When most people think about the "American culture", images of Coca-Cola, hot dogs, baseball
games, big cars come to mind. Actually, American culture is more than that, and it’s history features

the southerners are known for their hospitality, language and food.
Southerners' hospitality is very famous in the world. People who live in the South are very nice
and are always willing to help another person in any way they can. If someone is from out of town
and needs directions to a certain place, Southerners will make sure he or she knows how to get there.

him or her. Towns in the South have fewer people and everyone knows everyone. The people in the
South are nicer than anywhere else in the United States.
Language in the South varies according to which area someone is in and what the person's
background is. Most white people have a country draw in the accent. Most black people talk using
Ebonies(黑人英语)，but some do have a draw in their accent. The other groups talk in their native
languages or in English with an obvious accent. The languages in the South are alike in most places
except in Southern Louisiana.
The South's food is like no other places. It is colourful, has a wonderful smell that fills the
whole house and tastes good. All the things that the Southerners use will wake up one's taste and are

Journalists are the major group of people who make their living from writing. Many young
people who see themselves as future novelists choose journalism as a way of earning a living while
developing their writing skills. Although writing for newspapers and writing for books require
different qualities, the aspiration （志向）to be a great writer is not one to be discouraged in a
would-be journalist.
Most people want their work to be recognized by others. This helps to give it value. Some
people also want themselves to be recognized, so that they have status in the eyes of society. It is not
a bad motive to wish to be famous, but this must never become your main reason for being a
journalist. You will not be a good journalist if you care more for impressing your audience than for
serving their needs.
Knowing the power of the printed or spoken word or image, some people enter journalism for
the power it will give them to influence people. There is a strong belief that journalists control the
mass media but the best journalists recognize their role as servants of the people. There is a
difference between the desire to influence events for your own sake, and the desire to do it for other
people. You should never use journalism for selfish ends, but you can use it to improve the life of
other people.
Curiosity is a natural part of most people's characters and an important ingredient for any
journalist. Lots of young men and women enter the profession with the desire to know more about
the world without needing to specialize in limited fields of study. Most journalists tend to know a
little bit about a lot of things, rather than a lot about one subject. Knowledge has many uses. It can
simply help to make you a fuller and more interesting person. It can also give you power over
people, especially people who do not have that particular knowledge. Always bear in mind that
power can be used in a positive way to improve people's lives,
8. What can we know from the first paragraph?
A. Journalism can be used as a means to improve writing.
B. Writing for newspapers is similar to writing for novels.
C. Most of the journalists make a living by writing books.
D. Journalists are most likely to become great writers.
9. Why do some people want themselves to be recognized?
A. To learn rich knowledge. B. To get great power.
C. To earn much wealth. D. To gain high position.
10. What is most necessary for journalists according to Paragraph 4?
A. Being specialized in a certain field.
B. Being able to speak a foreign language well.
C. Being good at making friends with others.
