He is only 12 years old but Utkarsh Tripathi brings out a handwritten newspaper every week on matters like the environment. He does all this to satisfy his wish to ¡°serve the country¡±. A Class 8 student of the Brij Bihari Sahai Inter College in Allahabad, Utkarsh has been bringing out the newspaper Jagriti for the last one year. And for the four-page, black-and-white newspaper, Utkarsh not only takes the role of a reporter, editor and publisher, but also gives it free of charge.

Jagriti has about 150 readers belonging to various age groups in Allahabad, some 200 km from the state capital Lucknow. ¡°Children make up major Jagriti readers ... my school friends, my seniors in school, teachers and also my neighbours,¡± he said.

According to Utkarsh¡¯s father Hari Prasad, who runs a coaching institute, his son has a gift for writing and wants to serve the country in some way.

¡°More than two years ago, he began to read articles in Hindi Daily. One day he said that he wanted to start serving society from his school life itself. I then suggested why not work like a journalist and make people know their rights,¡± he added. Utkarsh took the suggestion seriously and came up with Jagriti. ¡°I try to cover social issues about environment, women foeticide and others in the editorial section, and also information about public welfare plans and important government policies for the betterment of the poor or children.¡± Utkarsh said.

Jagriti also has successful stories of scientists, political leaders and other outstanding people.But how does he get time from his studies to bring out a weekly newspaper? ¡°I believe if anyone is passionate about something, he or she can take out some time to realize his dream.¡± Utkarsh replied.

Utkarsh¡¯s efforts are much appreciated by people in Allahabad. Nutan Devi, a local journalist, said, ¡°For me it¡¯s real journalism ¡­It has renewed the objective (×ÚÖ¼) of journalism that seems to have now got lost somewhere.¡±

Why are newspapers and TV broadcasts filled with disaster, corruption and incompetence? It may be because we¡¯re drawn to depressing stories without realizing, according to psychologists.

When you read the news, sometimes it can feel like the only things reported are terrible, depressing events. Why do the media concentrate on the bad things in life, rather than the good? In fact, many people often say that they would prefer good news.

The researchers present their experiment as solid evidence of a so called ¡°negativity bias(Æ«¼û)¡±, psychologists¡¯ term for our collective hunger to hear, and remember bad news.

It isn¡¯t just delight in other people¡¯s misfortune, the theory goes, but that we¡¯ve evolved to react quickly to potential threats. Bad news could be a signal that we need to change what we¡¯re doing to avoid danger.

As you¡¯d expect from this theory, there¡¯s some evidence that people respond quicker to negative words. In lab experiments, flash the word ¡°cancer¡±, ¡°bomb¡± or ¡°war¡± up at someone and they can hit a button in response quicker than if that word is ¡°baby¡±, ¡°smile¡± or ¡°fun¡±. We are also able to recognize negative words faster than positive words, and even tell that a word is going to be unpleasant before we can tell exactly what the word is going to be.

There¡¯s another interpretation (½âÊÍ)that researchers put on their evidence: we pay attention to bad news, because on the whole, we think the world is more hopeful than it actually is. When it comes to our own lives, most of us believe we¡¯re better than average, and that, like the cliches, we expect things to be all right in the end. This pleasant view of the world makes bad news all the more surprising and arresting. It is only against a light background that the dark spots are highlighted.

So our attraction to bad news may be more complex than just journalistic prejudice or a hunger springing from the darkness within.

1.What is ¡°negativity bias¡± according to psychologists?

A. It is one¡¯s delight in others¡¯ misfortune.

B. It is one¡¯s habit of reacting quickly to potential threats.

C. It is a signal with which we can avoid danger.

D. People are born to hear and remember bad news.

2.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Journalists only feel like reporting depressing bad news.

B. It is true that there are no good stories to be reported.

C. People unconsciously pay more attention to bad news.

D. People like to hear pleasant words rather than bad words.

3.What will be read first by most readers according to the theory?

A. Movie star arrested for taking drugs.

B. Movie star went on a campaign for ASL disease.

C. Movie star accepts Ice Bucket Challenge

D. Movie star awarded the third Oscar in three years.

4.What causes people to focus more on bad news than on good news?

A. The world is believed to be more hopeful than it actually is.

B. It is expected things will be all right in the end.

C. The world is believed to be full of darkness.

D. It is believed that we are better than others.
