     A newspaper reporter's job can be very interesting.He meets all types of people and lives quite a busy life.
He is on the rush for news all the time,then after several years he may get a desk job,and life becomes a bit
more settled.Let's look at his work a little more closely.In a day he may have to interview the prime minister
of a foreign country,and the next day he may be writing about a football match.Sometimes he may be so
busy that he has hardly any time to sleep.And at other times he may go on for days looking out for news
materials yet return empty-handed.
     In the beginning,a reporter has to cover a very wide field.After the early years he becomes more
specialized in his work.For example,he may finally be asked to write only on court cases or politics or sports.
Some reporters may become so specialized that they are asked only to write on a special thing:horse racing,
for example.In most newspaper houses there is at least one special racing correspondent.Some newspapers
have book reviews.Their job is delightful.They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they
like.Then there are those who write on films,so they get to see them even before they are shown in the
cinema.How lucky,you would say!
     A reporter's job can also be very dangerous.A number of them have died rushing from one assignment to
another,and if there is a flood or a riot (暴乱) they may get hurt or even be killed.Three years ago there was
a reporter whose camera was smashed by a group of men,because they were angry with him for taking their
picture.Dangerous or not,one thing is certain,and that is,their job is never dull!
