    Do you want to be a TV news reporter? People often ask me 1 I love my job. Well, it's very exciting. I'm the first to know about important news stories. I travel around the world and I talk to people. I find out what is 2 in different places. I talk to some important and famous people. I've talked to people in the government, 3 famous sportsmen, sportswomen and film stars. I ask people to tell me about 4 lives. I want to know how they feel.

    A lot of people want to work in TV news, 5 you have to be energetic and creative. You have to show that you 6 do it. You must learn how to use a video camera, to write reports, and to speak to the camera. What's the best 7 to learn? Your school or college TV station is a good place to 8, but you have to get a job!

    Most people start with an unpaid job, so they can 9. The best place to learn is at a small station. There aren't many people, and as a result, you get better 10. I had an unpaid job at a small station, and one night, when everyone else was ill, I read the news on air. I did well, and as a result, I got my first paid job!

In Cixi, Zhejiang province, every family was enjoying the May Day holiday. A middle-age d man put down his chopsticks and went out with a tool bag, leaving his wife at home. He is Qian Haijun who was honored the title of "Model of the Times" on May 6th 2022.

Qian Haijun is a worker who deals with electric problems. In the past 23 years, he has spent all his spare time in helping a number of families with electric problems. Qian Haijun has made 500 cards with his name and telephone number and handed them out so that people would know who to call when a problem comes. He answers every call at any time and values them very much. People often say he not only lights up the rooms, but also lights up their hearts. He also pays much attention to the group of elderly people over 60 who live on their own. He realizes that the elderly need companionship（陪伴） more than anything else. Over the past few years, he has become the"good son" of more than 100 elderly people. 

His stories were made into a mini movie, and even the Ningbo and Cixi Volunteer Service Centres are named after him. Under his leadership, more than 1200 volunteers have joined the project for the disabled, covering places like Zhejiang, Tibet, Guizhou and Sichuan. And they have provided help more than 30000 times. 

"I am a common person, I will never think about stopping offering help to people in need, and Iwill try my best to bring beauty to the world", he said. 

Do you know rice first came to China? There is an old Chinese story about it. It is about a little girl who went out to fish. At that time, there was very little food, so everybody was very hungry.

One day, when fishing, the little girl suddenly felt her fishing net get heavy. She was so happy! It was the King of Frogs that she found. When the frog heard how hungry the girl was, he wanted to help her. The frog told her to take out her fishing net and let the sun shine on it. The little girl followed his words. Then the King of Frogs began to sing a magic song. The girl was very surprised at what she saw. As the sun shone through the net, the sunlight turned into golden grains（谷粒）of rice. That was how the first rice arrived.

Maybe the story is not true, but it tells us rice is as important as gold to the Chinese. Rice is always one of the main foods on Chinese tables. For many years, much land has been used to grow rice and many Chinese people are farmers, who work very hard for each grain. So it's important not to waste food. Remember, Waste not, want not.
