Even so, viewers are usually warned in advance that they may find some of these scenes disturbing, so they can look away if they choose. But the men and women whose job is to record those scenesthe TV cameramenhave no such choice. It is their duty to witness the horrors of the world and record them, no matter how terrible and unpleasant they may be. Consequently, it is one of the most dangerous, exposed and emotionally taxing jobs the world has to offer.Today, the demand for their work is rising. The explosion of satellite broadcasting and 24-hour news in recent years has created an almost insatiable (贪得无厌的) demand for TV information. But major broadcasters and the TV news agenciessuch as Reuters and WTNhave never had enough staff to meet the worldwide demand for up-to-date pictures, so increasingly they turn to “freelance” TV cameramen.These freelance cameramen are independent operators tied to no particular organization. They will work for any company which hires them, be it for just a few hours or for several weeks in a war zone. But if the freelance cameraman is injured in the course of the job, the TV company is not responsible for him. The freelancer must survive on his own.TV will always need hard, vivid moving pictures which are fresh, but these companies feel uncomfortable with large numbers of employees on their books, explains Nick Growing, once foreign editor for Britain Channel 4 News and now a BBC news presenter.By hiring freelancers, they can buy in the skills they need only when they need them. It also enables them to contract out the risk, he says.51. TV news agencies turn to freelance cameramen in order to . A. save expense and avoid risks B. get free and useful pictures C. get first-hand information and pictures D. satisfy the greed of the freelance cameramen 52. We can infer from the passage that the freelance cameramen . A. have to take a lot of risks in the course of work B. are tied to many TV news agencies C. have better skills than other cameramen D. need to contract out risks of work for TV companies53. According to this passage, some major broadcasters and TV news agencies . A. have employed enough cameramenB. are not willing to employ many cameramen C. are very mean to freelancersC. are responsible for the freelancer if he is injured54. The author of this passage shows his the freelance cameramen. A. sympathy to B. respect for C. anger to D. admiration toBYou have the ability to decide if you are happy or not. Happiness is a choice.You cant depend on someone else to make you happy. That is a lesson I learned early on in my marriage. I realized that I couldnt rely on my husband as my source of happiness. I learned that my happiness depended on me and not my husbands actions. I learned that you have to choose to be happy.You can choose your emotions. True happiness comes from within; it cant be forced by outside forces. So how do you choose happiness? The same way you choose to smile or choose to wear a certain outfit. You choose it because thats what you want to experience in your life.You want to buy a new pair of shoes so you choose a pair that you like and feel good. You wouldnt buy a pair of shoes that you dont like or that dont fit well, right? So why do we keep choosing emotions and feelings that dont make us feel good? Choosing to be happy after you realize your anger has shown up (or even choosing to be calm) can be beneficial. We choose our feelings; no one can do that for us. If we let others get to us, influence our emotions - we are giving them power over us. When others cause us anger or pain, we are giving them our power.We need to keep our feelings in check and not react automatically to what is thrown at us. We need to think our actions out instead of just reacting to what someone says or does. Remember that we can always choose happiness. At first it will be difficult to just switch your thoughts and feelings from anger, self-doubt, or fear to joy and happiness. But it is only a thought away. Dont dwell on what happens to you unnecessarily but realize what is causing you to feel that way. Realize that thoughts, feelings and emotions can change. Then move on and choose to be happy.55Whats the best title of this passage?A. Choose to Be HappyB. Choose Your EmotionsC. Pretend to Be Happy D. Find Happiness56The lesson the writer learned in her marriage is _.A. she can depend on her husband to find happinessB. balancing the relationship between the husband and wife is an artC. one cant rely on someone else to make himself or herself happyD. happiness can be influenced by outside forces57Why did the writer mention buying shoes?A. To use it as an example to show the importance of choosing to be happy.B. To offer advice on how to choose comfortable shoes.C. To compare choosing shoes and choosing an outfit.D. To help to move to the next paragraph easily.58The writer suggests that we should _.A. let others control our feelingsB. respond immediately to others wordsC. pay more attention to words than actionsD. hold back our feelings properlyCIn Canada and the United States, there is a new group of children called “satellite kids”, who live in one place but whose parents live in another place.Asians are immigrating (移民) to Canada and the United States in larger numbers than ever before. Most Asians immigrate because they believe that they can give their children a better education in the West. In Asia, especially in China, Japan, and Korea, it is difficult to go to university. Students must first pass the strict national examination. However, in Canada and the United States, it is easy to go to university, and anyone who wants to go can go. As a result, Asian parents decide to leave their countries so that their children can go to university.The problem is that when Asians arrive, they discover that finding a job and making money are more difficult in the West than in the East. Also, they find that they are very lonely, and that they miss their homes. For these two reasons, most Asian parents decide to go back to work while their children study in the West. Therefore, these children become “satellite kids”, and most of their parents do not know how sad it is to be a “satellite kid”.Only until now are Canadians and Americans discovering the “satellite kid” problem. Because these children do not speak English and because their parents are not there to take care of them, they are often absent from school. To be a “satellite kid” means to grow up in a country where you know you are different and where you cannot make friends because you do not speak English well. Also, it means to grow up lonely, because your parents are elsewhere. What these “satellite kids” will probably say to their parents is that its better to have parents around than to have a university education.59. Some Asian parents send their kids abroad because _.A. they hope their children may easily find a job thereB. all foreign universities are better than the ones in their own countriesC. the kids may not be accepted by universities in their own countriesD. the kids want to improve their English and make foreign friends60. “Satellite kids” refer to Asian kids _.A. without parents B. speaking no English C. with university education D. living abroad alone61. Some Asian immigrant children become “satellite kids” because their parents _.A. want to leave their own country B. want them to go to universityC. return to their countries to work D. want them to be independent62. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Parents want better education for their kids.B. Parents feel lonely and miss their families.C. Kids in foreign countries alone are badly in need of care from family.D. Canadians and Americans begin to notice the “satellite kids” problem.D . After Mom died, l began visiting Dad every morning before I went to work. He was frail and moved slowly, but he always had a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice on the kitchen table for me, along with an unsigned note reading, Drink your juice. Such a gesture, l knew, was as far as Dad had ever been able to go in expressing his love. In fact, l remember, as a kid I had questioned Mom Why doesnt Dad love me? Mom frowned, Who said he doesnt love you? Well, he never tells me, I complained. He never tells me either, she said, smiling. But look how hard he works to take care of us, to buy us food and clothes, and to pay for this house. Thats how your father tells us he loves us. I nodded slowly. I understood in my head, but not in my heart. l still wanted my father to put his arms around me and tell me he loved me. Dad owned and operated a small scrap (片) metal business, and after school I often hung around while he worked. Dad handled scrap steel into a device that chopped it as cleanly as a butcher chops a rack of ribs. The machine looked like a giant pair of scissors, with blades thicker than my fathers body. If he didnt feed those terrifying blades just right, he r
