You are watching a film in which two men are having a fight. They hit one another hard. At the start they only fight with their fists. But soon they begin hitting one another over the heads with chairs. And so it goes on until one of the men crashes (撞击) through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead！Of course he isn't really dead. With any luck he isn't even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars of even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall on to hard ground but on to empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress (床垫). Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman' s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is "blown up" in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.

Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff (悬崖) a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞) failed to open, and he was killed. In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women when actresses have to perform some dangerous action. For nowadays there are stuntgirls too！

The American humorist，Will Rogers，used to say，“All I know is what I read in the newspapers”．This was an exaggeration for humorous purposes，but it is true that newspapers are an important source of information．Many people begin their day by reading the paper．In this way they learn what is going on in the world．Sometimes，however，they don't have time to read the news carefully and must be satisfied with a quick look at the front page；at other times they may be in such a hurry that they have time only to glance at the headlines．

There are newspapers to satisfy every reader．In the big cities there are many types of papers，with several different editions every day．In small towns there are fewer newspapers and perhaps only one edition each day．In some areas the paper is printed weekly.

Most newspapers have several sections，especially on Sundays when the edition is larger than usual．There are，in addition to the front page with the most important news，the sports section，the society page，the comics，the amusement section，a business page，and the editorials.

Another type of publication which helps keep the population informed is the magazine. Some magazines are published weekly，others are put out monthly．There are news magazines，literary magazines，and magazines for such special interests as photography，sports，art，and music，Some are primarily for men，others for women，and there is a selection of children's magazines，too. In the United States, there are publications for every taste and interest.
