Guess it was the Mary Tyle

27、r Moore and Lou Grant shows that inspired me. Unfortunately, that was TV; this was reality. I worked in TV and at newspapers. Movies and television often make these out to be glamorous jobs, but let me assure you nothing could be further from the truth. For the rookie, it“s often very long hours (50

28、70 per week not uncommon) and the pay is just a crime. Many in management don“t believe in paying overtime, even when it“s due. I had to file complaints against one employer (the owner of a small newspaper chain) and my last employer at the Labor Department. They were burning people out like there w

29、as no tomorrow. We should“ve installed revolving doors. Working in the press (TV or newsprint) can often be VERY stressful. There is ALWAYS a push on to get the information out (in its complete form) first and to get it out completely accurately. TV stations succeed greatly at the former, but quite

30、often blow it on the latter. And you rarely hear a TV reporter or anchor man apologize or admit a mistake. Newspapers do it every day, and some feel that blows their credibility, but it should do the opposite. With about 20 years in the field and four years at my last job as editor in chief, I was r

31、eleased for political reasons. My publishers were high-ranking members of a political party. They were drinking buddies with the governor and many US senators. Despite their efforts to “draft“ me, I refused to sign the dotted line on application forms (for the party) and was fired. The day after ele

32、ction day, I was told I was being released because I did not live in the community. Only two people of the 2530 working there lived in the community. My greatest sense of accomplishment in this business has come from enlightening the public, making them aware of politicians and government officials

33、breaking laws or just outright lying. You would not believe all the mess I have seen. Some of my stories and editorials have earned me awards and a number of them have sparked investigations by the state police and FBI. All in a day“s work. Yes, it“s an ego thing at first, but that quickly wears off

34、. It“s a VERY cut-throat business. I began to see that in college and grade school. Working in a news room you have to get over the personalities, the egos and try to work around management“s pet peeves. We“ve had to spike (kill, censor) stories in TV and at papers because some stupid advertiser wou

35、ld be upset. Usually a friend of a friend, or a friend of an advertiser. It“s SUCH a joke. I now wish I had not changed my major from computer science to journalism. Ouch! I would be making more money and living an easier life. My dream is to own a newspaperprobably a niche publication or a trade jo

36、urnal, somewhere in North Carolina or Colorado. Wish me luck.（分数：10.00）(1).Why does the author say the pay of news reporters is a crime?（分数：2.00）A.Because it is a crime not to pay them for overtime.B.Because it is illegal to require them to work long hours.C.Because it is a violation of the law to p

42、king. Is spanking, or other types of corporal punishment, an acceptable form of discipline for children? Or is it a form of child abuse? The case that everyone has talking is the arrest of Dale Clover, a thirty-six-year-old father of three, at a shopping mall in St. Louis, Missouri. He was arrested

43、after an employee at the mall saw him spanking his five-year-old son, Donny, and called the police. The father was arrested for child abuse. Mr. Clover admits that he hit his son but says that it wasn“t child abuse. He says it was discipline. Across the country, parents disagree on this issue: What

44、is the difference between loving discipline and child abuse? Some parents like Rhonda Moore see a clear difference between spanking and child abuse. Rhonda Moore believes a little bit of pain is necessary to teach a child what is right and wrong. “It“s like burning your hand when you touch a hot sto

45、ve. Pain is nature“s way of teaching us.“ Moore believes that spanking is done out of love, but child abuse is done out of anger, when the parent loses control. “When I spank my children, I always talk to them before and afterward, and explain why they are being spanked. I explain what they did wron

46、g, and they remember not to do it again.“ Moore says that her children respect her as a parent and understand that she is spanking them for their own good. In contrast, Taylor Robinson, father of four, feels that parents should never hit their children for any reason. Robinson wants his children to

47、learn right and wrong, but not because they are afraid of being hit. “Spanking teaches children to fear their parents, not respect them. When a parent spanks a child, what the child learns is that problems should be solved with violence.“ Robinson believes that children learn that it is acceptable for parents to hurt their children. “None of these are lessons that I want to teach my children. I want my children to learn to talk about their problems and solve them without violence, but spanking doesn“t teach that.“ Parents are split about c
