Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently –one who works for you. In fact, he’s one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.
Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume （简历）and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues （问题）, approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I’m sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment （分工）, and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the r esponsibility you’ve given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.
So why is he looking for a way out?
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he’s doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That’s what you want for him, too, isn’t it?
So your reporter has set me thinking.
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists- everyone- is to work harder to make sure the y get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can’t do it, they’ll find someone who can.
25. What does the writer think of the reporter?
A. Optimistic.
B. Imaginative.
C. Ambitious.
D. Proud.
26. What does the reporter want most from his editors in their talks?
A. Finding the news value of his stories.
B. Giving him financial support.
C. Helping him to find issues.
D. Improving his good ideas.
27. Who probably wrote the letter?
A. An editor.
B. An artist.
C. A rep orter.
D. A reader.
28. The letter aims to remind editors that they should ________.
A. keep their best reporters at all costs
B. give more freedom to their reporters
C. be aware of their reporters’ professional development
D. appreciate their reporters’ working styles and attitudes
C
Pacing and Pausing
Sara tried to befriend her old friend Steve’s new wife, but Betty never seemed to have anything to say. While Sara felt Betty didn’t hold up her end of the conversation, Betty complained to Steve that Sara never gave her a chance to talk. The problem had to do with expectations about pa cing and pausing.
Conversation is a turn-taking game. When our habits are similar, there’s no problem. But if our habits are different, you may start to talk before I’m finished or fail to take your turn when I’m finished. That’s what was happening with Betty and Sara.
It may not be coincidental （巧合）that Betty, who expected relatively longer pauses between turns, is British, and Sara, who expected relatively shorter pauses, is American. Betty often felt interrupted by Sara. But Betty herself became an interrupter and found herself doing most of the
talking when she met a visitor from Finland. And Sara had a hard time cutting in on some speakers from Latin America or Israel.
The general phenomenon, then, is that the small conversation technique s, like pacing and pausing, lead people to draw conclusions not about conversational style but about personality and abilities. These habitual differences are often th e basis for dangerous stereotyping （思维定式）. And these social phenomena can have very personal consequences. For example, a woman from the southwestern part of the US went to live in an eastern city to take up a job in personnel. When the Personnel Department got together for meetings, she kept searching for the right time to break in –and never found it. Although back home she was considered outgoing and confident, in Washington she was viewed as shy and retiring. When she was evaluated at the end of the year, she was told to take a training course because of her inability to speak up.
That’s why slight differences in conversational style-tiny little things like microseconds of pause –can have a great effect on one’s life. The result in this case was a judgment of psychol ogical problems – even in the mind of the woman he rself, who really wondered what was wrong with her and registered for assertiveness training.
29. What did Sara think of Betty when talking with her?
A. Betty was talkat ive.
B. Betty was an interrupter.
C. Betty did not take her turn.
D. Betty paid no attention to Sara.
30. According to the pa ssage, who are likely to expect the shortest pauses between turns?
A. Americans.
B. Israelis.
C. The British.
D. The Finns.
31. We can learn from the passage that ________.
A. communication breakdown results from short pauses and fast pa cing
B. women are unfavorably stereotyped in eastern cities of the US
C. one’s inability to speak up is culturally determined sometimes
D. one should rece ive training to build up one’s confidence
32. The underlined word “assertiveness”in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A. being willing to speak one’s mind
B. being able to increase one’s power
C. being ready to make one’s own judgment
D. b eing quick to express one’s ideas confidently
D
When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.”or “I know I’m late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.”It is probably no t your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on the person. You should aecept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about-creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don’t have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and apportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “whose fault it is.”Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
33. According to the passage, winners _________.
A. deal with problems rather than blame others
B. m eet with fewer difficulties in their lives
C. have responsible and able colleagues
D. blame themselves rather that others
34. When your colleague brings about a problem, you should ________.
A. find a better way to handle the problem
B. blame him for his lack of responsibility
C. tell him to find the cause of the problem
D. ask a more able colleague for help
35. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A Winner’s Secret.
B. A Winner’s Problem
C. A Winner’s Opportunity.
D. A Winner’s Achievement.

House Sitting
In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away.
In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 36
So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yards and they need cleaning. 37 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area.
38 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home.
There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time. 39 You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have.
Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the home owner has a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe.
40 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the
important things to get are references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can show these letters to prospective house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job.
A. I have done house sitting many times.
B. Thousands of people do this all the time.
C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries.
D. Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job.
E. You must take a little care over what your description says about you.
F. This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas.
G. You must have a good car, so you can travel to different parts of the country.

I had a pleasant journey back from America, and after more than ten hours of flying, I just arrived home safe and sound. I want to thank you and your family for taking such good care of me during my stay in America. Here I would like to return the favour and invite you to come sightseeing in Beijing next summer. You would also be welcome to stay at my home during your visit to Beijing.
I believe we will have a good time then.
I hope to hear from you soon.
