A newspaper reporter’s job can be very interesting. He meets all types of people and lives quite a busy life. He is on the rush for news all the time, then after several years he may get a desk job, and life becomes a bit more settled. Let’s look at his work a little more closely. In a day he may have to interview the prime minister of a foreign country, and the next day he may be writing about a football match. Sometimes he may be so busy that he has hardly any time to sleep. And at other times he may go on for days looking out for news materials yet return empty-handed.
In the beginning, a reporter has to cover a very wide field. After the early years he becomes more specialized in his work. For example, he may finally be asked to write only on court cases or politics or sports. Some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing: horse racing, for example. In most newspaper houses there is at least one special racing correspondent. Some newspapers have book reviews. Their job is delightful. They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they like. Then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema. How lucky, you would say!
A reporter’s job can also be very dangerous. A number of them have died rushing from one assignment to another, and if there is a flood or a riot(暴乱) they may get hurt or even be killed. Three years ago there was a reporter whose camera was smashed by a group of men, because they were angry with him for taking their picture. Dangerous or not, one thing is certain, and that is, their job is never dull!

More than 6,000 children were expelled(开除) from the U. S. schools last year for bringing guns and bombs to schools, the U. S. Department of Education said on May 8.
The department gave a report on the expulsions(开除) as saying handguns accounted for 85 percent of the 6,093 expulsions in 1996-97, against 7 percent for rifles(步枪) or shotguns and 25 percent for other types of firearms.
“The report is a clear sign that our nation’s public schools are cracking down(严惩) on students who bring guns to school.” Education Secretary Richard Riley said in a statement. “We need to be tough-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe.”
In March 1997, an 11-year-old and a 13-year-old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14-year-old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Daducah, Kentucky.
Most of the expulsions, 56 per cent, were from high schools, which have students from about age 16. Nearly 34 per cent were from junior high schools and 9 per cent were from elementary schools, the report said.
62. From the first paragraph we can infer that in the U. S. schools _____.
A. students enjoy shooting B. students are eager to be soldiers
C. safety is a problem D. students can make guns
63. The report from the U. S. Department of Education shows that _____.
A. the number of the expulsions is not large
B. the number of the expulsions is wrong
C. there are soldiers hiding among the students
D. guns are out of control in the U. S. schools.
64. The main idea of Paragraph 4 shows us _____.
A. some examples of shooting in the U. S. schools
B. the American’s feeling
C. some terrible accidents
