Last week when I was sitting in my office，I heard an elderly lady talking on the phone about her husband．Her husband’s name was Ed．He dropped her off for her doctor’s appointment and was going to park the car and wait for her．She was so upset that she started to cry．I knew I should take action．
The lady told me her name was Helen and she called the restaurant she and her husband were going to have lunch at after her appointment to see if he was waiting for her there．She explained that she thought her husband parked the car in the parking lot and waited for her in the car but she didn’t find him there so she returned to see if he entered the medical building，but Ed was not there either．She regretted making her husband park the car alone since some signs of Alzheimer’s(早老年性痴呆病)had happened in his behavior．I asked a few nurses to help look for Ed inside and outside the medical building according to Helen’s description．Then I offered to drive Helen to the restaurant to see if Ed was waiting for her there．
On arriving at the parking lot of the restaurant，Helen began to search for Ed’s car but she failed，which suggested Ed wasn’t there．We decided to have a talk with the manager before we returned to the hospital．On our way to the manager’s office．I received a call from a nurse，who said they had found Ed．What a relief! But we still needed to go on searching since he forgot where he parked his car! Fortunately, we didn’t have much difficulty finding it．

A newspaper reporter’s job can be very interesting．He meets all types of people and lives quite a busy life．He is on the rush for news all the time，then after several years he may get a desk job，and life becomes a bit more settled．Let’s look at his work a little more closely．In a day he may have to interview the prime minister of a foreign country, and the next day he may be writing about a football match．Sometimes he may be so busy that he hardly has any time to sleep．And at other times he may go on for days looking out for news materials yet return empty—handed．

Their job is delightful．They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they like．Then there are those who write on fdms，so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema．How lucky, you would say!
A reporter’s job can also be very dangerous．If there is a flood or a riot(暴乱)they may get hurt or even be killed．Three years ago there was a reporter whose camera was destroyed by a group of men，because they were angry with him for taking their picture．Dangerous or not，one thing is certain，and that is，their job is never dull!
