Here are some of the most influential print journalists in history.
John Peter Zenger
This man published the New York Weekly Journal in the 1700s. He wrote honestly about the Britain government, and in 1735 he was arrested(逮捕). He was found not guilty, since what he wrote was based on truth. His case helped influence the American Revolution.
Benjamin Franklin
We know that Benjamin Franklin had a lot of interests. But many people don’t realize that the inventor and founding father was also a journalist. His The Pennsylvania Gazette began in the 1730s, and Franklin used it to help get his ideas out and influence the public leading up to the American Revolution.
William Randolph Hearst
Hearst was well known as one of the biggest publishers and journalists of his time. He started with The San Francisco Examiner, and went from there. Hearst was one of the starters of “yellow journalism”, which started a new field of journalism that used eye-catching headlines to draw the attention of readers.
Helen Thomas
This woman is the first lady of print journalism. She has been a White House reporter since 1961. She is known for her bold(大胆的) questions, and for her ability to get to the heart of the matter. Thomas gained new influence and fame when George Bush was President for her sharp questions and comments.

Children really need to know some basic first aid(急救) skills. This is true whether your child is four or fourteen. So what should you teach your children?
Calling for help
Once your child reaches the age of four, he should know all about calling 911 in the event of an emergency(紧急情况). Explain all about what a real emergency is. For example, he should call 911 if an adult asks him to, if an adult can’t be woken, if there is a fire and he can’t find an adult, or if people are hurt.
Cuts and scrapes (擦伤)
Teach children about basic care for cuts and scrapes. In my house, the kids all know that cuts must be cleaned. They also know how to put pressure on a cut to make a cut stop bleeding. Of course they should ask an adult for help, but they should also know a bit about self care. Believe it or not, I had to help a teenage neighbor once who didn’t know what to do when he cut his hand on broken glass. He just ran around in a circle.
Burns
Tell your child that if he gets a burn, he should immediately call for help and then run the cool but not cold water for the burn. Getting a burn cooled down quickly can reduce the damage to the skin.
25. What should children be taught at 4 according to the writer?
A. To call out parents’ name B. To get help from the police
C. To know what a real emergency is D. To remember some phone numbers
26. What does the example of the writer’s teenage neighbor mainly tell us?
A. Getting help is very important B. Even teenagers can cut their hands.
C. Not all teenagers are good at self care. D. We should be prepared to help others
27. What should we do if we get a burn?
A. Look for some clean paper B. Put some ice on the burn
C. Cool the burn under water D. Wait for rescuers patiently

C
July 20, 1969 is a day that will forever go down in the history books as a day that changed the world forever. That was the day when American astronaut and explorer Neil Armstrong was the first person to set foot on the moon.
The moon is almost 240,000 miles from the Earth. Armstrong and his crew, which included fellow astronauts Michael Collins and Edwin ‘Buzz” Aldrin, began their journey into space on the Apollo 11 Lunar Module(登月舱) on July 16,1969. Armstrong was the commander of the mission(任务) and he was the one who piloted the aircraft to the surface of the moon. At almost 11pm on July 20, 1969, Armstrong exited(离开) the craft and set foot on the moon, saying the now famous words, “That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. ”
Aldrin later exited the Apollo 11 Lunar Module as he and Armstrong collected samples(样品) from the moon that they could bring back to the Earth with them and study. Also, they took photos of the moon and its environment as well as their footprints on the moon. Michael Collins, the third member of the crew, remained in the command module during this time.
The mission began its return from the moon on July 24,1969 four days after its historic landing. The Apollo 11 returned, landing just west of Hawaii in the Pacific Ocean. The three-member crew was kept away from others for three weeks just to be sure they were not carrying any unknown diseases or illnesses. After all, it was the first time that the moon had been explored, so nobody really knew what to expect. Following that, they were treated as heroes.
28. What do we know about the mission?
A. It ended on July 16, 1969 B. Michael Collins piloted the craft.
C. Edwin Aldrin was the commander D. Three astronauts were in the craft.

A. Three members’ successful cooperation
B. The first time man has landed on the moon.

D. The short distance between the moon and the Earth.
30. What did Michael Collins do as the others were collecting samples?
A. He studied the samples. B. He also collected samples.
C. He stayed in the command module D. He took some photos.
31. Why were the astronauts kept away from others after their return?
A. Because they might have brought back hidden dangers.
B. Because they had become ill.
C. Because they carried unknown diseases on them.
D. Because they needed to take a good rest.

D
In America, one big Easter(复活节) tradition sends children to hunt for hidden Easter eggs. Children carry baskets and collect eggs made of chocolate or candy. They search in the house, their yards or a park, but one egg hunt on Saturday went wrong in the northeastern state of Connecticut.
A candy company hosted an egg hunt for children. The company is called PEZ, and it hid more than 9000 eggs in its office building in Connecticut. But many more people showed up than the candy maker had expected.
The egg hunt was set up on three separate fields, and children would be assigned(分配) to hunt for eggs based on their ages. But on Monday morning, stories reported that parents going out of control at the hunt made PEZ one of the top hot topics on Facebook.
It turned out that the parents made a rush to the fields where the eggs were hidden. They said they were trying to get eggs for their children. But instead, they left behind a lot of hurting feelings.
One 4-year-old boy told a local television station that someone pushed him over and took his eggs. The boy’s bucket for collecting eggs was also broken. One employee said parents’ rush made him think of locusts(蝗虫). “We did our best,” he said. “But unluckily, it fell a little short.”
Two PEZ pages on Facebook had comments from people saying the event was not organized well, while others said the parents destroyed an event which was designed for children.
The company tried to make up for the mess by giving people more candy as they were leaving the event. But in Washington D.C., at the White House, the picture was very different. On Monday afternoon, President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle Obama hosted their Easter egg roll.
32. Why did one egg hunt go wrong in the northeastern state of Connecticut?
A. Many uninvited people hid the eggs.
B. PEZ forgot to prepare eggs for children.
C. PEZ didn’t pay much attention to the event.
D. Some parents were too selfish to think about others.
33. How did the little boy feel about the rush?
A. Exciting B. Surprising C. Disappointing D. Touching
34. What did the employee mean by saying “it fell a little short”?
A. The event didn’t come up to expectations B. PEZ did something wrong in this mess.
C. PEZ failed to hide more eggs. D. The event ended up very soon.
35. Where does the text probably come from?
A. A holiday guide B. A historical study C. A market survey D. A news report
