17、r it.They must use research to inform themselves of the missing parts of the story. 周：我外出采访时还要记住些什么呢？胡：你需要保持好奇心。只有提出很多不同的问题，你才能收集到你所需要的所有信息。我们说，一个好记者必须具备对新闻非常敏感的“嗅觉”。那就是说，在人们还没有说出全部真相之前，记者就要能够作出判断，并力求发现真相。他们必须通过调查研究来获悉被遗漏的那部分情况。助读讲解onlyif引导的状语从句位于句首时，主句用部分倒装语序。have a good nose for对有敏锐的嗅觉。ZY：What sho

24、.周：我明白了！你们有没有遇到过这样的情况：别人控告你的记者，说他(她)们的报道完全失实？胡：有，不过这是很久以前的事了。事情是这样的：一位足球运动员被指控受贿，故意不进球，好让另一队赢球。我们去采访了他。他否认接受了贿赂，但我们很怀疑他。因此我们为足球运动员和那个被认为行贿的人安排了一场采访。 当我们看见他们在一起时，从足球运动员的身体语言猜出他没有说出真相。所以我们写了一篇文章暗示他曾受贿。这是一个两难的问题，因为如果我们错了，足球运动员会要求赔偿。他试图阻止我们公布该消息，但后来我们被证实是正确的。周阳：哇！那是真正的独家新闻啊！现在我期盼着我(当记者)的首次任务。说不定我也会搞到独家新
25、闻呢！胡欣：也许你会的。很难说。助读讲解get the wrong end of the stick 完全误解；弄错。go vi.流传；表达；进展。第一步速读了解文章主题和段落大意速读P26教材课文，选择最佳答案1In the passage，the writer mainly tells us about .Athe qualities needed to become a good reporterBthe skills to become a professional photographerCbeing careful in the new environmentDhow to hav
