    Hosting an entertainment (娱乐) TV show seems to be a good job.

Liu Yan is the host of the popular music program“ Pepsi Music Chart Awards”.The program is on for half an hour every day on more than 30TV channels. Her job is to talk{#blank#}3{#/blank#} stars like Jay Chou or Leehom Wang.

    ＂The program takes a lot of work.＂ Liu said. Before she goes on, she reads something about the pop stars on the Internet or in newspapers. Sometimes she asks other hosts. She also learns thestars,new songs or latest dance moves to get{#blank#}4{#/blank#} to them.

    On the show, she respects the stars privacy(隐私). She doesn't ask {#blank#}5{#/blank#}questions.Instead, she lets the guests talk about things they are comfortable with. She speaks{#blank#}6{#/blank#},so her guests treat her the same way.

    One cold night, it was raining hard. An old couple (夫妇) came to a small hotel and wanted to stay there for the {#blank#}1{#/blank#}. Bill welcomed them warmly, {#blank#}2{#/blank#}said," I'm sorry! Our rooms are all full and the hotels nearby are all full too, for there will be an important meeting tomorrow. "

    Hearing Bill's words, the old couple felt very disappointed, and turned around to leave.

    Just as they were leaving, Bill came {#blank#}3{#/blank#} to them and stopped them. "Madam and sir, if you don't mind, you can sleep in my bedroom for a night…"

    The next morning, the 01d couple took out lots of money to Bill, but he {#blank#}4{#/blank#}"No! You {#blank#}5{#/blank#} pay me any money, for I only lend my room to you," said Bill with a smile {#blank#}6{#/blank#}  his face.

    "It's very {#blank#}7{#/blank#}of you, young man! Maybe one day, I'll build a hotel for you!" said the old man. With these words, the old couple left.

    Several years {#blank#}8{#/blank#} , Bill got a letter from the old couple, inviting him to New York. He met the old couple in front of a five - star hotel.

    "Do you still remember {#blank#}9{#/blank#} I said to you several years ago? Look! This is the hotel that I have built for you!" said the old man. Soon Bill {#blank#}10{#/blank#} the manager of the hotel.

    As more information comes out about 10-year-old Cindy Smith's death(死亡), worries about amusement park safety(游乐场安全性) grow.

Cindy is not the first child who died on an amusement park ride. 25 years ago, the mother of a 14-year-old girl waited to pick up her daughter outside Worlds of Fun. Laura Barry never saw her daughter Rosie alive again.

"My heart goes out to the Smith family more than they can ever possibly know," said Barry. She is one of the few people who truly know the hurt that family is feeling.

In 1995, Rosie's mom said that something went wrong on the Timber Wolf the night Rosie died. Police found no evidence(证据). Two men told the police that they saw Rosie standing before she fell out of the car.

"I couldn't believe that such a thing could happen still and again," said Barry. She believes Rosie's death should have been a wakeup call for amusement park safety.

She finds that not much has changed in the past years. Amusement parks race to build bigger, taller, faster rides. In her opinion, amusement parks just try to bring in visitors and give them the idea that riding is good, safe and fun. She believes that parks should have put safety first.

There is no exact number of amusement park deaths each year. It is quite low according to some websites. But Barry doesn't accept that. "My daughter was the only person that had ever been killed at Worlds of Fun in all of the years, among all of the thousands and thousands of people that went there. The number doesn't mean anything, you know, because when your child is the one, that's one too many," she said.
