解答 71．①How do newspaper editors decide which news stories they should （may，can，could，） print？或②How do newspaper editors decide which news stories should （may，can，could，） be printed？本句是一个复合句，由how引导的主句中缺少宾语，则用which引导的从句为宾语从句，充当宾语．
72．（the） stories．Yet，newspapers give more about the story．They may also look at the story in another way他们也可以通过另一种方式读故事，然而，报纸能编辑更多的故事，在印刷方面，他们有很大的不同，故those指代stories．

74．print 改为 printing  本句中应用print的现在分词printing，表示印刷．
75．但是，更多的人更喜欢（愿意）读有关他们自己国家的人、地方和事件的故事．prefer to do sth表示更喜欢做某事，读故事可用read story表达．
