very many people who seriously read a newspaper every day.Most people only read the sports pages,the advice or the gossip columns,the comics,and perhaps the classified advertisements.Most people dont take time to read real news.Editors attempt to catch readers interest with pictures and exciting headlines.These techniques are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper.The first page attracts attention and encourages readers to look through the rest of the paper.This is why editors always look for a good first page story and a headline to make them stop and look.If the headline is horrible enough,frightening enough or wild enough,perhaps they will go on to read the front page.They may read the headlines,but that is all,and then they turn to the sports page,or comics,or advertisements.It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper anymore.They say they get the news on television now.More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper.What about you?Do you read news from a newspaper?Do you think it is easier to get news from television?Or do you care about news at all?Would you mind if there were no news?1.According to the passage,newspapers are .A.more popular todayB.less popular todayC.as popular as beforeD.getting more and more popular答案:B解析:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第一句“Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past.”可知,如今報(bào)紙的地位已不如從前。2.We can know from the passage that newspaper editors think the important part of a newspaper is .A.the front pageB.the sports pageC.the headlinesD.the classified advertisements答案:A解析:推理判斷題。文章第一段提到新聞編輯往往采用一些令人感興趣的圖片和標(biāo)題來(lái)吸引讀者注意,而這些技巧一般被用在報(bào)紙的頭版。3.According to the author,which of the following newspapers will most probably attract readers attention?A.The ones with interesting pictures and exciting headlines on the front page.B.The ones with sports news on the front page.C.The ones with classified ads on the front page.D.The ones with gossip columns on the front page.答案:A解析:推理判斷題。由第一段可知,報(bào)紙編輯往往用一些圖片和令人感興趣的標(biāo)題來(lái)吸引讀者注意。4.The authors attitude toward newspapers is .A.sympatheticB.criticalC.negativeD.undetermined答案:A解析:作者態(tài)度題。由文章的第一句話(huà)可知作者對(duì)報(bào)紙今非昔比的狀況似乎有點(diǎn)感慨,作者認(rèn)為報(bào)紙應(yīng)該受到人們更多的關(guān)注。BFor some kids,the news on TV can be difficult to understand.Dont worry!Here comes Linda Ellerbee.She is a well-known journalist behind Nickelodeons Nick News,a special TV program for kids.As the shows creator and reporter,Ellerbee talks

Today,interviewed Ellerbee in New York City.Ellerbee wore her favorite orange shoesthe same pair she wears in the programfor the special occasion.When asked why she started Nick News,Ellerbees answer is simple.“Kids have a right to know,” she says.“And they already do know,but maybe not all the facts.”She looks at her job on Nick News as more than just a news reporter.She says that its her duty to explain the news and help children understand what has really happened.Ellerbee tries to balance bad news with good news,too.“Behind each sad story,theres always someone or something trying to make it better,” she explains.Besides important events,Nick News also reports the things that are going on in the world of kids.When deciding what to talk about in the program,Ellerbee says,“We think:What big

Here are some ways not to lose hope during difficult times.Have faith.2 No matter how bad the situation is,things will turn out to be good in the end.Several years ago I failed to get my masters degree.It was a really bad experience.3 It was of much better quality than my previous university.Experiences like this strengthen my belief that having faith is important during difficult times.Be around supportive people.Going through difficult times is hard,and going through them alone is even harder.You need a group of positive people who can support you.4 If you dont,my suggestion is to start looking for one.Dont wait until you need it,because it will be too late by then.You need the community before difficult times come.Help others.An additional benefit of being in a good community is that it encourages you to think about other people.It pushes you to help others and,therefore,think about other people.5 As a result,your situation wont look as bad as it would be otherwise.Often the situation looks worse than it really is because we give too much attention.Shifting(移開(kāi)) some of your attention away will put the situation in a better view.A.Your community helps a lot.B.I changed my attitude towards failure.C.Whatever it is,its important not to lose hope.D.In
