It was my mothers idea. She wanted me to “make something” of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with the competition.With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible, making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home.“How many did you sell, my boy?” my mother asked.“None.”“Where did you go?”“The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues.”“What did you do?”“Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post.”“You just stood there?”“Didnt sell a single one.”“My God, Russell!”Uncle Allen put in, “Well, Ive decided to take the Post.” I handed him a copy and he paid me a nickel(五分镍币). It was the first nickel I earned.Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.One day, I told my mother Id changed my mind. I didnt want to make a success in the magazine business.“If you think you can change your mind like this,” she replied, “youll become a good-for-nothing.” She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines. Whenever I said no, she would scold me.My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied with my fathers plain workmans life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people.

On Aug. 19, the executive editor of the Quad- City Times in Iowa, and Illinois, US visited her website, , and saw a story about a man who had been shot to death. When she got to the readers comments sections at the end, she was shocked by what she saw. Below the story was a growing number of commentsa racist remark about democratic votes, a negative comment about police So Phillips decided to do something she had been thinking about for a long time: she shut down the comments sections.Phillips was not alone in making such a move. Last week, NPR announced k too was closing its online comments sections. The decisions dont mean that the news outlets are no longer interested in what their audiences are thinking. Both stressed their eagerness to hear from readers and listeners on social networks. But both agreed that comments had deviated from their original intention. And so they had.In early days of digital journalism, comments were seen as a key part of this new media, a wonderful opportunity for strengthening the dialogue between news producers and their audiences. It was a welcome change, given that for long many news organizations were far too separated from their readers. Much more back and forth conversation seemed like healthy and welcome evolution. Sadly, thats not the way things turned out. Rather than a place for exchanging ideas, comments sections became the home of ugly name-calling, racism and anti-women language. Besides their poisonous quality, comments seem out of place today.“Since we made the announcement, Ive received an outpouring of responses from our readers,” she says. “Ive heard from parents whose children were hurt by our online comments. Ive heard from people who said they wouldnt send in letters to the editor because they were attacked so fiercely by comments, and wasnt worth it.”1、Why did Autumn Phillips shut down the comments sections?AThey were put to wrong use.BHer website was attacked heavily.CThey exposed many illegal issues.DShe was angry about readers comments.2、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 indicate about comments?AThey were out of date.BThey had gone against their original intentions.CThey were full of sensitive information.DThey couldnt interest the audience.3、What was the welcome change in the early digital journalism?AReaders, having more access to news.BReaders making less negative comments.CReaders freedom to express their thoughts.DReaders active involvement in the news industry.4、How do many readers feel about Autumn Phillips, move according to the last paragraph?ACautious. BHopeful.CSurprised. DSupportive.24（8分） We can take online joyful learning experiences to a new level by combining the best practices in education with inspiring hands-on lessons that parents and children can enjoy together.Starting a Writers NotebookJune 13thJune 17thThis workshop is to inspire children to see themselves as true authors.

Hed need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.While many people in China remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. Its nothing personal. Most Americans dont even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.But that doesnt mean that Americans dont care about Confucius.
