Life as a newspaper reporter can be aggravating. Every morning at 5:, there’s a staff meeting where the managing editor goes through his agenda for the day. He’s not at all agreeable in the morning. In fact, he’s akin to a grouchy bear. Oh does he love to agitate us! I drink coffee to calm my nerves but sometimes it just aggravates my stomach.
“Jim, you’ll be covering the recent acts of aggression in the Middle East. We can’t afford to ignore this important development. You need to be airborne and on your way to the Middle East within the hour.”
“Jane, come in here, you’re late. Don’t leave the door ajar, this is a private meeting. I need you to get a copy of that new alien alert from the Immigration Department. The aggregate number of aliens in this country is growing, but it ems to me that such an alert will only rve to alienate our own minority groups.”
“Sam, you’re the most agile of us all. U your agility to catch up with the world-class runners who are in town for the marathon. Come on Sam, don’t agonize over your assignment, just do it.”
“Mary, the children in Central Africa are afflicted with an unknown dia. It’s not just an ailment. It’s something far more rious. Hey stop looking so aghast, you don’t need to go there.

Oh well, I guess I better get going. Can I afford to quit this wonderful job? Not today.

趣事环生 （Funny Thing Happen）
Yesterday, I decided to get my pants altered. I had $200 in my wallet, which was more than enough for the alteration. Foolishy however, I got lost taking an alternate route to the tailor shop. Fortunately, I had aspirin to alleviate my headache.
Walking further, I noticed a red balloon aloft, rising to a higher altitude. It distracted me, causing me to bump into two young brothers. They looked alike but emed opposite in personality. One was clearly aloof but the other appeared to be an altruistic individual. He could n I was lost and happily gave me directions. Such altruism is so rare the day
s. What an ally信息学奥赛 he can be to a lost person! The contrast in their personalities reminded me of the biblicla allegory of Cain and Abel. But it would be too hasty to allege such a contrast given that I didn’t really know them.
I continued on my way but was allured into a bike shop by a window photo of a lovely girl on a mountain bike. Below the photo, it said, “ride rough, ride real,” a clever alliteration. I felt there was no alternative but to enter the shop.
The owner was an alumnus from my university. He alluded that the best bike for me would be the $200 bike that was displayed in the window photo. It was made out of a special lightweight alloy. He also offered to adjust my tire alignment for free.
Well, I didn’t make it to the tailor that day. But I did ride home on a new bike. As for my pants? Well, the bike shop owner cut the pant legs off for free. Now I have a cool pair of shorts for riding!
