26、ars he becomes more specialized in his work. For example, he may finally be asked to write only on court cases or politics or sports.

27、ne special racing correspondent（通訊記者）. Some newspapers have book reviews. Their job is delightful. They read the latest book and then write reviews on the ones they like. Then there are those who write on films, so they get to see them even before they are shown in the cinema. How lucky, you would s

28、ay! A reporters job can also be very dangerous. A number of them have died rushing from one assignment to another, and if there is a flood or a riot(暴亂) they may get hurt or even be killed.

32、allenge.

This is the top prediction of both Nokia a

33、nd Google. They predict（預測）that our cars and home appliances（家用電器）will be able to communicate with our mobile.

34、ad accident up ahead. The second trend is in gesture-based controls（手勢控制）. People who know the iPhones touch - sensitive screen are already familiar with the technology.

40、edD. nervousC “What If” questions can help you think about what to do in case anything should happen. There are no right answers because every case is different.
