Every morning, the newspaper chief editor(主编) holds a meeting with the reporters. They discuss the main events(事件) of the day. Reporters are then sent to cover the events.
As soon as the reporters know what to write about, they get down to work. They telephone people and fix a time for a face-to-face interview with them. Sometimes they do telephone interviews. Checking information is very important. They go to the newspaper’s own library to look up any information that they need. This is called “doing one’s homework”.
At the same time, the picture editor decides which photographs will be used for the next day’s paper. All the people who work on a newspaper must be able to work fast. Reporters have to stop working on one story and start working at once on the important new one. They must find out the new information as quickly as possible. Later in the day, everything is put together at the news desk. Reporters return, type their stories into the computer and hand them to the editor.
The chief editor decides which will be the most important story on the front page. Sometimes this will have to be changed if something more important happens late in the day. Other editors read the stories which the reporters have written and make any necessary changes.
Finally, there is no more time left for adding new stories, and the time for printing(印刷) the newspaper has come. This is done on fast-moving printing machines. The newspapers are then delivered(发送) by truck, plane or rail. Speed is important. People want to buy the latest newspaper; nobody wants to buy yesterday’s.

When I was in Grade Three, I was picked to be the princess(公主) in the school play. For weeks my mother helped me practice my lines.         once on the stage, every word disappeared from my head.

My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower shines in its own way, doesn’t it?” She said. I nodded.
“And that is true of people,        ,” she added.
She had guessed my pain. I started to cry and told her the truth.
“You will be a beautiful           ”, she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her. Over the next few weeks, I learned to take pride in the role.

On a cold December morning, my mother and I were walking home from pizza store. We were served
warmly and equipped with the video we had been trying      . I was feeling a little tired      I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks and the video.
They were so     that I decided to throw away some of them. So I started to walk towards the dustbin when I noticed a poor man stepping out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He headed for another nearby dustbin and started looking      something.
I suddenly felt very upset. I know this man would take all he could get, so I walked up to him and handed the drink and some snacks to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles(皱纹) on his forehead, looked up in     and took what I gave him.
A huge smile spread across his face and this made     feel indescribable satisfaction(满意). I felt like I couldn’t be happier with myself, but then he said, “Wow, first someone gives me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some tasty food, this is my daughter’s      day!”
He thanked me     and started off on his bike. I even heard him whistling(吹哨) a song as he
    away.
I now understand what is meant by the saying “Giving is getting”. Everyone in the world needs help, everyone can      help and everyone will be helped by something kind.
The image(图像) of that man’s happiness caused by my small gift appears in my mind every time I have the chance to do something nice.

Now you’ve finished three years of English study. There’s one way to demonstrate(展示) what you’ve learned-take a test!
Do you have any special methods you use to help you do better on a test? How well you do is often a matter of how well prepared you are. Here are some ways to make sure you’re at your best on test days.
Go to bed early. The night before a test is not the time to stay up watching TV. You want to be rested and wide-awake for test day.
Have a good breakfast. Test day isn’t a morning for donuts. Nor is it a time to starve(挨饿) yourself. Eat plenty of low-sugar, high-energy food to keep your brain and body working their best.
Be prepared. Make sure you have two pencils and anything else you were asked to bring.
Watch the numbers. Make sure that the number of the items(项目) on your answer sheet matches the number of the question.
Look over all the answer choices. Don’t assume(假定) that choice A is correct until you’ve checked the others. You may find a better one. And it is wrong to eliminate(排除) any choice that you can see at once. You’ll have a better chance of finding the right answer.
Check the clock. Make sure you allow yourself enough time to answer every question and go back and check your answers. Don’t spend too much time on any difficult question. Skip it and come back to it later.
Keep up with your schoolwork all year long. That’s how you get the skills you need for
taking test.
小题1: Is taking a test a way to demonstrate what you’ve learned?

Fashion is a term commonly used to describe a style of clothing worn by most people of a country. A fashion usually keeps popular for 1-3 years and then is replaced by another fashion. Even though there are a lot of changes in fashion, most people do not easily hope for the changes.
Nowadays more and more young people prefer following the fashion. On this phenomenon(现象), different people have different opinions. It is held that one should follow the fashion so as not to be looked down or seem strange. But it is also held that one should have his or her own judgement(判断).
Those who hold the first opinion think that society is progessing and one should get used to the changes. In their opinions, if everyone always follows the old fashion, there won’t be any change and naturally there won’t be much progress. However, those who hold the second view think that one shouldn’t follow the fashion without having his or her own judgement and characters.
As for me, I agree with the second opinion. Of course, it’s good for people to keep up with the fashion, but this is not to say that people should follow the fashion blindly(盲目地). If all the people follow the same fashion, there will be no variety and the whole society will be boring.
