Unit6 Where Is the News Leading Us?不久前我应邀参加了一次有关美国报业的作用的公众研讨会。
还有另外两个嘉宾也出席了。
一位是知名的电视节目主持人，另一位是美国一家主要报纸的编辑，他是一位彻头彻尾的新闻工作者---- 在据实报道的方式上坚忍不拔、积极进取且见识过人。
据我所知本次研讨旨在审查传媒的义务，并提出实现那些义务的最佳途径。
在公开讨论时，观众席中的一位男士向两位嘉宾提问，“为什么报纸和电视新闻节目都充斥灾难？为什么新闻界的男男女女对悲剧、暴力、和失败是如此关注？”主持人和编辑作出了回答，好像是自己应该为坏消息的存在而受到谴责一样。
他们说，新闻工作者只负责报道新闻，而不负责制造或修改新闻。
我不认为这两位新闻工作者回答了这个问题。
提出这个问题的先生并没有因为世上的歪曲报道而谴责他们。
他只是想知道为什么报道得最多的是歪曲的事件。
新闻媒体的运作理念似乎是凡是新闻皆坏事。
为什么呢？是不是着重报道负面新闻是一种传统——是新闻工作者所习以为常的对日常事件作出的反应方式？在此或许分析一下我们如何定义“新闻”一词会有所帮助，因为这是问题的起因。
新闻应该是报道过去十二小时，最迟二十四小时内所发生的事情。
然而，突发事件往往具有爆炸性的：一名狙击手枪杀了几名行人，一名恐怖分子劫持了飞机上250名人质，欧佩克石油组织宣布原油价格上涨25%，英国货币又贬值10%，一辆载有放射性废料的卡车与一架水泥搅拌车相撞。
然而，一味聚焦这些报道，则是失真的画面。
人类文明成果远远多于灾难总和。
每种文明中最重要的成分就是进步。
但进步不会立即发生，也没有爆发性。
一般来说，它是一点一滴逐步发展的，在某个特定时刻是微不足察的。
但是所有微小的进步都参与了历史性的巨变的实现，使社会更加美好。
就是这类活生生的历史，绝大多数的新闻媒体没有予以充分的反映，结果导致我们对社会的正面发展了解不足，对灾难却知之甚多，这又使人产生失败和绝望的情绪，而这些情绪易于阻碍社会进步。

选8UNIT2 Cloning-Where is it leading us译文
Unit2 克隆：它将把我们引向何方？克隆一直与我们同在，而如今它还要持续下去。
这是一种用来生产与原型完全相同的动植物的方法。
当园艺师从生长着的植物上剪下枝条来培植新植物时，就会产生这种现象。
这种现象也发生在动物身上，从同一个原生卵子产生性别和相貌相同的双胞胎也是克隆。
实际上，这些都是自然克隆现象。
克隆技术有两大用途。
第一，园艺师一直用它生产大量的供商用的植物；第二，它在对新植物物种的研究以及对动物的医学研究方面都是很有价值的。
克隆植物简单，但克隆动物就比较复杂了，是一项很难完成的任务。
克隆哺乳动物的多次尝试都失败了。
但是，科学家的决心和耐心最终得到了回报，这就是1996年具有突破性的克隆羊“多莉”的诞生。
它的程序如下图所示：1．母羊(A)提供一个卵细胞。
2．在卵细胞中取出细胞核。
3．卵细胞准备接受新的细胞核。
4．母羊(B)提供一个供克隆的躯干细胞。
该细胞核应包含生产一头新羊所需要的全部基因。
5．取出该细胞的细胞核。
6．用电把母羊(B)的躯干细胞核和母羊(A)的卵细胞结合起来。
7．细胞分裂并生长成胚胎。
8．把胚胎植入另外一头母羊(C)体内，母羊(C)就是克隆羊的代孕者。
9．这头小羔羊就是母羊(B)所提，供的细胞核克隆而成的。
一方面，整个科学界都在关注着首例成功的克隆动物多莉羊的成长¨多莉看来是在正常地成长着，这很令人鼓舞。
接着传来了多莉病重的坏消息。
研究克隆的科学家发现多莉得的病更容易发生在年老的羊身上．这让他们很沮丧。
多莉总共只存活了六年半，这是它的原型羊寿命的一半。
可悲的是，同样无法控制的命运也在影响着其他物种，如克隆鼠。
科学家的脑海里产生的问题是：“这是不是所有克隆动物的一个主要困难呢？这种现象会不会永远发生？如果改进程序，问题会不会解决？另一方面，多莉的出生引起了一阵强烈的反对，对媒体和公众的想象力也产生了巨大的影响。
它引起了争议，因为它突然打开了人们的眼界，看到了有可能：用克隆技术来治疗重病，甚至克隆出人类。
Where Is The News Leading Us
Where Is The News Leading UsEvery day, our ears are full of news. There is no exaggeration that we live on news, because we are on the information society. We hear the news from our friends, from the internet, even from passers-by. However, has anybody ever thought about where is the news leading us?A few weeks ago, I packed up my things to have a trip alone. Not knowing what was the weather like, I couldn’t decide which kind of clothes should I take, the warm clothes or light clothes. So, I checked the weather forecast. According to the weather forecast which said it would be cold in a few days, I made up my mind to take the warm clothes. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t get cold but become warmer. As a result, I had to buy some thin clothes. Spending some money on my clothes, I had not enough money for my journey, and I had no choice but to save money from my budget on meals. Of course, I would not tell my parents about that, so they just knew that I had a very good time.After knowing my story, have you figured out where is the news leading us? As a matter of fact, the news leads us to where it wants. The news give out the order, and we carry out its order. What’s terrible is we don’t even realize it . When the weather forecast said it would be cold, I immediately packed up my warm clothes. When I told my parents that I had a good time during the journey, they just believed. We follow the mews, and the news leads us to where it wants . What’s worse, we followthe news blindly, causing a great deal of trouble, like the useless warm clothes I brought, like my clumsy journey.From the story, we should remind ourselves of paying much attention to the news we get. When we get a news whatever it is good or bad, we must calm ourselves down first, and then think about its reality rationally, after that we can take measures. Always remember to think twice before we act, otherwise, we may be in trouble. There is no lack of examples that people do many stupid things leading by the news. Such as the very high price of mung bean rising by some rumor that mung beans can cure disease. It is the bad business man who wants to earn money that spread the wrong news. We follow the wrong news, and the news leads us to the trap.Living on the news, we may be misled by them. We must be smart enough to figure out the useful one, or else the news will lead us to where it wants.。

Argument Combined with Other Patterns of Development
Definition of Argument
Argument is a reason or a set of reasons given with the aim of convincing others that an action or idea is right or wrong or persuading others to believe in something.
Are they, knowingly or unknowingly, influencing the attitude of the public towards what they are reporting in particular or even their outlook on life in general?
In some arguments, the author's position is presented at the beginning of his writing and then he goes on to support it in various ways. Or the author may present his argument at the end of his writing as the result of logical inference. But neither of these is the way in which Cousins organizes his essay. It is somewhere near the middle ofesentation of his viewpoint.

If news is defined exclusively as what has happened in the past 24 hours, it can only be the eruptive happenings, thus only the disasters. Human progress is not eruptive for it happens only in bits and pieces. But these positive events are also news and should by all means be covered by the media (Paras. 7 & 8), thus his argument presented in Para. 9.
