 Newspapers have certainly been around for a long time. Many New Zealand newspapers are now heading towards their 125th anniversary(周年纪念)   of the first publication and some New Zealand papers are more than 140 years old.

However,some people think that newspapers are yesterday’s medium(传媒)   and that new media,like television and even the Internet,will in the very near future cause newspapers to die. What is clear is that the growth of new media,and in particular the Internet,will cause newspapers to change themselves and change their product to meet customers’ needs.

 People read newspapers because of their unique(独特的) strength. They have a large audience and yet a certain appeal(吸引力)   . They reach the majority of the population each day through covering national and international news and yet they offer interest to gardeners,cooks and even slaves to fashion.

 Newspapers also remain strong because of people’s continued love of reading. Reading is an active and in-volving(专注的) process,but people are able to read at their own speed and return to newspapers for reference purposes.

 Newspapers will certainly not stop the Internet being a competitor(竞争者） But no newly-introduced news medium has ever killed an old one，and if best guesses are to be made then it is likely that this will be the case with this new medium as well.

   A. Its old age.

  Communication is defined(定义) as the exchange of information between individuals(个体) ，media，or groups. However, a good communicator is someone who knows how to listen and understand well rather than just making himself or herself heard. Listening is the key to good communication. If you don’t know how to listen,then it’s not likely that there would be a free and willing exchange of ideas. Here are some tips to remember：

1. When you are listening to a friend’s opinions or even just taking part in a group discussion，be really present. Focus your attention on listening and not on daydreaming about other things. People can usually sense if they are getting half-hearted attention and it doesn’t feel good.

2. Usually,your friend already knows his/her way out but just wants someone to listen to him/her. So don’t offer to give advice unless it’s a matter of life and death. You become a more effective listener when you know when to keep quiet and when to speak up.

3. Though you might find it hard to look a person in the eye,try to do so. It will show that you are really listening. Whether you’re the speaker or the listener，you must try to make an eye contact,even briefly，just to make sure everyone’s still with you and understanding what you are saying or to let the speaker know you are listening attentively.

4. Once your friend has finished airing out him/her thoughts and asks for

your opinion,grab the opportunity to let him/her know how you feel about

his/her situation. Be careful about going too far with sharing your own life story,particularly about how you overcame the same situation. Keep the focus on him/her.

 The "invasion(人侵) ”of English words into the Chinese language must be stopped,the country's senior translator says.

  Huang Youyi? of the International Federation of Translators,one of the country's largest publishers,says words such as OK， bye-bye? nice,modern and guitar are coming into everyday Chinese and causing problems. Mr Huang said, "If we do not pay attention and if we do not take measures to stop Chi?nese being mixed with English,Chinese will no longer be a pure language. For example, the words DV   D.MP3 and CEO are used often in Chinese... But these imported terms can cause   confusion.”

  Mr Huang fears the increasing flow of English words into Chinese conver?sation could endanger the language. "In the long run,Chinese will lose its role as an independent language for communicating information and expressing hu?man feelings," he said.

  China has struggled to integrate the flow of Western culture as it has opened up and modernized. Only 20 foreign films are allowed to be screened in cinemas each year,and a lot of websites, including YouTube,Facebook and Twitter,have been banned. But Western brands(品牌) have spread widely,English-language television shows are widely available and many students want to study English.

  Mr Huang said, "Some of our people think that using foreign words is a sign of being open-minded and international. I do not think so. Instead,we should have confidence in our own language. You cannot expect others to re?spect you unless you respect yourself.”

  But Gu Yueguo,of the Institute of Linguistics at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences,said,"If we cleaned out all the borrowed words,less than half of modern Chinese would be left. Borrowing words from other languages is happening all over the world. It is a positive sign of cultural exchange and as-similation(吸收) .There is no way that China can close the door.”

1.Huang Youyi may agree that         ,

   A.more English words should be brought into Chinese
