22、Peter Eastland has a master’s degree in chemistry. But he also has an extremely sharp sense of smell, which allows him to identify more than 15 smell types. Car maker Nissan recognizes his talent and appoints him the “smell evaluation lead engineer”at its European Technical Centre in Bedfordshire.
Jokingly known as the “Nose of Nissan”, Peter’s job is to ensure the consumers’ experience isn’t affected by any unpleasant smells. “We aim to provide the best sensory (感官的) experience for customers. While tastes and preferences change over time, smell remains unchanged. Therefore, it is part of our job to make sure that any material we use is always going to be perfect in terms of smell and that all of the senses are harmonized (协调的),” he said.
Working with the Nissan engineering and producing teams, Peter and his team test all the materials, such as the soft material used for the new 3D seats in a variety of conditions to copy real-world environments. They have to consider that the chemical qualities of these materials, such as smell, can change according to temperature. If a potential new material or chemical is found to negatively affect the overall atmosphere in the car, Peter and his colleagues have to identify alternatives (可替代事物)to ensure the smell of new cars.
David Moss, senior vice president of the company, said, “Months of work is devoted carefully to analyzing the use of materials and chemicals, such as seat fabric and rubber. This is to ensure that they don’t combine to produce an unpleasant smell for the car’s owners. Peter and his team go to great lengths to make the ownership experience of any new Nissan exactly what our customers hope and ехресt.”

24、 Journalism (新闻业) is a fast-paced industry, requiring reporters to get the facts about newsworthy events and to write about them before a deadline (截止日期). It takes some skills to do this. At the same time, news reporters must follow strict requirements and have a deep understanding of news writing.
Know what you’re going to write about. Newsworthy events can happen anytime and anywhere. So reporters need to develop a good nose for news.
Get all the facts and look at the details. Be sure to look at a story from different angle (角度). Even if you are covering a popular story or topic that others are writing about, look for an angle that will make this one yours.
Check facts to avoid mistakes. Sources may also make mistakes and some may even deceive you. It’s wise to get in touch with other sources. In a shooting incident, for example, getting the facts from the police and from both the criminal (罪犯) and victim isn’t enough. You should also interview other witnesses who may give more information about the incident. Interviewing people and getting a firsthand source on your topic can be valuable.
Start writing the news. When it comes to the body of the article, the main information should be given in the leading statement. It is often a short one, including the basics of what happened, where and when it took place, who was involved and why it’s newsworthy. These details are the main point that informs the reader. Other information about the story follows. This form allows editors to cut off the last paragraphs if there’re space limits.
Check your article for mistakes. If time permits, leave the article for a moment and then read through it again with a fresh eye. Newspaper publications usually have someone check for mistakes but keep in mind that you’re the first line of defense. Grammar mistakes are embarrassing (令人尴尬的), and some mistakes may result in a lawsuit(诉讼).
【1】What can we learn about journalism from the first paragraph?
A.It is developing fast.
B.It is very challenging.
C.It is very interesting.
D.It is popular worldwide.
【2】What does the underlined word “deceive” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A.Warn.
B.Assist.
C.Interest.
D.Cheat.
【3】What should a good news article be like according to Paragraph 5?
A.It begins with a summary.
B.It ends with a happy ending.
C.It has enough smart questions.
D.It gives opinions about the event.
【4】How can a reporter avoid getting embarrassed by his news report?
A.By choosing a proper topic.
B.By checking it for grammar mistakes.
C.By filling it with enough details.
D.By removing boring facts from it.
