Hello everyone! My name is George Smith and I’ve been a journalist (新闻记者) for 30 years. Yes that’s a
long time, isn’t it? I’m going to talk to you today about choosing journalism as a career.
I always wanted to be a journalist. I started a newspaper at school and worked on a student newspaper at
university. I got a job as a journalist as soon as I finished university and I love my job till today.
Journalism is not for everyone. How can one be a good journalist?
You need to write well. You need to write in a way that is interesting to your audience. As a journalist, you will
have to write for different audiences, so you need to be able lo change your style as well.
Journalists work very hard. It doesn’t matter if you are abroad, writing about a war or at home writing about
local news. Journalists work long days and it can be very hard to find time to have a holiday.
You also need to be strong. What do I mean by that? Well, not everyone will like what you write. Sometimes
people will say bad words about your work. You can’t be angry with these people. You have to try to take no notice
of them and keep working.
You have to be good at talking to people too. Journalists find out most of their information by talking to
people. Not everyone wants to talk to a journalist so you need to get people to trust you.
Being a journalist is a hard but great job. Now, are there any questions?
30. We can infer (推断)that George Smith always wanted to be a journalist ________.
A. when he was a young child B. after he finished university
C. until he had a good holiday D. before he wrote about a war
31. To become a good journalist, you should ________.
A. write funny things B. talk about local news
C. be mad with people D. make people listen to you
32. George Smith thinks his job is ________.
A. easy but boring B. worrying but nice
C. interesting but bad D. difficult but great

C
Do you know that the falcon (猎鹰) is among the fastest animals in the world? It can fly at a speed of about
200 miles per hour. You might think a bird that could fly so fast would be safe from most types of danger.
Unfortunately, that is not true. By the 1970s, they had already been endangered. What was causing the number of
falcons to drop so quickly?
In America, a pesticide, a chemical, called DDT was harming the falcon eggs. Luckily, DDT is no longer
used. The number of falcons is rising now.
One unusual thing about falcons is that they like to make their nests (巢) in high places. In nature, they often
nest on mountaintops and on the sides of cliffs (悬崖). Falcons have also got used to life in cities. They nest on tall
buildings and bridges in cities. The height of these nests is from 50 to 200 feet in the air.
They also like to return to the same nesting place every year. Both the mother and father falcons help to raise
the babies. The mother stays more time in the nest. The father hunts and brings back food for her and the babies.
Many people all around the country work very hard to help falcons live to adulthood. There are even video
cameras fixed up in many places. This way, people can make sure the birds and their eggs stay protected. Falcons
are lucky to have so many people who keep an eye on them.
34. What does the underlined word “pesticide” mean in Chinese?
A. 流感 B. 杀虫剂 C. 枪支 D. 捕猎网
35. According to the text, we know that ________.
A. falcons fly so fast that nothing can hurt them
B. falcons suddenly died out in the year 1970
C. people can’t find falcons’ nests in cities
D. baby falcons are brought up by their patents
36. What’s the author’s attitude towards the future of falcons?
A. Nervous. B. Hopeful. C. Curious. D. Unsure.
37. In which section (版)of a newspaper can we probably read the text?
A. SPORTS B. LIFE C. SCIENCE D. BUSINESS
