【正文】 to a space station considered the most modem in space. Described as an enormous round plate, it spins slowly in space to imitate the pull of the earth39。re going to examine one of the latest forms of munication among our space citizens. No more typists working on a typewriter or puter! No more postage or postcodes! Messages can now be sent using a thoughtpad. You place the metal band over your head, clear your mind, press the sending button, think your message and the next instant it39。s stored on the thoughtpad of the receiver. It39。s a system where the waste is disposed of using the principles of ecology. A giant machine, always greedy for more, swallows all the waste available. The rubbish is turned into several grades of useful material, such as fertilizer for the fields and soil for deserts. Nothing is wasted, and everything, even plastic bags, is recycled. A great idea, isn39。 it? I stared at the moving model of the waste machine, absorbed by its efficiency. But again we moved on. G: Our third stop shows the changes that have happened to work practices. Manufacturing no longer takes place on the earth but on space stations like this one. A group of engineers programme robots to perform tasks in space. The robots produce goods such as drugs, clothes, furniture, hovering carriages, etc. There is no waste, no pollution and no environmental damage! However, the panies have to train their representatives to live and work in space settlements. They have to monitor the robots and the production. When the goods are ready they39。re delighted you39。 s admirable, but I39。 re more experienced. First we39。ll have a professional photographer with you to take photographs. You39。 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 troth 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 es my list of dos and don39。t miss your deadline, don39。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. It39。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. I39。ll get a scoop too! HX: Perhaps you will. You never know. GETTING THE SCOOP Quick, said the editor. Get that story ready. We need it in this edition to be ahead of the other newspapers. This is a scoop. Zhou Yang had just e back into the office after an interview with a famous film star. Did he really do that? asked someone from the International News Department. Yes, I39。176。177。s story. You are really able to write a good front page article, she said. Zhou Yang smiled with happiness. Last of all, the chief editor read it and approved it. Well done, he said to Zhou Yang. But please show me your evidence so we39。ve got our facts straight.161。 161。I161。ll bring it to you immediately, said Zhou Yang excitedly. The news desk editor took the story and began to work on all the stories and photos until all the pages were set. All the information was then ready to be processed into film negatives. This was the first stage of the printing process. They needed four negatives, as several colours were going to be used on the story. Each of the main colours had one negative sheet and when they were bined they made a coloured page for the newspaper. After one last check the page was ready to be printed. Zhou Yang waited excitedly for the first copies to be ready. Wait 611 tonight, his friend whispered. I expect there will be something about this on the television news. A real scoop! Unit 5 First aid 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 sun39。 it prevents your body from losing too much water。 often tissue under them can be seen l little or no pain if nerves are damaged。s quick action and knowledge of first aid that saved Ms Slade39。s hands. He slowed the bleeding by applying pressure to the wounds until the police and ambulance arrived. I39。d been taught, John said. John had taken part in the Young Lifesaver Scheme at his high school. When congratulating John, Mr Alan Southerton, Director of the Young Lifesaver Scheme said, There is no doubt that John39。s life. It shows that a knowledge of first aid can make a real difference.
