31、cruiting the brutal youths he wanted;he could get them right here inthe United States.I know,because I was one of them.As a teenager,Iran with a gang.And it took a frightening incident for me to see howviolent I had become.Paragraph2Paragraph2The incident was planned one Thursday night when I wasout

32、 with my friends.I was still going to school once in a while,but mostof my friends werent.We spent our days on the streets,talking,showingoff,sometimes shoplifting a little or shaking people down for a fewdollars.My friends and I were close,maybe because life hadnt been verygood to any of us.On this

34、 did not go as planned.(2)After about anhour,and after more wine and vodka,we spotted an old man.(3)He cameout of the glass door of the building and started up the street.(4)PineStreet had a lot of antique stores as well as apartment buildings.(5)Stuffing our bottles in our jacket pockets,we closed

36、Victor kicked him savagely,knocking him to the ground.(11)As we ran,I kept seeing him sprawled on the ground,blood from ourbeating trickling into his eyes.(12)Victor,the biggest of us,had said,“We want your money,old man.Hand it over.”Paragraph4Paragraph4Later,at home,I had a strong reaction to the

37、incident.My head would not stop pounding,and I threw up.I wasnt afraid of gettingcaught;in fact,we never did get caught.I just knew I had gone over somekind of line.I didnt know if I could step back,now that I had goneso far.But I knew I had to.I had seen plenty of people in my neighborhoodturn into

43、 2Passage 2Once Over Lightly:Local TV NewsOnce Over Lightly:Local TV NewsParagraph1Paragraph1Are local television newscasts a reliable source of news?Do they provide in-depth coverage and analysis of important local issues?Unfortunately,all too often they do not.While local TV newscasts canprovide a

44、 valuable community resource,too often programs provide mereentertainment at the expanse of solid news.In their battle for highratings,local programs emphasize news personalities at the expanse ofstories.Visual appeal has a higher priority than actual news.And storiesand reports are too brief and sh

45、allow.Paragraph2Paragraph2(1)Local TV newscasters are as much the subject of thenews as are the stories they present.(2)Nowhere is this more obvious thanin weather reports.(3)Weatherpersons spend valuable news time joking,drawing cartoons,chatting about weather fronts as“good guys”and“badguys,”and d

46、ispensing weather trivia such as statistics about relativehumidity and record highs and lows fro the date.(4)Reporters,too,drawattention to themselves.Rather than just getting the story,the reportersare shown jumping into or getting out of helicopters to get the story.(5)When reporters interview cri

47、me victims or the residents of poorneighborhoods,the camera angle typically includes them and theirreaction as well astheir subjects.(6)When they report on a storm,theystand outside in the storm,their styled hair blowing,so we can admirehow they“brave the elements.”(7)Then there are the anchorperson

48、s,whoare chosen as much for their looks as their skills.(8)They too dilutethe news by putting their personalities at center stage.Paragraph3Paragraph3Often the selection of stories andthe way they arepresented are based on visual impact rather than news value.If a storyis not accompanied by an inter

49、esting film clip,it is not likely to beshown on the local news.The result is an overemphasis on fires and carcrashes and little attention to such important issues as the economy.Atractor-trailer spill on the highway slightly injuries one person andinconveniences motorists for only an hour.But becaus

50、e it providesdramatic pictures-the big truck on its side,its load spilled,emergencypersonnel running around,lots of flashing on its side,its load spilled,emergency personnel running around,lots of flashing lights-it is givengreater emphasis in thelocal newscast than arise in localtaxes,whichhas far
