Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying the news. There are serious （严肃的）papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad．There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment(娱乐) to information．

The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably the Times．It began in 1785, and has a high reputation (名声) for believable news and serious opinions on the news． It calls itself an independent （独立的）paper, which means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not those of the owners of the paper．

Letters to the editor are printed in the newspaper．These parts of the Times are always interesting．Most of the letters are serious subjects．But from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which is not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion (时装) of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with the manners of thirty years ago．

No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon（外科医生） and part of it taken out． Today， however，we needn't worry about feeling pain during the operation．The sick person falls into a kind of sleep，and when he awakes，the operation is finished．But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have operation felt all its pain．
     Long ago, operation had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything． The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him． He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off， and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched．
     Soon after 1770, Joseph Priestley discovered a gas which is now called “laughing gas”．Laughing gas became known in America．Young men and women went to parties to try it． Most of them spent their time laughing，but one man at a party，Horace Wells，noticed that people didn't seem to feel pain when they were using this gas．He decided to make an experiment on himself．He asked a friend to help him．
     Wells took some of the gas， and his friend pulled out one of Well’s teeth． Wells felt no pain at all．
     As he didn't know enough about laughing gas， he gave a man less gas than he should have． The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out．
     Wells tried again，but this time he gave too much of the gas，and the man died．Wells never forgot this terrible event．
