　　A good modern newspaper is an extraordinary piece of reading．It is remarkable first for what it contains：the range of news from local crime to international politics, from sport to business to fashion to science, and the range of comment and special features(特写)as well, from editorial page to feature articles and interviews to criticism of books, art, theatre and music．

　　A newspaper is even more remarkable for the way one reads it：never completely, never straight through, but always by jumping from here to there, in and out glancing at one piece, reading another article all the way through, reading just a few paragraphs of the text．

　　A good modern newspaper offers a variety to attract many different readers, but far more than any reader is interested in．What brings this variety together in one place is its topicality(时事性), its immediate relation to what is happening in your world and your locality now．But immediacy and the speed of production that goes with it mean also that much of what appears in a newspaper has no more than transient(短暂的)value．

　　For all these reasons, no two people really read the same paper：what each person does is to put together out of the pages of that day's paper, his own selection and sequence, his own newspaper．For all these reasons, reading newspaper efficiently, which means getting what you want from them without missing things you need but without wasting time, demands skill and self-awareness as you modify and apply the techniques of reading．

When the sun is up in Amsterdam, the largest city in the Netherlands sits quietly on the Amstel River ．You can rent a bicycle, visit the Van Gogh or Anne Frank museum, or take a water taxi．

But when the sun goes down, the partying begins．In the big clubs and in coffee shops, tourists gather to hang out, talk politics and smoke．

Several areas of the city clearly show the two worlds that rule Amsterdam．And they are all within a short cab ride of each other．

For example, Dam Square attracts daytime sightseers to its festivals, open markets, concerts and other events．Several beautiful and very popular hotels can be found there．And there is the Royal Palace and the Magna Plaza shopping mall．

But as evening descends on Dam Square so do the party-seeker, hip pop or funk music begins blaring from Club Paradiso and Club Melkweg．These are two of the most popular clubs in Europe．So if you come, be ready to dance．The clubs don’t shut down until 4 am．

And while you are there, check out the various inexpensive ways to tour the city．Don’t worry about getting lost．Although Dutch is the official language, most people in Amsterdam speak English and are happy to help you with directions．

You can take in the picturesque canal house architecture: The rows of neat, narrow sour-story dwellings of brownstone with large windows are well worth seeing．Many of them are several centuries old．

You might also want to jump out of the canal bus at the Museum Quarter and start walking．Masterpieces by Dutch artists such as Rembrandt, Bruegel, Van Gogh and others are on display at the Van Gogh Museum, Rembrandt House and others．

The city has an appreciation of its historic post．One place to visit is the Anne Frank House in Nine Streets．It was there that the young Jewish girl wrote her famous diary during World War II．Visitors can view Anne’s original diary and climb behind the bookcase to the room where she and her family hid from the Nazis for two years．
