26、Many people criticise today’s newspapers as sensationalist, satisfying the public’s abnormal curiosity. But journalism a century ago was just as notorious (臭名昭著).Publishers at that time routinely competed with each other for wild stories that could draw in the most readers. Meanwhile, it was an ideal atmosphere for a courageous reporter like Nellie Bly to spring into fame.
Bly, whose name was Elizabeth Cochran, had to work to make her way in the world. Different from many women of the time, however, she refused to let the working world scare her away. Her first big opportunity as a reporter came in 1885 after she wrote an angry letter denouncing the Pittsburgh Dispatch for an article it had run criticising women forced to work outside the home. The interested and excited editor hired Bly for her “spirit”, and soon she was investigating the situations of female factory workers. Bly cared less about their jobs than their lives after work — their amusements, their motivations, their fears and ambitions. She produced an article totally different from what other reporters of the time were writing: personal, thoughtful, meaningful.
By 1887 Bly had a job with the New York World, one of the leader papers of the day. She quickly became famous for undercover stories about women in a mental hospital. Soon she had investigated life as a maid, a chorus girl, and even a street girl. In her best-known brave deeds, in 1890, Bly beat the famous “around the world in 80 days” trip Jules Verne had described in his novel. Travelling by steamship, train, even ricksha, Bly reported from each stop. A spellbound nation hung on every word. Only 25, Bly had become internationally famous.
【1】Bly’s first newspaper job was ________.
A.with the New York World
B.with the Pittsburgh Dispatch
C.to interview mental patients
D.to experience life of chorus girls
【2】What does the underlined word “denouncing” in Para. 2 probably mean?
A.Praising.
B.Questioning.
C.Informing.
D.Condemning.
【3】Which of the following best describes Nellie Bly?
A.Daring and practical.
B.Acute and confident.
C.Critical and dependent.
D.Calm and enthusiastic.

29、Packing Tips for Travel
Packing smart and light is quite necessary for a comfortable trip. Light baggage ensures trouble-free travel. Here are some essential packing tips to help you enjoy your travel.
Regular use/handy items. Regular use or your personal handy items need to be taken instantly or separated from the luggage whenever required. 【1】. And then start packing them after clothes and valuables. Include some useful items such as ear drops, eye masks, medicines, a small towel, and scissors (less than 6 inches).
Vacuum(真空) and space bags. It is not surprising that the entire packaging may be done just with vacuum bags, space bags, and plastic bags. Being airtight and waterproof, these bags provide great room for storage. They can fit in stuff three to four times greater than conventional bags. 【2】.
Family packing tips. Often those travelling with kids tend to believe that they might require a whole range of products for their kids. 【3】. Try to carry only the essential items and leave the rest that can be bought outside. You can download apps for kids that do not require the Internet connection. This will keep them engaged on the route without carrying a range of toys.
【4】. When it comes to clothing for women, having a choice of common colors is great, as they can mix and match outfits. A set of lightweight tops and jeans is ideal for both indoor and outdoor. Bring a set of waist coats, long sleeves, and pants for formal wears. 【5】, as they tend to be heavy. Instead, try fashionable sneakers, which give good comfort to your feet.
