The British NewspaperFor most British people, most day begin with a look at the morning news day begin with a look at the morning newspaper. The newspaper plays an important role to people for getting the latest information through the whole country and all over the world.The United Kingdom has one of the world’s oldest established newspaper industries. In the late 18th and early 19th century, as the British economy began to industrialise, as the democratic franchise was extended to larger segments of the population, and as literacy levels rose through the introduction of masseducation ,more and more newspaper began to appear.The British newspaper industries can devided into two parts : the giants just like The Observer, The Times, The Guardian .They are famous for their instant and authenticity of news , the content extremely rich and it classifies clearly into many parts : politics , economy, education, art ,sport and so on .The most readers are Congressman, government officials, the upper intellectuals, entrepreneurs and financiers .And we had to mention at first is the Times, which regarded as the first newspaper in the world, was established in 1785 by John Walter , and its development has a long and winding road ,but now has great influence to the world. It once was called the Daily Universal Register at first, then changed the name to Times in 1788 until today. it was called as The most authoritative newspaper. The Observer, which is still published every Sunday, first appeared in 1791, making it the world’s oldest national newspaper. The Guardian, also one of the famous newspaper, which established in 1959, but once it was regarded as the United Kingdom’s left wing newspaper because of their views on the politic .On the other side, another part consists of some small format newspaper, which colour photos and catchy headlines .They are often called” the gutter press”because they deal in scandals and gossip . Usually about famous people, whether in politics, sports or entertainment, and carry lots of crime, sports and sensational human interest stories. The stories are short, easy to read and often rely more on opinion than facts.With society development, British newspaper still suggest that the function of the paper is to offer the electorate objective reports about what is happening in the country and the in the world. However, they have changed a lot, not only the whole style of their pages, but also the ways to report news. Journalism nowadays in not an objective recording of facts, but the writing of stories which are written to put across a particular view. And the most significant change is that the British newspaper now builds the online newspaper follow the world trend of spreading news more easily through computers.No matter how the changes the British newspaper made, It still be one often the most important resource of getting information and will never disapper.。

给英国报纸写信英语作文标题，Letter to a British Newspaper。

Dear Editor,。

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to express my thoughts on a matter that has been of concern to me and many others recently.Firstly, allow me to introduce myself. My name is [Your Name], and I am a concerned citizen who closely follows the current affairs, both locally and globally. As a reader of your esteemed publication, I have always admired the dedication of your team in providing insightful and balanced coverage of various issues.However, there is one topic that I feel deserves more attention in your newspaper: the importance of environmental conservation and sustainable practices. In today's world, where climate change poses a significantthreat to our planet and its inhabitants, it is imperative that we all take proactive steps to mitigate its effects.I have noticed that while your newspaper does cover environmental issues, they often take a backseat to other news stories. While I understand the need to cover a diverse range of topics, I believe that the environment should be given more prominence in your publication. By raising awareness about environmental issues, you can play a crucial role in inspiring positive change and encouraging readers to take action.Moreover, I would like to see more in-depth and investigative reporting on environmental issues. This could include stories about the impact of deforestation on biodiversity, the role of corporations in exacerbating climate change, and innovative solutions being implemented to combat environmental degradation. By providing comprehensive coverage of these issues, you can help educate your readers and empower them to make informed decisions about their own environmental footprint.In addition to news coverage, I would also like to see your newspaper take a more active role in promoting sustainable practices. This could involve publishing articles about eco-friendly lifestyle choices, highlighting businesses that prioritize environmental sustainability, and offering practical tips for reducing carbon emissions. By leading by example, you can inspire your readers to adopt more sustainable habits in their daily lives.Furthermore, I believe that your newspaper has a responsibility to hold policymakers and corporations accountable for their environmental actions. This could involve conducting investigative reports on instances of environmental pollution or lobbying for stronger regulations to protect our planet. By speaking truth to power, you can help ensure that the voices of ordinary citizens are heard and that meaningful action is taken to address environmental challenges.In conclusion, I urge you to give greater prominence to environmental issues in your newspaper and to take a more proactive stance in promoting sustainability. By doing so,you can harness the power of journalism to drive positive change and create a better future for generations to come.Thank you for taking the time to consider my suggestions. I look forward to seeing more comprehensive coverage of environmental issues in your publication in the future.Yours sincerely,。

A:Because it is,and alsoto read.
ⅡClass the following news
宋以后，京师所设小学馆和武学堂中的教师称谓皆称之为“教谕”。至元明清之县学一律循之不变。明朝入选翰林院的进士之师称“教习”。到清末，学堂兴起，各科教师仍沿用“教习”一称。其实“教谕”在明清时还有学官一意，即主管县一级的教育生员。而相应府和州掌管教育生员者则谓“教授”和“学正”。“教授”“学正”和“教谕”的副手一律称“训导”。于民间，特别是汉代以后，对于在“校”或“学”中传授经学者也称为“经师”。在一些特定的讲学场合，比如书院、皇室，也称教师为“院长、西席、讲席”等。
Q2.Why do many people like the bigger size of quality papers?
A: It shows.
Q3. How about the change of quality newspapers?
A: Some quality newspapers.
Q4. Why do some people like having a quality newspaper that has the tabloid size?
Quality newspapers
“教书先生”恐怕是市井百姓最为熟悉的一种称呼，从最初的门馆、私塾到晚清的学堂，“教书先生”那一行当怎么说也算是让国人景仰甚或敬畏的一种社会职业。只是更早的“先生”概念并非源于教书，最初出现的“先生”一词也并非有传授知识那般的含义。《孟子》中的“先生何为出此言也？”；《论语》中的“有酒食，先生馔”；《国策》中的“先生坐，何至于此？”等等，均指“先生”为父兄或有学问、有德行的长辈。其实《国策》中本身就有“先生长者，有德之称”的说法。可见“先生”之原意非真正的“教师”之意，倒是与当今“先生”的称呼更接近。看来，“先生”之本源含义在于礼貌和尊称，并非具学问者的专称。称“老师”为“先生”的记载，首见于《礼记?曲礼》，有“从于先生，不越礼而与人言”，其中之“先生”意为“年长、资深之传授知识者”，与教师、老师之意基本一致。Tabloids

Newspapers in Britain and the United States

Newspapers in Britain and the United States Newspapers in Britain can be divided into the quality press (more serious newspapers) and the popular press. Quality newspapers have home and international news, and sports and cultural events. They also carry financial (金融的) reports, travel news and book and film reviews.Popular newspapers are also known as tabloids (通俗小报). They have large headlines, a lot of big photographs and concentrate on news and events about famous people, and news about the British royal family.The “quality” papers are large and inconvenient to read. For many years, people have been wondering why they refuse to change their size. However, many other people like the size of the “quality” papers because it shows that they are not reading a tabloid, and are therefore reading a serious paper. The Times is the most famous of the quality newspapers. It began in 1785. It is read by important people such as politicians, lawyers and businessmen. The Sun, founded in 1964, is the most successful of the popular newspapers. Around four million people read it every day and it sells more than any other daily newspaper.In the United States, newspapers usually have the name of the city where they are produced (for example, The New York Times). You can buy the bigger ones all over the country. The US also has a lot of tabloid newspapers, such as The New York Daily News, which are similar to British tabloids.。

高中英语高考总复习分钟限时阅读天天练第天_26

号顿市安谧阳光实验学校高考总复习25分钟限时阅读天天练--第50 天第一部分：阅读表达（共15分） ks5uThe hospital burn unit is a popular place on the day after Thanksgiving.I found that out three years ago, when my 18-month-old daughter toucheda radiator pipe while playing around our friends' farmhouse. Instead of feasting on leftover stuffing, I rushed my child as she screamed to hospital. Instead of getting a jump on my Christmas shopping, I learned how to take care of second-degree burns.Our story had a happy ending. With weeks of twice-daily treatments at Mommy and Papa's kitchen-table burn clinic, my daughter's hands healed. But other children we saw at the outpatient burn clinic weren't so lucky.I saw hands _____________________, a mouth that would never smile straight, a scalp that would never grow hair. All the parents had stories of accidents as easy as ours: a cup of tea knocked from a side table, a tumble (摔倒) into a space heater. "Heaters and soup," one veteran nurse told me at the hospital. "That's all it is. Heaters and soup."Most of the injuries were to hands and wrists, and most came from contact with hot liquids or from touching hot objects. Not only do small children not realize the danger posed by hot objects; their skin is much thinner than that of adults. They burn more quickly, and the burns tend to be deeper and more severe.Traditional fire safety education focused on preventing fires. The number of children injured by playing with fire has declined substantially when the Consumer Product Safety Commission required that cigarette lighters be child-resistant. "We know people know about smoke alarms," says Chrissy, program manager for Safe Kids USA, a nonprofit that works to reduce childhood injuries. Now, fire safety experts hope that public education efforts will turn to burns that can be just as terrible as injuries caused by flame.1. Which sentence in the passage is the closest in meaning to the following one?People used to be warned of the fire burns.2. Fill in the blank in Paragraph 3 with a proper sentence．(within 10 words)3. What is the best title for this passage? (within 10 words)4. For what purpose does the author mention “a cup of tea” or “a tumbleinto a space heater” in Paragraph 2?(within 10 words)5. Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese．第二部分：阅读理解：（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分） ks5uAStatistically, air travel is by far the safest way to travel, and you can make flying even safer, just by following these simple rules．As your chances of being involved in an air accident are practically nil（零）,many of these tips concern what you should and shouldn't do to make your journey safer when you are airborne （升空的）．Fly on non-stop routesMost accidents occur during the takeoff, climb, descent and landing phases of a flight, so flying non-stop reduces your exposure to these complex procedures．Choose larger aircraft．Although small aircraft have very good safety records, those with more than 30 passenger seats are designed to comply （遵守） with much stricter regulations and are tested more regularly to make sure they still comply．Also, in the unlikely event of a serious accident, larger aircraft provide a better opportunity for passenger survival．Pay attention to the pre-flight safety briefingThe information may seem repetitious （重复的）, but it's worth listening to the flight attendants．And even if yo u’ve flown before, it doesn’t mean you know everything about the aircraft you're on, such as the location of the closest emergency exit．Store things safelyNever put very heavy articles in the overhead storage bins．They may fall out when someone opens the bin and cause injury．Also, the bin may not be able to hold heavier objects during turbulence （气流）．Keep our seat belt fastened while you are seatedCabin crew always tell you this, but it’s important．You would be seriously injured if the plane hits unexpected turbulence．Always fasten your seat belt if you are told to．The general rule of flying is this: If you are told to do something, do it first and ask questions later．Let the flight attendant pour your hot drinksFlight attendants are trained to handle hot drinks like coffee or tea in a crowded aisle on a moving aircraft, so allow them to pour the drink and hand it to you．Never ask to take a coffee pot from one of them．6．What is the overall reason for these air safety tips?A．What to do in the event of a crash．B．How to avoid turbulence．C．How to improve safety while you are flying．D．How to avoid injury．7．The underlined word "those" in the second tip refers to ____ A．smaller planes B．passengers C．larger aircraft D．safety records8．The underlined phrase "The general rule" in the fifth tip refers to ____．A．anything the flight staff tell you to do B．general safety adviceC．walking around the plane D．pouring hot drinks9．Which of the following is NOT true?A．Larger planes have more safety checks and are safe in an accident．B．Take-offs are safer on non-stop flights than landings．C．Every aircraft is different, so the safety procedures may be different．D．Seat belts should be worn to protect against turbulence．10．The best title of the passage should be____．A．The Safest Way to Travel B．Air Safety TipsC．Non-stop Routes D．How to Ply a PlaneBBritish newspapers are among the oldest and most famous in the world. But recently big changes have seen these traditional publications try to fit the modern world. After 221 years, The Times （《泰晤士报》） has changed its size to become much smaller. In fact, the paper has cut its size in half from a broadsheet to tabloid.In Britain the newspaper market is divided between the larger broadsheets and the smaller tabloids. These terms refer to the size of the papers’ pages, but there is also a clear difference in content. Broadsheets such as the Times, the Guardian （《卫报》） and Daily Telegraph （《每日电讯报》） are serious papers. They cover a broad range of political, economic and international issues. Their stories are also reasonably long and use quite formal language.Tabloids have far more stories about less serious issues such as celebrities’（名人） love lives. Their stories are shorter and use more simple language. Tabloids often have bigger pictures. Britain’s best-selling newspaper, the Sun, is a tabloid and has a naked （裸体的） girl on page three every day.By changing to the size of a tabloid, the Times is following in the footsteps of a less famous broadsheet paper the Independent （《报》）. It changed to tabloid last year and saw its sales increase greatly. Although both papers have switched to the smaller size, the content of the papers has remained the same. They are both still serious papers. The two papers claim that people find the smaller size easier to handle when they travel to work on the bus or the train in the morning. Instead of calling the new style of their paper tabloid, the paper says its new size is “compact” （紧凑型）.11. In which year was The Times born?A. 1782B. 1785C. 1788D. 178612. Which is the most correct statement?A. Broadsheets are larger in size while tabloids are smaller.B. Tabloids are less serious than broadsheets.C. Broadsheets contain more news than tabloids.D. They are different in size, content and the style of language.13. In which of the following newspapers would you find more news about the personal life of the famous soccer star Beckham?A. The Sun B. The Times C. The Independent D. The Guardian14. According to the passage, we can infer the main reason for The Times' changing into the tabloid is that_____.A. it wants to become convenient for people to carry.B. it wants to increase its circulation （发行量）.C. it intends to copy what The Independent has done.D. it is unlikely to stay in business if it does not change.15. Which of the following statements is true according to the given information?A. There are more tabloids than broadsheets in Britain at present.B. After the change, there will be no differences between The Sun and The Times.C. Although The Times has cut its size, it remains a serious paper.D.
