Every morning, the newspaper chief editor（主编） holds a meeting with the reporters. They discuss the main events（事件） of the day. Reporters are then sent to cover the events.
As soon as the reporters know what to write about, they get down to work. They telephone people and fix a time for a face-to-face interview with them. Sometimes they do telephone interviews. Checking information is very important. They go to the newspaper's own library to look up any information that they need. This is called “doing one's homework”.
At the same time, the picture editor decides which photographs will be used for the next day's paper. All the people who work on a newspaper must be able to work fast. Reporters have to stop working on one story and start working at once on the important new one. They must find out the new information as quickly as possible. Later in the day, everything is put together at the news desk. Reporters return, type their stories into the computer and hand them to the editor.
The chief editor decides which will be the most important story on the front page. Sometimes this will have to be changed if something more important happens late in the day. Other editors read the stories which the reporters have written and make any necessary changes.
Finally, there is no more time left for adding new stories, and the time for printing（印刷） the newspaper has come. This is done on fast-moving printing machines. The newspapers are then delivered（发送） by truck, plane or rail. Speed is important. People want to buy the latest newspaper; nobody wants to buy yesterday's.

Westerners think that the education ways in many Chinese families are hard to understand. Here are some examples.
Many children in China are looked after by their grandfathers and grandmothers because their parents are busy. But children need to stay and communicate with their parents.
Parents pay no attention to the rights (权利) of children. Parents should knock at the door before they go into the room of their children. (1)They shouldn’t move their children’s things before they agree. Parents should communicate with children and respect (尊重) the rights and decisions of them. Children who are not respected also do not know how to respect others.
(2) Parents often their children others. Most Chinese parents want their children to be successful, because it can save the parents’ face. Parents often say “You see somebody else is studying hard, what good grades they have, and what prizes they get”. This is the worst thing. It will only bring the child much harm and pain.
Many children are made to do what their parents expect, though they do not like it. For example, parents ask their children to learn to play the piano or go abroad. It should be decided by children themselves.
The more hard-working, the better. Many parents think school performance is everything. In fact, the integrated（综合）ability is so important that it will affect children all their lives.将（1）句译成中文。
