42、 she had always wanted a fatherDA little girl in my family got a typewriter for Christmas. Not a laptop. Nothing with a screen. The old-fashioned manual kind.Typewriters had pretty much gone the way of dodo birds quite some years before my granddaughter was born. But it was the typewriter used by a
43、journalist in the movie “Kit Kittredge: An American Girl” that attracted her.Or maybe it was the way the typewriter was used. In the movie, Kit does old-fashioned journalism and writes stories that help right a wrong. In a challenging environment she keeps her wits and a strong sense of ethics (道德)
44、about her.However, another reporter, Chuck Tatum in “Ace in the Hole” is totally different.

48、 be using her typewriter but she will, I hope, be using what shes learned from the journalists of this generation. Its up to us to set the right example.41.

49、ies.C. He attracts peoples attention in the street.D. He becomes mad because theres no news.42.
