From my first day, I was attending press conferences and other media events all over town. I got to attend events at places I had never thought I’d get to: the White House, the Senate and House of Representative buildings at the Capitol (国会大厦), the Department of Health and Human Services, just to name a few. And I was sent to cover these events as if I were a reporter, not just an intern (实习生) .
In fact, I never really felt like an intern. I was given the opportunity to do the work that everyone else at the paper was doing. I covered stories on my own and wrote the articles myself. I was included in discussions for story ideas. I helped to edit the articles that went into the paper. I was able to take part in every aspect of the newspaper that I wanted to experience.
The best part of working at the Nation’s Health was the staff. They were supportive in letting me go out and do things on my own, while I always knew that they would be more than happy to answer any questions or help me with any problems I might have. Best of all, they treated me as their equal, not just an intern whom they could get to do all the work they didn’t want to do.
After interning at the Nation’s Health for nearly seven months and having more than 30 articles published, I had to move on. My experience there gave me insight into how the media work, which helps me when I’m trying to choose stories. In addition, it showed me that work really can be fun.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.How good reporting begins with journalism interns.
B.The author’s opportunity to work at the Nation’s Health.
C.The author’s experience working as an intern
D.The author’s first day as a professional reporter.
小题2:What impressed the author most when working at the Nation’s Health?
A.The employees treated her as one of them equally.

C.Covering stories and writing articles
D.Coming up with story ideas for the newspaper.
小题3:We can infer that the author had thought an intern would be made to ____.
A.go to as many places as possible
B.do the boring things that others didn’t want to do
C.treat people equally, no matter who they were.
D.get help from a professional reporter
小题4:What did the author think of her experience of working at the Notion’s Health?

What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt(收据)? Or is it the look on the recipient's face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?
This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion(蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that l already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it.  As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; My dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it.  The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture.  The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.
Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad's face as he unwrapped those swirling (卷曲的)black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.
小题1:The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was        .
A.doing shoppingB.having a debate
C.leaving for WyomingD.reading a message
小题2:The author's inspiration for the gift came from           .
A.a photo of a flowerB.a story about a kid
C.a call from the motherD.a text about Christmas
小题3:The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by _          .
A.the fatherB.the author
C.Edgar Allan PoeD. William Blake
小题4:The author made the gift by       .
A.searching for the poems online
B.drawing the background by hand
C.painting the letters in three colors
D.matching the words with pictures
小题5:What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To show how to design images for gifts
B.To suggest making gifts from one's heart.
C.To explain how computers help create gifts
D.To describe the gifts the author has received.

Until a few months ago, he was a butler(管家) in one of the more expensive residential buildings in Manhattan. But now, Nepal-born Indra Tamang is the owner of two multi-million dollar apartments in the same building.
The former owner - his former employer, Ruth Ford - died last year and left the apartments  to Mr Tamang in her will.
Mr Tamang is happy but quickly points out that his good fortune did not come easily. "I am happy and have been touched by the generosity of the Ford family," he says. "I never expected that I will be given the ownership of these apartments. But I have been working for the family for the last 36 years, devotedly, with honesty and dedication(奉献). So my hard work has been rewarded."
Mr Tamang was 21 when he was brought from Nepal by Charles Ford, a writer and a photographer. Mr Ford died in 2002; his sister, actress Ruth Ford, then took charge and told Mr Tamang that he was like a brother to her after Charles's death.
Mrs Ford died aged 98. During the last five years of her life, she lost her eyesight and also developed speech problems. Mr Tamang looked after her most of the time and took care of her medicines and food.
He also worked with Charles Ford on various photography projects, which he now wants to keep as the photographer's legacy(遗产). He hopes to organize exhibitions of Mr Ford's photographs and edit a book of his works.
Mr Tamang plans to sell the bigger, three-bedroom apartment to pay the taxes he owes to the government on his legacy. He says: "The rules of the building might be a problem, as they require a minimum monthly income to qualify to live as owner of apartments. I have my small house here but I am happy with it,"
Mr Tamang has learnt his lesson from the life of his employers and plans to use his money with great caution. "I think one should save money for old age. That's when you need it the most to get care," he says. 
小题1:Mr Tamang treated the legacy as __________.
A.a rewardB.a punishmentC.businessD.a gift
小题2:What DIDN’T Mr Tamang do in the Ford family?
A.Show Mr Ford's works in the exhibition.
B.Look after Ruth Ford when she was ill.
C.Work on kinds of photography projects
D.Experience deaths of Charles Ford and Ruth Ford
小题3:Mr Tamang wants to sell one apartment to _______. 
A.buy the small house
B.pay the government the tax of the apartments
C.edit a book of Charles Ford's photographs
D.move into the expensive apartments as soon as possible
小题4:What lesson does Mr Tamang learn from the Ford family? 
A.To find a good butler.
B.To spend money thoughtfully.
C.To save money for children.
D.To get good care when people get old.
小题5:What can we know from the passage?
A.Charles Ford gave the apartments to Mr Tamang.
B.Charles Ford couldn't see or speak before his death.
C.Mr Tamang treated Ruth Ford much better than her brother.
D.Mr Tamang will still live in his small house in the near future.
