高中二年级英语(人教版)上册 Unit 2 Reading

　　ZHU LIN: Even though I have interviewed many famous people, the story I like best is about an ordinary young woman who tried to adapt to her new life after having studied abroad. I like the story because it was the first time that I had written with real passion and because it made me realise that everyone's life is different.

　　Q: If you could write any article you want, what would you write about and why?

　　ZHU LIN: I want to explore the mysteries in life. I would like to write about music, art, nature and the importance of spiritual fulfilment.

　　CHEN YING: I want to write about people you seldom read about, for example people who have AIDS or who are addicted to drugs. Their stories must be told if we want to solve difficult social problems and help those who suffer from them. For a reporter, the basic task is to report an event truthfully. We shouldn't ignore what happens even if it is difficult for people to accept some stories.

　　The media can often help solve problems and draw attention to situations where help is needed. For example, newspapers like China Daily or The People's Daily help us understand what life is like in other parts of China and the rest of the world. Carefully written articles can help people become interested in important questions around the world. TV programmes and printed articles also help people in other countries learn about China and the Chinese people. The result is a better understanding of the world on all sides, leading to a future world where people from all countries are respected and different views and opinions are tolerated.
