It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day either by watching TV or reading newspapers.Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors(编辑) decide which news stories to print? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers, but newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories from those on TV.Secondly, a new story has to be interesting and unusual. People don't want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kinds of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print stories about air crashes.( )1. According to the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now?A. They tell others news stories from place to place on foot or by horse.B. They learn about news stories by watching TV or reading newspapers.C. They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.D. They listen to the radio every day to get some information.( )2.

A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasn't been caught.D. The bike in front of your house is lost for a few days.BHave you ever heard of a famous charity called Operation Smile? We hope we can help you understand how we are trying to help children all over the world.Operation Smile was started by a doctor and his wife. In 1982, together with some volunteers, they went to Philippines to help children who had holes in their lips (嘴唇) or inside their mouths. It was very difficult for them to eat and drink. These volunteers workedvery hard. But they worried that they could not carry on with the work because they were short of money. Then they decided to start a charity so that they could help these needy children. They called it Operation Smile.Operation Smile works in more than twenty developing countries and has cured over 10,000 children who have problems with their mouths. Operation Smile has won many prizes for its work and in 1999 they even started a special event called “The World Journey of Hope”. 5,000 children in 18 countries are cured during the event.On the other hand, Operation Smile trains local doctors and nurses in developing countries so that they can continue to help children when Operation Smile has left. As to the children with much more serious problems, they will send them to America for further treatment.So show your kindness and generosity (慷慨) to the needy children now. You can send your donation to Operation Smile at local banks. Many thanks from the children who can smile now will come to you.( )4.

At the end I said, “Son, remember: Be slow and steady (镇定的), and that will win t he race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”Tony opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tom and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“He must have wished that,” Tony said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (坚忍不拔), by pushing on steadily.”Tony thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. My generation (一代人) has different ideas about life from Tony’s generation.( ) 9.
