9．Directions：Read the following text and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph．There is one extra heading which you do not need．

A．Manufacturing industry in information economy
B．News in the age of information
C．Argument about individual accounts and their reliability
D．Be your own investigative journalist
E．Don't believe everything you read in the newspapers．
F．Information is presented in an entertaining way．

76．B
With the arrival of the age of"information economy"，intellectual work is becoming a more important source of wealth than manufacturing．Organizations in all walks of life are doing more to spread their information．So people of the Public Relations are hired to speak for them．A lot of our news is actually collected from press releases and reports of events intentionally staged for journalists．In the information age，journalists spend their time，not investigating，but passing on the words of a spokesperson．
77．E
There is a joke in the novel Scoop about the newspaper's owner，Lord Copper．The editors can never disagree with him．When he's right about something they answer"definitely"，and when he's wrong they say"to some extent，Lord Copper．"It seems reasonable to suppose that，in the real world，the opinions of such powerful people still influence the journalists and editors who work for them．
78．F
In countries where the news is not officially controlled，it may be provided by commercial organizations who depend on advertising．The news has to attract viewers and maintain its audience ratings．I suspect that some stories get air-time just because there happen to be exciting pictures to show．In Britain，we have the tabloid newspapers which millions of people read simply for entertainment．There is progressively less room for historical background，or statistics，which are harder to present as a sensational story．
79．C
There is an argument that with spreading access to the internet and cheap technology for recording sound and images we will all be able to find exactly the information we want．People around the world will be able to publish their own eye-witness accounts and compete with the widely-accepted news-gatherers on equal terms．But what it will mean also is that we'll be subjected to a still greater amount of nonsense and lies．Any web log may contain the latest information of the year，or equally，a made-up story that you will never be able to check．
80．D
Maybe the time has come to do something about it，and I don't just mean changing your choice of TV channel or newspaper．In a world where everyone wants you to listen to their version，you only have two choices：switch off altogether or start looking for sources you can trust．The investigative journalist of the future is everyone who wants to know the truth．

8．A
The teacher who did the most to encourage me was，as it happened，my aunt．She was Myrtle C．Manigault，the wife of my mother's brother Bill．She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden，New Jersey．
During my childhood and youth，Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential，without regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females．I liked to sing； she listened to my voice and pronounced it good．I couldn't dance； she taught me the basic dancing steps．She took me to the theatre--not just children's theatre but adult comedies and dramas-and her faith that I could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed．
My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me．I had books at home，but they were all serious classics．Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor，and I'll never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquis's Archy & Mehitabel through her．
Most important，perhaps，Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication．A writer herself for one of the black newspapers，she suggested my name to the editor as a"youth columnist"．My column，begun when I was fourteen，was supposed to cover teenage social activities-and it did-but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material，the discipline of meeting deadlines，and，after graduation from college six years later，a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passport to a series of writing jobs．
Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her"favourite niece"．Like a diamond，she has reflected a bright，multifaceted （多面的） image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path．

Irene entered the University of Paris in 1914to prepare for a degree in mathematics and physics．When World War I began，Irene went to help her mother，who was using X-ray facilities（设备） to help save the lives of wounded soldiers．Irene continued the work by developing X-ray facilities in military hospitals in France and Belgrum．Her services were recognised in the form of a Military's Medal by the French government．In 1918，Irene became her mother's assistant at the Curie Institute．In December 1924，Frederic Joliot joined the Institute，and Irene taugh him the techniques required for his work．They soon fell in love and were married in 1926．Their daughter Helene was born in 1927and their son Pierre five years later．
Like her mother，Irene combined family and career．Like her mother，Irene was awarded a Nobel Prize，along with her husband，in 1935．Unfortunately，also like her mother，she developed leukemia because of her work with radioactivity（辐射能）．Irene Joliot-Curie died from leukemia on March 17，1956．
