Open Letter to an Editor

　　I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently－one who works for you．In fact, he's one of your best reporters．He wants to leave．

　　Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume(簡歷)and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you．The headlines showed you played them proudly．With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues(問題), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best．I'm sure you would hate to lose him．Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy．In fact, he told me he really likes his job．He has a great assignment(分工), and said you run a great paper．It would be easy for you to keep him, he said．He knows that the paper values him．He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom．

　　So why is he looking for a way out?

　　He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him．He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights．

　　The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is．

　　He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones．He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it．He wants to be more valuable for your paper．That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?

　　So your reporter has set me thinking．

　　Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists－everyone－is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential．If we can't do it, they'll find someone who can．

第一節(jié) (共15小題；每小題2分，滿分30分)
閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
BEIJING (AFP) — Archeologists in China have uncovered more than 3，000 dinosaur footprints，state media reported，in an area said to be the world’s largest grouping of fossilized hones belonging to the ancient animals．
The footprints，believed to be more than 100 million years old，were discovered after a three-month excavation(發(fā)掘、出土) at a gully in Zhucheng in the eastern province of Shandong，the Xinhua news agency reposed．   
The footprints range from 10 to 80 centimeters (4 to 32 inches) in length，and belonged to at least six different kinds of dinosaurs，including tyrannosaurs，the report said Saturday．
Wang Haijun，a senior engineer at the Chinese Academy of Sciences，said the footprints faced the same direction．Xinhua said．
This indicated a possible migration or a panic escape by plant-eating dinosaurs after an attack by predators(食肉動物)，Wang added．
Archeologists have found dinosaur fossils at some 30 sites in Zhucheng，known as“dinosaur city．”The region has seen two major digs since 1964，and experts say the discovery of so many dinosaurs in such a dense area could provide clues on how the animals became extinct millions of years ago．

A．most of the footprints are more than 32 centimeters long
B．the footprints found belong to some predators
