Several factors make a good newspaper story. First，1，it must be new. But since TV can react to events so quickly, this is often a problem for2. They usually respond3it in one of three ways.
One by providing4detail, comment or background information.
One by finding a new5on the day’s major stories.
One by printing completely different stories which6doesn’t broadcast.
What else? Well—it also has to be7. People don’t want to read about8, everyday life. Because of this, many stories9some kind of conflict or danger. This is one reason why so much news seems to be10news , “ Plane lands safely—no-one hurt ”doesn’t sell newspapers. “Plane11—200 feared dead !” does .
Next, there’s human interest. People are interested in other12—particularly in the rich, famous and powerful. Stories about the private lives of pop singers, actors, models, politicians,13, all appear regularly in certain newspapers .
Finally, for many editors,14is an important factor, too. They prefer stories about people, places and events which their readers know. That’s15the stories in Tokyo’s newspapers are often very different from the stories printed in Paris, Cairo, New York or Buenos Aires.

Each day Nasreddin gave the donkey a little7 food, until it was hardly eating anything.
Then one day，when the donkey was going to market with a load of wood on its back, it suddenly8 . “How unlucky I am，”said Nasreddin，“Just when my donkey had got used to eating hardly anything，it came9 the end of its days in this world.

I ran across an old photo of him the other day, thinking of some old things. He’s been dead for 25 years. His name was Rex.
1 was his favorite recreation(娱乐). He had so much 2 in the water as any person I have known. You didn’t have to throw a stick in the water to 3 him to go in. Of course, he would bring back a stick to you if you 4 throw one in.
That 5 me of that night, 6 he brought back a small box that he found somewhere--- how 7 nobody ever knew. Since it was Rex, it 8 easily have been half a race. The box wasn’t a god one. It was just a 9 old piece that somebody 10. Still it was something he wanted, probably 11 there was some difficulty in transportation(运输). And that he thought could test his courage. We first knew about his achievement when, deep in the night, we 12 him trying to get the box up onto the porch(门厅). It sounded 13 two or three people were trying to tear the house 14. We came downstairs and turned on the 15 light. Rex was on the top step trying to pull the thing up, but it had 16somehow. And he was just holding his own(坚持着). I suppose he would have held his own 17 dawn if we hadn’t helped him. The next day we carried the box miles away and threw it out. If we had thrown it out in a 18 place, he would have brought it home again, as a small token(象征)of his strength in such matters. 19, he had been taught to carry heavy wooden objects about and he was 20 of his skill.

That’s 7Tim gets together with about ten of his neighbors to discuss community 8. Members of the neighborhood watch group want to help the police 9their homes , streets, and families safe.
Tina Stedman , president of 10neighborhood watch group , agrees with Tim . “People seem to think that crime(犯罪) happens to other people but not 11them. Well , it’s never happened to me,” she said, “but I don’t think anyone has the12to steal from other people or to make them feel13sitting in their own homes.
Alex, a member of the group, said that all the neighbors14out for one another. “We15each other’s homes. We keep watch on the neighborhood at night and on weekends .Usually a16of four or five of us goes out together. If something doesn’t look right, then we call the17 . For example, if we notice a group of teenagers who seem to be looking for18, or someone destroying property(财产), we report to the police.”
Alex feels the neighborhood watch groups 19a lot in keeping crime down. Her husband Jim agrees, “Police are good people, but they don’t do 20.”

Stephen Glenn is a famous scientist who has made several medical breakthroughs. When1why he was so much more2than the average person, he replied that it all came from an experience3his mom.
At 2, he was trying to4a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he5his hold on the slippery bottle and it fell, spilling (洒) its contents all over the kitchen floor! When his mom came in, instead of shouting at him or6him a lesson, she said, “Robert, what a great mess you’ve made! I’ve7seen such a sea of milk. Well, now that the8has been done, would you please get down and9in the milk for a while10we clean it up?”
So happily he did. After that, his mom said, “Robert, whenever you make such a mess like this, you’11 have to clean it up and restore (恢复) everything to its proper11. So which do you prefer, a sponge, towel or mop?” He12the sponge and tighter they cleaned up the milk. His mom then said, “Robert, you’ve just had a13experiment how to carry a big milk bottle14with two tiny hands. Now go to the sink to fill the bottle with15and see if you can discover a way to carry it safely.” Instantly Robert learned that he could16it if he grasped the bottle at the17near the lip with both hands.
18wonderful a lesson! The famous scientist then remarked it was then and there that he came to know that19were just opportunities for learning something new, which is what scientific experiments are all about.
Wouldn’t in be great if all parents could react the way Robert’s mom did to20?

Hamburgers are not the13kind of food that fast-food restaurants14.15serve fish, or sandwiches, and also16, coffee, and so on.

John Snow was born and worked as a1 in Great Britain.Exactly, he was an anaesthetist，2means that he put people to sleep during operation.He also began to experiment using the same drugs to help women when they had3.That is why he became the doctor who4Queen victoria to give the birth of her babies.
At the time he lived，cholera was the most5disease.Neither its cause，nor its6was understood.So many thousands of people died7there was an outbreak.John Snow was 8to help ordinary people9from cholera.He10the disease began in the stomach and the patients died quickly after severe vomiting(呕吐)and diarrhea (腹泄).11，he believed cholera resulted from water.When another12hit London in 1854，John Snow set to work.
John Snow approached the problem in a systematic way.He marked on a map13all the dead people had lived and found many of the14were near a water pump.It seemed the water was the15.So he collected information about the 16habits of the dead people and used them eventually to prove his theory.With the information17，John Snow was sure that18water was the cause.
Then people were required to19the water company to supply them with clean water.Thanks20 John Snow there was no more outbreaks of cholera.

Lightning flashed through the darkness over Sibson’s bedroom skylight(天窗).Sibson was shaken by a clap of thunder1 he knew what was happening. The storm had moved directly2 his two-story wooden house. Then he heard the smoke alarm beeping.
Sibson rushed down the stairs barefoot to3; he opened the door to the basement(地下室), and flames4out. Sibson ran back upstairs to call 911 from his bedroom. “I felt 5because the room had a separate outdoor stairway,” he explains.
But the phone didn’t work, and when he tried to go down the outdoor stairway, he was6by a wall of flames. Sibson realized he was trapped(困住).
Sibson’s house was three kilometers7the main road and was so well hidden by trees that he knew calling for help would be8.
Up a hill nearby lived Sibson’s neighbor, Huggons. He was lying in bed when something like a smoke alarm9his ears. He jumped out of bed, took his10and flashlight, and headed down the hillside toward the11. That was when he saw the rolling heavy smoke.
Huggons dialed 911, and the operator warned him not to12the house. But Huggons said, “There is no way I am going to listen to Sibson 13and die in that fire.”
“Anyone there?” Huggons called out. Then he heard “Help! I’m trapped!” coming from the second floor balcony(阳台). He entered the house, but soon had to run back to catch his14.
After one more15inside the house, Huggons gave up and16around back.
The wind parted the smoke just17for him to catch sight of Sibson. But there was no way to get to him. He18the flashlight into the woods and noticed a ladder. He took it over to the balcony and19Sibson down just as the second floor of the house fell off.
Sibson is still20when he tells the story. “ I was alone that night,” he says. “Then I heard the most beautiful sound in my life. It was Huggons.”
