Living in the information time, we are faced with tons of news about our county and society every day. But what is true and what is false? There is a group of people whose job is to offer an official (官方的) voice and form a bridge between governments, the public and the media (媒体). These people are news spokespersons.

Spokespersons usual host news conference (会议), where they explain policies (政策) and answer questions from the media. According to Foreign Ministry spokesperson Geng Shuang, a news spokesperson is “a window into our county for the media, especially for the foreign media.”

To achieve this, news spokespersons are often experts in some fields. This way, they can clearly express these fields to the public.

For example, Wang Hui, the spokesperson for the Beijing government during the 2008 Olympics, was once a senior editor (编辑) at the Beijing TV station. She has lots of knowledge about how the media works. Mao Qun’an, who used to be a spokesperson for the Ministry of Heath, has a master’s degree in medicine. He helped a lot during the SARS illness of 2003.

Spokespersons also need to be able to think quickly. They often have to answer different kinds of questions from the media.

Spokespersons sometimes speak in their own style instead of always using official expressions. Here are a few examples.

It is easier to move a mountain than to shake the PLA. (Wu Qian)

What a waste of money it was for Japan to do so! (Yang Yujun)

Every year landslides cause 25 to 50 deaths and $2 billion in damage in the United States. And in December, a single event killed more than 2000 people in the Philippines. Sending workers to stabilize mountainsides using steel bars can help a lot, but it introduces new difficulties because of dust and loosen heavy, dangerous debris from the work. “It’s a quite dangerous job,” says Giorgio Pezzuto of D’ Appolonia, working with eight other companies. Now there may be an answer: a three-ton robot called Roboclimber.

“The idea is to operate a machine far away that can do the stabilizing job without a human being near,”says Pezzuto, manager for the project, which is supported by a European organization. Engineers say that the machine will be faster and cheaper than manual labor. The robot, a large radio-controlled four-legged spider, has cost at least $2 million so far. It should be able to climb mountainsides, drill holes and insert steel bars there. Testing should begin in May.

1.The underlined word “event” refers to_____

A. earthquake               B. debris             C. dust        D. landslide

2.The purpose in writing this text is _____

A. to tell people how serious the damage caused by landslides is

B. to tell people that sending workers to stabilize mountainsides is a dangerous job

C. to show people how to use a new robot

D. to introduce a new robot that can be used to stabilize mountainsides

3.What does the robot look like?

A. human being         B. spider            C. steel bar        D. a drill

4.A landslides cause _____________in damage in the United States Every year .

A. 25 to 50 deaths       B. more than 2000 people died

C. $2 billion           D. both A and C

5.The biggest advantage of this product is that____
