When Carly Williams was reporting on a farm in North Carolina, US, she laughed when a zebra(斑马)pushed its nose into her car.

Carly, 15, is a student at Nation Ford High, South Carolina and hopes to become a television anchor(主播). She is quickly making herself noticed.

Not long ago, she got a call from Teen Kids News, which is a weekly show that airs across the US. Carly had sent a few broadcasts she had done for her school news program to the show’s makes in New York. A producer contacted Carly and asked if she would like to work for the company.

“All I could say was, yes, yes, yes,”Carly said. “I didn’t even hesitate(犹豫).”

Carly said she became interested in broadcast journalism when she was in the sixth grade. One day, she heard that forest fires were burning nearby. After sports class, she went out into the forest and reported on the fires. She fell in love with broadasting, and from then on, she tried to do it as much as she could.

But despite doing what she loves, Carly has to face both good and bad comments from audience(听众)memebers.

“Everyone has a different opinion and I’ve always tried to tell Carly that you can’t listen to it,” said Lori Williams, a former CNN producer. “If it’s what you love to do, it will outshine everything else.”

Carly’s advice to other young broadcasters is to look for support from friends and family. “With every negative comment, there are five positive comments, and that’s how I think aobut it.” She said.

The first program Carly anchored was about an artist’s pumpkin patch. In the program, she asked teenagers what they thought of the artist’s work.

“I was a little nervous. I’m going through my lines thinking, ‘No pressure’,” Carly said.

She has also reported at a Coldplay concert and met Kathie Lee Gifford, an American TV host. Gifford told Carly to continue doing what she loves because “it will lead to big things”.

“Getting advice from her, especially, was absolutely awesome(棒极了),” Carly said.

On the day the tornado hit, there was no sign severe weather was on its way—the sky was blue and the sun had been out. My husband Jimmy and I were watching TV upstairs.

No sooner had we got the coverage of the tornado than it was on top of us. It was the loudest thing I have ever heard. The bones of the house shook, and the power went out. We had three flights of steps to get through to get to the relative safety of the first floor.

As we struggled to reach the last flight of steps, our front door blew out. Pieces of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere. Suddenly, a three-foot-long tree branch flew over our heads, missing us by inches. Had we been one step up, it would have impaled us.

By the time I reached the closet, Jimmy pushed me down to the closet floor, but he couldn’t get inside himself because of the wind. I grasped Jimmy’s arm and tried to bring Jimmy with it. My knees and head were full of glass, but in that moment, I felt no pain. If I had let go, Jimmy would have flown right out the back of the house and into the bay.

“Hold on! Hold on!” he yelled. But there was nothing in this closet to hold on to.

All of a sudden, Jimmy lifted off his feet like people in tornadoes do in the movies. I thought he was gone. And then everything stopped. He landed on his feet. In those first quiet moments, I couldn’t believe it was over. Jimmy said he’d go outside to check. “No,” I said. “Don’t leave me. Don’t leave me.”

Our neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes. In that time, four of the twelve town houses in our unit were completely destroyed. Of the houses left standing, ours suffered the most damage. Amazingly, none of us were severely injured.

A. It was the loudest thing I have ever heard.

C. Our neighbor says the storm lasted four minutes.

D. Pieces of glass that looked like crushed ice flew everywhere.

2.From the passage, we can infer that______.

A. The couple had predicted the arrival of the tornado in advance.

B. Jimmy flew right out the back of the house and into the bay during the tornado.

C. The three-foot-tree flew over the couple’s head and injured them badly.

D. The author still felt scared when the tornado was suddenly over.

3.Why did the author feel “no pain” in paragraph4?

A. She didn’t hurt badly enough to sense the pain.

B. She was severely injured and failed to sense the pain.

C. Her attention was fully focused on her husband.

D. She had let her husband go away from her hand.
