19．The role of a newspaper is to present and comment on the news．It is vital for keeping people well-informed on current affairs．In most Western countries，journalists try to shape the ideas and opinions of their readers，since in Western countries all newspapers are independent of the government．Some newspaper owners support liberal ideas including economic policies that help poor people．Other owners want policies such as lower taxes for rich people and less money to be given to poor people．You can almost judge the political ideas of a person in the West by looking at the newspaper he reads．
All newspapers report national and international news．They give the facts but also provide opinions on controversial issues in the editorials and columns of opinion．The readers of the newspaper can also comment on these editorials or articles．There are many informative articles too as well as reviews of new films and books，etc．These are very important，for if a film or book gets good reviews it will often become more successful．
All these articles require many journalists who are experts in different areas of life．All these articles come together and are checked by the chief editor of the newspaper．When he or she has made a decision on the articles，the newspaper is prepared for printing．All this work means that the journalists must work together as a team because there is a lot of pressure when you work in a newspaper office．There are constant deadlines and articles have to be fitted round advertisements，photographs and much，much more．

18．One day，I received a call from a colleague．He was about to give a student a zero for his answer to a physical problem，while the student claimed a perfect score．I was elected as their arbiter（仲裁人）．I read the examination problem："Show how it is possible to determine the height of a tall building with the aid of a barometer（气压计）．"The student had answered；"Take the barometer to the top of the building，attach a long rope to it，lower it to the street，and then bring it up，measuring the length of the rope．The length of it is the height of the building．"
The student had really answered the question completely，but the answer didn't confirm his competence in physics．I suggested the student try again．I gave him six minutes to answer the question，warning that the answer should show some knowledge of physics．Five minutes later，he said he had many answers and dashed off one，which read："Take the barometer to the top of the building and lean over the edge of the roof．Drop the barometer，timing its fall with a stopwatch．Then，use the physical formula（公式）to calculate the height of the building．"
At this point，my colleague had to accept it，and then the student made almost full marks．I couldn't help asking the student what the other answers were．He listed many others，and then added，"Probably the best is to take the barometer to the administrator and said to him，‘Sir，here is a fine barometer．If you tell me the height of the building，I will give it to you．"，
Then，I asked the student if he really did not know the conventional（传统的） answer to this question．He admitted that he did，but said that he was fed up with high school and college instructors trying to teach him how to think．
