tend to focus on whats happening this day, this hour and this minute. so events that are happening now are often more newsworthy than those that happened, say, a week ago. another factor that relates to timeliness is currency. this involves stories that may not have just happened but instead have an ongoing interest to your audience.novelty happenings different from the normal, expected course of events is something novel, and thus newsworthy.not only is it necessary to know how to choose what to write, but it is also important to have a good knowledge of skills of writing a good news article.55. the purpose of writing the passage is .a. to show the influence of newsb. to teach how to write an articlec. to explain what makes newsd. to tell why news interests readers56. considering timeliness, which news is the most suitable? a. an explosion led to ten deaths. b. a city sports meeting is being held today.c. the army threatened to take over the government. d. one former classmate has been selected for the national team.57. “when a dog bites a man, no one cares. when the man bites backnow thats a news story.” shows that .a. loss of human life attracts attentionb. proximity is an important factor of newsc. news focus on whats happening now d. novelty matters much in news58. what will probably be discussed in the next paragraph?a. importance of writing skills. b. skills of writing news articles.c. examples showing novelty of news.d. more aspects making an article newsworthy.ca recent survey shows 33 percent of young women in beijing think they are sexy, compared to only 24 percent in shanghai and 15 percent in guangzhou. the british advertising agency bartle bogle hegarty (bbh) and consumer research company jigsaw international researched 1,000 women between the ages of 15 and 35 in beijing, shanghai and guangzhou for the “china whispers” survey. but not everyone agreed with the results. “to me, shanghai women are sexier than beijing women,” said ying yan, a 30-year-old woman who has lived in both cities. “more beijing women think they are sexy because theyre more confident about saying so. shanghai women are shyer about saying such things.”only 37 percent of the young females said they would never consider going under the knife for plastic surgery(整容手术). and the popular and hot battle to drop a dress size seems to be universal, with 42 percent having tried to lose weight in the past three months. the surveys goal was to know the lifestyles, attitudes and pop culture preferences of young female people in major cities. the results also showed that young female chinese shoppers appear very rich, with 52 percent saying they have spent more than 1,000 yuan on a single item of clothing recently. young female people seem to have increasingly been caring for their diets, with 67 percent ready to buy organic (有机的)food, even if it means paying 25 percent more, reflecting an eager sense of the connection between food safety and personal health. the young females favorite foreign dishes and food were japanese, followed by korean. 59. why 33% beijing women think they are sexy according to ying yan?a. because they often do exercises.b. because they have more organic food.c. because they are sexy in fact.d. because they are more confident. 60. from the last paragraph we can know _.a. young chinese females enjoy korean food mostb. young chinese females pay much attention to their health c. most chinese females get much money in their workd. most chinese females think little of plastic surgery61. which of the following is not mentioned about young chinese females concern?a. what to put on. b. how to lose weight. c. what they eat. d. where they live.62. the passage is likely to be selected from .a. a popular magazine. b. an official report.c. a guide book. d.a travel journal.dthe message was brief. i read it twice: “hey, mum, can i come see you guys this weekend?”i wrote back: “yippee!” then i called the boy to get the plan. he said he hoped to make it in time for dinner.“no hurry,” i said. “drive safe.”i made a quick run to the market, put sheets on the guest bed and set the tv to record the warriors game, so if traffic was awful, he wouldnt have to miss the first half.then i got down to business, cooking, cleaning, watching the clock and listening for his footsteps coming up the walk.its called waiting. im good at it. ive had a lot of practice. ive been waiting for that boy in one way or another all of his life.when he was a newborn, id wait for him to fall asleep so i could do something like eating or doing laundry or brushing my teeth. but pretty soon, id start to miss him. then id stand by his crib waiting for him to wake up.i waited, watching in awe (惊叹), as he took his sweet time learning to do things like walking and talking and feeding himself; tying his shoes and combing his curls; throwing a ball, riding a bike and reading a book. i waited for him to start preschool, kindergarten, primary school and middle school.i waited with scare for him to start driving. and i waited up every time he came home late.next thing i knew, he was off at college and all the time id spent waiting for him didnt seem like much time at all.so it goes with being a mother. we wait for our children to grow up-to learn to manage just fine on their own without us. and then, sooner or later, they do.that doesnt mean the waiting game is over. it never really ends.mothers wait for all sorts of reasons-good news or bad, happiness or heartache or just a little peace of mind. but the waiting is soon forgotten, usually, the minute a long-awaited child walks through the door.my boy will be here soon. but if hes late, i can wait. im good at it. and hes worth it. i will always leave a light on for him.63. after the authors son called to say he would come, she did all the following activities except .a. going shopping b. doing cleaningc. preparing for dinnerd. watching the game64. what can we learn from the passage? a. when her son went to college, her waiting ended. b. luckily, her son never made her wait too long.c. waiting for her son is quite boring but once he arrives in time, she forgets about it. d. she has experienced many different feelings while waiti
