have reporters They interview people and their interviews are filmed The news editor decides which pieces of film to use in the television news every evening Radio interviews are tape recorded An important source of world news for the broadcasting media is news agencies There are several worldwide news agencies which employ correspondents in different places all over the world to make reports

made it possible for them to travel to town very often for business and for pleasure and also to transport their children to distant schools Family life has been affected in various ways The car helps to keep families together when it is used for picnics outings and other shared experiences However when teenage children have the use of the car their parents can t keep an eye on them There is a great danger if the driver has been drinking alcohol or taking drugs or is showing off by speeding or breaking other traffic laws Mothers of victims 受害者 of such accidents have formed an organization called MADD Mothers Against Drunk Driving These women want to prevent further tragedies 悲剧 They have worked to encourage the government to limit the youngest drinking age Students have formed a similar organization SADD Students Against Drunk Driving and are spreading the same message among their friends For many Americans the automobile is a necessity But for some it is also a mark of

or two apples could contain 90 or more of the pesticide in the batch It used mathematical modeling to measure exposure 暴露 to pesticides for children aged between 18 months and four years old The
