Passage 1
Hello everyone! My name is George Smith and I’ve been a journalist (新闻记者) for 30 years. Yes, that’s a long time, isn’t it? I’m going to talk to you today about choosing journalism as a career.
I always wanted to be a journalist. I started a newspaper at school and worked on a student newspaper at university. I got a job as a journalist as soon as I finished university and I love my job till today.
Journalism is not for everyone. How can one be a good journalist?
You need to write well. You need to write in a way that is interesting to your audience. As a journalist, you will have to write for different audiences, so you need to be able lo change your style as well.
Journalists work very hard. It doesn’t matter if you are abroad, writing about a war or at home writing about local news. Journalists work long days and it can be very hard to find time to have a holiday.
You also need to be strong. What do I mean by that? Well, not everyone will like what you write. Sometimes people will say bad words about your work. You can’t be angry with the people. You have to try to take no notice of them and keep working.
You have to be good at talking to people too. Journalists find out most of their information by talking to people. Not everyone wants to talk to a journalist so you need to get people to trust you.

Passage 3 毕业时刻
Nezumi was a mou. He was thinking about finding a husband for her daughter Suki. But Suki said, “Father, I wish to marry Taro.”
Taro was smart and strong, but Taro’s parents were not rich or powerful. “My Suki can’t marry a common mou!” Nezumi said. “I’ll find someone powerful for my daughter.” Nesumi traveled far and wide, but nobody met his high standards.
One day, he climbed to the top of a mountain. “Hi, Sun!” Nezumi called. “Nobody is more powerful than you. I’d like you to marry my daughter.” Sun smiled and said, “Yes, I’m powerful. Without me, nothing grows. But when Cloud covers my face, the world grows cold.” As Cloud came, Sun disappeared.
