Some teenagers think that newspapers are boring and only for adults. But that’s not true. There are many interesting stories in the paper. You just need to make clear what you are looking at. “I spend about half an hour reading newspapers every day，” said 15-year-old Gao Ming from Beijing. “I’m interested in things happening at school.” School news is just one kind of news story in newspapers. There’s also world news： from international problems to pop stars.
Read the newspaper carefully， we’ll find different types of articles on the pages： News stories—These stories are about events. Reporters try to show all points of a story to help readers understand what happened. Reporters try to speak to as many people as possible. They also use pictures and numbers to show the readers that the stories are true. The newspaper Teenagers has lots of news stories on the news page and front page. When we read them， we learn more about the facts， not the writers’ ideas.
Opinion writing-- Opinion writing is usually about something happening right now. But it isn’t just facts. Here writers add their own opinions to the news. Writers pick only the facts that help back up their ideas. They make readers believe that they are telling the truth. This is usually the kind of story that gets people thinking. Go to “Speak Out” on Page Two for an example of opinion writing in Teenagers.
Advertisements—Don’t get happy too early when reading them. Those sweet words and lovely pictures are just ways to get us interested in their products! People have to pay to put advertisements in newspapers!

励耘书业暑假衔接宁波出版社系列答案Pan Hui is a 14-year-old Beijinger. Like many only children in China， Pan is happy and confident(自信)， except when he feels lonely from time to time. “It’s not fun， especially when I travel with my parents. How I wish I could have a brother or sister.” She said.
It could be time for Pan to realize her dream. Several months ago， China ended its long-lasted one-child policy(政策)， and now every couple can have two children. But what would it be like growing up with a sibling(兄弟姐妹)?
A sibling can stop children from having feelings such as loneliness and fear， according to Laura， a professor from Brigham Young University， US. “Siblings give kids something that parent can’t”.
But there are downsides too. You need to share things with your siblings， including attention from parents， toys， the TV. There could be lots of competition， name calling(吵架)， and even hair-pulling.
Even the birth of order can make a difference. US psychologist(心理学家) Kevin said the birth order decides how parents treat their children. It will then lead to different characteristics in children. Kevin explained that parents are usually very nervous and strict on the first child. So firstborns are often responsible(负责的) and have success more easily. When the couple have a second child， they are more relaxed. So late-born kids are usually humorous and creative.
