题目内容
_______ professional pianist practises for several hours a day, but _______ has his own way of playing the Beethoven music.?
A. Each;every B. Every;each?
C. All;every D. Either;every?
B?
解析:
虽然every与each在汉语中的词义是“每一个”,但这两个词的词性不同,every是形容词,而each既是形容词,也是代词。every与all含义很接近,如:He has read every book/all books on the subject.(有关这个科目的书籍他全都读过了。)英文中常用every进行概括,强调事物或人的总体性。而each则强调个体概念,当我们说each pianist时,我们想到的是每个不同的人做着不同的事。句意为“每个专业的钢琴家每天都练习几个小时,但他们每个人都有自己独特的演奏贝多芬音乐的方式”。
Open Letter to an Editor
I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently --- one who works for you. In fact, he's one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.
Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume(简历) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues(问题), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I'm sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment (分工), and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.
So why is he looking for a way out?
He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.
The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.
He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?
So your reporter has set me thinking.
Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists --- everyone --- is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can't do it, they'll find someone who can.
