第 一 印 象
太空邮件：Liqiang299A@GreatAdventureSpaceStation.com15/11/3008(地球时间) 亲爱的爸爸妈妈：
我仍然不能相信我是在接受去年获得的这个奖励。我得不断提醒自己，我真地已经进入到公元3008年了。我很担心这次旅行，所以头几天心里总是不踏实。结果，我得了“时间滞后症”。这就与你们乘坐飞机会产生时差反应相似，所不同的是，在你们脑子里似乎会不断闪现以前的时光。因此，我一开始就感到神经紧张和心神不定。但是，我的朋友兼导游王平很细心体贴，给了我几粒绿色药片，倒是挺起作用的。他父母的公司叫做“未来之旅”，以其技术高超而闻名，用时间舱平安地把我送入了未来。
我仍然记得女乘务员让我们都进入时间舱，我们都通过一个小入口爬进去。座位是很舒适的，喝了点镇静剂以后，我们感到很困，就闭上了眼睛。时间舱在轻轻地左右摇晃，我们放松地躺在那里做梦。几分钟以后，旅程结束，我们都到了。我仍然在地球上，但是进入了未来的一千年。我会看到什么呢？
开始新的环境很难忍受。空气似乎很稀薄，好像在混合的气体中剩下的氧气很少。由于缺乏新鲜空气，我感到头痛。正当我努力调整自己适应新环境时，王平出现了。“把这个面罩戴上，它会使你感觉好得多。”他建议说。他把面罩递给我，然后把我快速带到一个附近的小房间里休息。我立刻就感到舒服些了。一会儿我就又站起来，跟着他去领取了一台由电脑驱动的汽垫车。这些汽垫车是在地面上漂浮着的，只要把座位打弯或压下，你就可以迅速地移动。王平给我系好安全带并且教我如何使用。很快，我就跟王平飞得一样快了。但是，当我们到达一个看上去像是大市场的地方时，王平不见了，因为很多汽垫车在身边朝各个方向飞奔。他被卷入到这群车队中去了。就在这个时候我得了一次“时间滞后”的回闪，这样我就再次看到了公元2008年的那个地区了。我这才懂得我被送到了未来，但却仍然在自己的家乡！然后我又见到了王平，于是又跟在他后面飞去。
来到一个形状奇怪的房子面前，他把我带到一个明亮而洁净的大房间。那里有绿色的墙，棕色的地板，柔和的灯光。突然，墙壁移动了——原来是树形成的！后来我才发现，就是这些树的叶子为这栋房屋提供了急需的氧气。然后王平在电脑荧屏上闪了一下开关，于是一张
桌子和几把椅子就像变魔术一样从地板下面升了上来。“为什么不坐下来吃点东西呢？”他说道，“你第一次做这样的时间旅行，可能会感到有些困难。今天没有任何出行计划，你可以好好休息一下。明天你还要准备参观几个地方。”说完这些，他把食物摆在桌子上，又从地板下拿出一张床来。他离开后，我快速吃了些东西，洗了个热水澡。我感到累极了，溜到床上很快就睡着了。
以后再谈吧！ 你们亲爱的儿子， 李强
MY FIRST WORK ASSIGNMENT “Unforgettable” says new journalist
Never will Zhou Yang (ZY)forget his first assignment at the office of a popular English newspaper.His discussion with his new boss，Hu Xin (HX)，was to strongly influence his life as a journalist.
HX：Welcome.We're delighted you're coming to work with us.Your first job here will be an assistant journalist.Do you have any questions?
ZY：Can I go out on a story immediately?
HX：(laughing) That's admirable，but I'm afraid it would be unusual！Wait till you're more experienced.First we'll put you as an assistant to an experienced journalist.Later you can cover a story and submit the article yourself.
ZY：Wonderful.What do I need to take with me？I already have a notebook and camera. HX：No need for a camera.You'll have a professional photographer with you to take photographs.You'll find your colleagues very eager to assist you，so you may be able to concentrate on photography later if you're interested.
ZY：Thank you.Not only am I interested in photography，but I took an amateur course at university to update my skills.
HX：Good.
ZY：What do I need to remember when I go out to cover a story?
HX：You need to be curious.Only if you ask many different questions will you acquire all the information you need to know.We say a good journalist must have a good“nose”for a story.That means you must be able to assess when people are not telling the whole truth and then try to discover it.They must use research to inform themselves of the missing parts of the story.
ZY：What should I keep in mind.
HX：Here comes my list of dos and don'ts：don't miss your deadline，don't be rude，don't talk too much，but make sure you listen to the interviewee carefully.
ZY：Why is listening so important?
HX：Well，you have to listen for detailed facts.Meanwhile you have to prepare the next question depending on what the person says.
ZY：But how can I listen carefully while taking notes?
HX：This is a trick of the trade.If the interviewee agrees，you can use a recorder to get the facts straight.It's also useful if a person wants to challenge you.You have the evidence to support your story.
ZY：I see！Have you ever had a case where someone accused your journalists of getting the wrong end of the stick?
HX：Yes，but it was a long time ago.This is how the story goes.A footballer was accused of taking money for deliberately not scoring goals so as to let the other team win.We went to interview him.He denied taking money but we were sceptical.So we arranged an interview between the footballer and the man supposed to bribe him.When we saw them together we guessed from the footballer's body language that he was not telling the truth.So we wrote an article suggesting he was guilty.It was a dilemma because the footballer could have demanded damages if we were wrong.He tried to stop us publishing it but later we were proved right.
ZY：Wow！That was a real “scoop”．I'm looking forward to my first assignment now.Perhaps I'll get a scoop too!
HX：Perhaps you will.You never know.
我的第一项工作任务“难以忘怀”，新闻记者说
周阳永远不会忘记他在一家很受欢迎的英语报社的第一项工作任务。他同新上司胡新的讨论对他的记者生涯必将产生重大的影响。
胡：欢迎你。非常高兴你来和我们一起工作。你在这里首先是当助理记者。有什么问题吗？
周：我可以马上外出采访吗？
胡：(笑)值得表扬，但是恐怕这样就不太合乎常规了！等到你比较有经验以后才行。首先我们要派你给有经验的记者做助手。以后你就可以自己采访新闻，提交新闻稿了。
周：太棒了。我需要带什么？我有一个笔记本和一个相机。
胡：不需要相机。你将带上一名专业摄影师去拍照。你将发现同事们会热情地帮助你，因此如果你对摄影感兴趣，以后你可以集中精力去研究它。
周：谢谢你。对摄影我不仅仅是感兴趣，在大学里我还参加过业余摄影班提高我的水平
呢。
胡：很好。
周：我外出采访时还需要记住些什么呢？
胡：你需要保持好奇心。只有问很多问题，你才能得到你想得到的信息。我们说，一个好的记者必须有对新闻非常敏锐的“嗅觉”。那就是说，在人们还没有说出全部真相之前，记者就要能够作出判断，并力求发现真相。他们必须通过调查研究，来使自己了解被遗漏的那部分情况。
周：我还要注意些什么呢？
胡：下面是我的行为准则：不要超过最后期限，不可对人粗鲁，不可自己说得太多，务必认真倾听被采访人的回答。
周：为什么倾听这么重要呢？
胡：你得听清楚事实的细节。同时，你还要根据被采访人所说的话准备提出下一个问题。 周：但是怎样才能在作记录的同时听清对方的话呢？
胡：这就是我们职业的诀窍了。如果被采访人允许，你可以使用小型录音机来记录下全部事实。如果有人提出质疑，这也有用。你就有证据来支持你的报道。
周：我明白了！你有没有遇到过这种情况：别人控告你的记者，说他的报道失实呢？ 胡：有，不过这是很久以前的事了。事情是这样的：一位足球运动员被指控受贿，故意不进球，好让别的队赢球。我们去采访了他。他否认受贿，但我们很怀疑。因此我们为足球运动员和那个被认为行贿的人安排了一场采访。当我们看见他们在一起时，从足球运动员的身体语言猜出他没有说出真相。所以我们写了一篇文章暗示他曾受贿。这事有些为难，因为如果我们出错，足球运动员会要求赔偿。他试图阻止我们公布该消息，但后来我们被证明是对的。
周：哇！那真是独家新闻。我现在盼望得到第一个任务。或许我也能找到独家新闻！ 胡：你也许会。谁知道呢。
FIRST AID FOR BURNS
The skin is an essential part of your body and its largest organ.You have three layers of skin which act as a barrier against disease，poisons and the sun's harmful rays.The functions of your skin are also very complex：it keeps you warm or cool；it prevents your body from losing too much water；it is where you feel cold，heat or pain and it gives you your sense of touch.So as you can imagine，if your skin gets burned it can be very serious.First aid is a very important first step in the treatment of burns.
Causes of burns
You can get burned by a variety of things：hot liquids，steam，fire，radiation (by being close to high heat or fire，etc)，the sun，electricity or chemicals.
Types of burns
There are three types of burns.Burns are called first，second or third degree burns，depending on which layers of the skin are burned.
? First degree burns These affect only the top layer of the skin.These burns are not serious and should feel better within a day or two.Examples include mild sunburn and burns caused by touching a hot pan，stove or iron for a moment.
? Second degree burns These affect both the top and the second layer of the skin.These burns are serious and take a few weeks to heal.Examples include severe sunburn and burns caused by hot liquids.
? Third degree burns These affect all three layers of the skin and any tissue and organs under the skin.Examples include burns caused by electric shocks，burning clothes，or severe petrol fires.These burns cause very severe injuries and the victim must go to hospital at once.
Characteristics of burns First degree burns ? dry red and mildly swollen ? mildly painful ? turn white when pressed Second degree burns ? rough，red and swollen ?·blisters ? watery surface ? extremely painful Third degree burns ?black and white and charred
?swollen；often tissue under them can be seen
?little or no pain if nerves are damaged；may be pain around edge of injured area.
