36、e chosen in the corresponding space in your BANSWER BOOKLET./BThe journalism bug bit me at a young age and I chased my dream in high school and college. Guess it was the Mary Tyler Moore and Lou Grant shows that inspired me.Unfortunately, that was TV; this was reality. I worked in TV and at newspape

37、rs. Movies and television often make these out to be glamorous jobs, but let me assure you nothing could be further from the truth. For the rookie, its often very long hours (5070 per week not uncommon) and the pay is just a crime. Many in management dont believe in paying overtime, even when its du

38、e. I had to file complaints against one employer (the owner of a small newspaper chain) and my last employer at the Labor Department. They were burning people out like there was no tomorrow. We shouldve installed revolving doors.Working in the press (TV or newsprint) can often be VERY stressful. The

39、re is ALWAYS a push on to get the information out (in its complete form) first and to get it out completely accurately. TV stations succeed greatly at the former, but quite often blow it on the latter. And you rarely hear a TV reporter or anchor man apologize or admit a mistake. Newspapers do it eve

40、ry day, and some feel that blows their credibility, but it should do the opposite.With about 20 years in the field and four years at my last job as editor in chief, I was released for political reasons. My publishers were high-ranking members of a political party. They were drinking buddies with the

41、 governor and many US senators. Despite their efforts to “draft“ me, I refused to sign the dotted line on application forms (for the party) and was fired. The day after election day, I was told I was being released because I did not live in the community. Only two people of the 2530 working there li

42、ved in the community.My greatest sense of accomplishment in this business has come from enlightening the public, making them aware of politicians and government officials breaking laws or just outright lying. You would not believe all the mess I have seen. Some of my stories and editorials have earn

43、ed me awards and a number of them have sparked investigations by the state police and FBI. All in a days work.Yes, its an ego thing at first, but that quickly wears off. Its a VERY cut-throat business. I began to see that in college and grade school. Working in a news room you have to get over the p

44、ersonalities, the egos and try to work around managements pet peeves. Weve had to spike (kill, censor) stories in TV and at papers because some stupid advertiser would be upset. Usually a friend of a friend, or a friend of an advertiser. Its SUCH a joke.I now wish I had not changed my major from com

45、puter science to journalism. Ouch! I would be making more money and living an easier life.My dream is to own a newspaperprobably a niche publication or a trade journal, somewhere in North Carolina or Colorado. Wish me luck.（分数：10.00）(1).Why does the author say the pay of news reporters is a crime?（分数：2.00）A.(A) Because it is a crime not to pay them for overtime.B.(B) Because it is illegal to require them to work long hours.C.(C) Because it is a viola
