Do you want to start a school newspaper?If you do,then this is the article for you.Starting a school newspaper can be a great learning experience and is a respectable thing to put on a resume(简历) in the future as it shows your interviewer your leadership skills and that could very well help land you the dream job for your future.Being part of the school newspaper will give you a good idea on other people you barely know and also it will give you a chance to learn what goes on in the school.
77.B
This is essential for the success of the newspaper.A teacher brings something very important to the party,and that is authority.A teacher is there primarily to help make sure that everyone gets their articles in on time.With a teacher,staff simply feel an obligation to get their articles in.This really makes your job a lot easier.A teacher not only sees to it that articles are handed in on time,with a teacher around,staff will quit over 80% less.
78.F
Use your common sense for what's suitable for a middle school newspaper.Don't print anything hinting on weapons,violence,drugs,or basically anything that's illegal or not fit for middle school.
79.C
Because most school newspapers have 12articles,brainstorm 12.Some ideas are:games,colouring contest,short story,advice,random facts,sports,poetry or fashion.Once you have these articles planned out,open a word document and come up with cool titles and layout for your newspaper.You can copy a few things from the internet,but if it has a copyright,make sure to say where you got them from.
80.E
Recommend to your staff that once they hand in their first article,get a head start on their next article because life consists of all things,e.g.sickness,vacation,family affairs etc.Also tell them to let you know if they can't get one article in so you can cover for them.Print off the schedule and give it to all your staff members.

One of the consequences of the terrible earthquake and tsunami in Japan on 11March was,of course,a leak of radiation at the Fukushima nuclear power station on the country's east coast.Soon afterwards,all the people living within twenty kilometres of the plant were told to leave because of the danger from the radiation.
77.B
The pros and cons of nuclear power always come up in debates about how the world should produce the energy it needs.Those who think the risks are too great can obviously use Chernobyl-and now Fukushima-in their argument,while also pointing out that nuclear waste stays radioactive for hundreds of years,and asking what might happen if terrorists ever chose to attack a nuclear power plant.Those who support nuclear power point out that a very small amount of nuclear fuel can create a huge amount of energy,and that unlike the burning of fossil fuels such as oil,coal and natural gas,nuclear power stations don't contribute to global warming by pushing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
78.E
Most of the world's energy currently comes from fossil fuels,but this can't go on forever.As well as the problem of global warming there is the simple fact that the Earth has a limited amount of these resources.They will eventually run out-although there is a lot of disagreement about when that might be.
79.F
Apart from nuclear power,which currently provides less than 10% of the world's energy,the other alternative is energy from renewable sources.These include hydropower,biofuels (made mostly from crops),wind power and solar power,and together they currently provide around 15% of the world's energy.Some scientists think renewable energy is the great hope for the future-not only because it won't run out but also because it is less risky than nuclear power and produces far fewer greenhouse gases than burning fossil fuels.
80.C
Other scientists,however,believe we will never produce enough renewable energy to fill the gap when fossil fuels begin to run out.That is why,even while watching the very worrying events in Japan,they argue that nuclear power will always have to be part of the solution to the world's energy problems.

Marriage,like other social instructions,is showing the strains of modern life.While more Americans are getting married today than ever before,the divorce rate is also disturbingly on the rise( one divorce for every three marriages last year).Why should this be so,and what,if anything,can we do to reverse this trend?
77.B
For most people,life is easier and more comfortable than ever before.Convenience foods from the supermarket simplify shopping and cooking.Household appliances like the vacuum cleaner and the washing machine have made housework much easier to do.Released from these household chores,many wives have found jobs outside the home.Women are achieving economic independence.
78.D
Families,too,are simpler today.In American,it is not customary for parents to live with their married children.With our greater mobility,relatives have scattered,the parents retiring to Florida or Arizona and the young people,after they marry,going wherever their jobs or their interests take them.
79.E
Young adult women have new freedom,too.While attending college,they often live away from home,sometimes far from their parents or their relatives.After college,they move to the city,find a job,and set up"bachelor"apartment.This is the era of women's liberation.
80.A
But all this freedom and affluence have had an unforeseen and in some respects a devastating effect on marriage.Men and women,no longer dependent on each other for food and maintenance,find it harder to accept the responsibilities and restraints or endurance the misunderstandings of married life.When happiness becomes misery,many couples decide to terminate their marriage through divorce.On the other hand,there is a growing trend today for couples in trouble to try to save their marriage by consulting a professional counselor.He listens patiently while they talk,knowing that only through self-understanding can they solve their problems.

10.An interview with Benno Nigg,the sports scientist
76.D
Nigg's Answer:That is a little bit overstated.But the literature shows that shoes are a minor player in injury development.If you take a group of people and want to injure them,send them out every day for a 20-kilometre run.A lot of them will be injured in three weeks.The major factors are the distance run,the intensity and recovery time,not the shoes.
77.B
Nigg's Answer:The problem is that if you go to a store and want to find your best shoes,you don't know what to do.Things that are sometimes done,like video analysis of your rear foot movement,may not help.The only way to assess whether a shoe is right for you is how it feels.If you feel comfortable in a shoe,it's likely to be good for you.
78.C
Nigg's Answer:A shoe may act as a training device,making some muscles to function more effectively for a majority of users.Or it may use materials that last longer.That may have something to do with its price.However,for the average runner it is difficult to distinguish between actual functional designs and unnecessary features.Generally,the more a shoe controls movement,the more it acts like a cast,which means you lose some muscle strength,and your feet are more likely to be injured.
79.F
Nigg's Answer:Yes,for about 80per cent of people.The major benefits are training the small muscles crossing the ankle joint,and a reduction of knee and lower back pain.However,some claims for these unstable shoes are overstated,such as the general muscle strengthening that they are claimed to produce.
80.E
Nigg's Answer:There are claims that there are fewer injuries when you run barefoot,but there is not yet enough evidence,or enough research,to prove that.If you look at performance,most papers suggest an advantage of 3to 4per cent.With a few exceptions,people don't run barefoot,so it may be that it's not an advantage,or it may be that we're just not used to it.

C.Will a more expensive shoe make me run faster or jump higher,as the ads suggest? D.Is it true that expensive shoes are no better at preventing injury than cheap ones?
