An 11-year-old girl from Belthangady, India, recently made news headlines for having around 60 dead ants pulled from her eyes. As for how the insects got there, some doctors thought they

entered her body through the ears.

Last week, the girl, known only as Ashwini, started complaining of severe pain in her eyes. She told her parents that she felt there was something stuck in her eyes, and when they checked, they did find a small ant in one of her eyes. They didn’t pay much importance to it, as they assumed the insect had gotten there by accident, but it wasn’t long before the girl again started reporting pain in her eyes. They discovered more dead ants, and this time, they took her to hospital.

A local doctor told Ashwini’s parents that the insects must have first entered her body through the ears and then somehow made their way to her eyes. He gave her some eye-drops to help with the irritation（刺激）, but the girl still has 5 to 6 ants pulled from her eyes daily. A week ago, the Daily Mail reported that Ashwini’s eyes produced around 60 dead ants in a period of 10 days.

As doctors in Belthangady were left scratching their heads about how the ants reached Ashwini’s eyes or what they could do to stop the unusual phenomenon, she was taken to an eye hospital in Moodabidri, where her family hope to get some answers.

IB Times reports that Ashwini’s parents feared she had been affected by some evil spirit, so they also took her to an astrologer who told them that the ants in the eyes were caused by （占星家）something called Naga Dosha. But who knows? 24. Why did Ashwini recently make news headlines? A. Because of her love for insects. B. Because of her extraordinary skills. C. Because of her strange experience. D.

C. being optimistic about D. feeling puzzled about

27. What can be inferred about Ashwini from the text? A. Her eyes no longer produce dead ants. B. Eye-drops are of little help to her eyes. C. The dead ants cause no harm to her eyes. D. Only the astrologer has found out the truth.

I like writing; I like meeting people; I like discovering new things, then telling everyone about

them; and I couldn’t keep a secret if you paid me. So I became a journalist.

I wrote for my school magazine, did unpaid work on my local paper, took a master’s degree, got a part-time job, and then became a full-time journalist.

Or at least that is what my resume would say; but the life of a journalist is more exciting than that---even if that excitement can come with a side of pain and frustration.

I have lost count of the numbers of e-mails I have had ignored. I have spent hours at meetings listening as hard as I could for a story---only to go home empty-handed.

Once I ran around knocking on doors in a dark, dangerous-looking street in the snow to find a woman who (my editor had told me) “woke at night to find water pouring on her head”. Somehow I found her. I took photos. I interviewed her, the building owner and the fireman. I wrote the story then I opened the paper to find it at the back, which on name on it, only 100 words long.

Strangely, though, that challenge made me want to keep going. If you do succeed, the rewards of journalism are truly great.

I once wrote about an old people’s home where residents, including a 90-year-old blind man, were living in rooms that were full of fleas, and being told to do their own repairs. A week after the story was published, the residents phoned me, overjoyed. The managers had apologized and promised to change their ways.

Journalism can be dangerous and dull, and the pay (at least in the UK) is usually terrible. But it’s also one of the most thrilling, rewarding jobs around. For me, there is no better career than making a difference and telling the world about it. 28. What is the article mainly about?

A. Getting started in a career in journalism B. The author’s colorful experiences as a journalist. C. How you can be a good journalist. D. Why life is easier for male journalist.

29. According to the author, her frustration in her job often comes from_______. A. unfair treatment B. fruitless efforts C. misunderstanding D. danger and risks

30. What deeply attracts the author as a journalist is that _______. A. she gets to see her name printed B. she earns a lot through writing fun stories C. she can meet different people and hear their stories

D. she can help others and bring about changes in people’s lives 31. From the article we can conclude that the author_______. A. is not good at keeping secrets. B. does not mind the challenges in her career.
