    Writing an article for your school newspaper can be exciting and rewarding, especially when you proudly see your name in print.

    Decide on a topic.1.If you plan to write a news article for a monthly newspaper, you will need to take into consideration whether the topic will be relevant before printing. To get ideas for stories, listen to your fellow students and find out what has them talking. Follow developments within your school and community to get information on what would interest your readers.

    Do your research. There is an old saying in law that a good lawyer never asks a question that they don’t know the answer to. 2. To sum up, the more, the better.

    Attract the readers with a lead. As the beginning of a newspaper story, a lead has to be direct, but it does not mean you don’t need to entertain the reader as well. 3.Your lead must be short, but it must also state as many of the essential parts of you story as possible.

    Consider the 5 Ws and H. These are the meat and potatoes of your news articles. You article must answer all of these questions: Who, What, When, Where, Why and How. Once you have answered these things, you can feel confident. 4.

    Write, edit, rewrite and repeat as necessary. So, much about having a successful final product is about being willing to spend time and effort in editing and reviewing process. 5.After that, make changes as a result. Having taken some useful suggestions, you are to make your article readable not only for their content, but also for their quality.

    A. Think about what is happening on campus.

    B. You have effectively informed your readers.

    C. Get them interested with an interesting beginning.

    D. Do not be afraid to accept positive comments.

    E. News articles are suitable for the date of publication.

    F. Take note of anything particularly unusual.

    On 8th March this year, events marking International Women’s Day (IWD) were held in many countries around the world. In most countries the events have a political tone: they tend to celebrate the advances women have made towards economic, social and political equality with men, and to press for change in those areas of life where there is still progress to be made.

    In other countries, meanwhile, 8th March is traditionally more about expressing an appreciation of women: it is a day on which men give presents to their wives, girlfriends and mothers, and it therefore has some similarities with St Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day.

    Back in 1911, the first IWD events in Austria, Denmark, Germany and Switzerland were certainly political. They were protests by women against forms of gender discrimination that would now be unthinkable in most parts of the world: almost nowhere were women allowed to vote, and Finland was the only country with any female members of a national parliament. The general expectation worldwide, across different continents and cultures, was that women would spend their lives largely in the home, devoting themselves to looking after their husbands and children. The rate of women who had paid employment was far lower than today, and when women did go out to work they typically earned very little, meaning they were economically dependent on men.

    A century later, gender inequality in employment—particularly pay inequality—is still one of the hottest issues IWD tries to draw attention to: it remains common, of course, for women to earn less than men for doing exactly the same job.

    Limited educational opportunities (there are many countries in which girls generally stay fewer years in school than boys) and domestic violence towards women have also been highlighted by events surrounding IWD in recent years.

    And yet, as the IWD website notes, ______________________. As just one example, to return to the issue of women elected to office, the change over the last hundred years has been significant. Since 1911, when the small group of women in the Finnish parliament (nineteen of them, to be exact) were the only females in public office worldwide, the governments of more than fifty different countries have been led by women. In 2011, at least one country in every continent has a female leader, including high-profile examples such as Brazil (Dilma Rousseff), Germany (Angela Merkel) and Australia (Julia Gillard).

    1.According to the passage, which of the following is true?

    A. 100 years ago, women were not allowed to work outside.

    B. IWD is equal to St Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day in some countries.

    C. Finland was the first country with female employment.

    D. Pay inequality is a hot issue for IWD.

    2.Which word below is closest in meaning to the phrase “press for” in Paragraph 1?

    A. prevent B. urge C. express D. want

    3.Which of the following is the missing sentence in the first line of the last paragraph?

    A. distinctive differences do exist between men and women

    B. the achievements are beyond people’s expectations

    C. there’s still a long way to go to achieve the set goals

    D. alongside the ‘negatives’ there are plenty of ‘positives’

    4.We can conclude from the passage that ________.

    A. the progress in gaining equality in the last century seems to be too slow

    B. the concept of equal pay for equal work is completely accepted in practice

    C. much has been achieved in gender equality, but still there is space for improvement

    D. one or two female leaders can’t stand for women’s social status on the whole

    The plan had been made to create a beautiful nature park with a large man-made lake on the outer parts of the city of Zhengzhou, the capital of Henan Province. However, thanks to a terrible trick played by nature, what the officials have ended up with, is a natural sandy mess!

    The government wanted to create a beautiful place where people of this busy industrial city could come to relax. But things did not quite turn out that way---shortly after digging up thousands of tons of sand, the underground water dried up. As a result, the dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert. While official reports show that the sand is piled up to 10 meters high, some people say that it is ten times more or about a 100-feet high in certain areas.

    If that is not bad enough, the sand hills that now spread across an area the size of four football fields, have influenced the environment. What’s worse is that on windy days, the dry sand moves into the city center, making it almost impossible to drive and forcing people to wear face masks and protective eyewear to prevent the sand from getting into their eyes, nose, and mouth.

    In an act of trying to keep the sand and provide the illusion(幻想) of green fields, the officials have even tried covering it with a green plastic netting. However, that has not done much to improve the terrible situation!

    As you can imagine, many of Zhengzhou’s residents are upset by the disaster. They think that desert wasteland that looks nothing like the green landscape they were promised, has resulted in polluting their pleasant city environment. Some think it is even stopping businessmen from coming to the city.

    1.The author may agree that it is_________ to build a large man-made lake.

    A. possible

    B. impossible

    C. great

    D. interesting

    2.The dry sand has changed into a Sahara-like desert because________.

    A. the weather in Zhengzhou is too dry

    B. there are enough trees in Zhengzhou

    C. they haven’t finished digging the lake

    D. there is no underground water

    3.What kind of pollution have the sand hills caused?

    A. Light pollution. B. Water pollution.

    C. Air pollution. D. Sound pollution.

    4.What do Zhengzhou’s residents think of the man-made lake?

    A. Scary. B. Small.

    C. Helpful. D. Great.

    More students than ever before are taking a gap year(间隔年) before going to university. It used to be the “year off” between school and university. The gap-year phenomenon originated(起源) with the months left over to Oxbridge applicants between entrance exams in November and the start of the next academic year.

    This year, 25,310 students who have accepted places in higher education institutions have put off their entry until next year, according to statistics on university entrance provided by the University and College Admissions Service (UCAS).

    That is a record 14.7% increase in the number of students taking a gap year. Tony Higgins from UCAS said that the statistics are good news for everyone in higher education. “Students who take a well-planned year out are more likely to be satisfied with, and complete, their chosen course. Students who take a gap year are often more mature and responsible,” he said.

    But not everyone is happy. Owain James, the president of the National Union of Students (NUS), argued that the increase is evidence of student hardship – young people are being forced into earning money before finishing their education. “New students are now aware that they are likely to leave university up to￡15,000 in debt. It is not surprising that more and more students are taking a gap year to earn money to support their study for the degree. NUS statistics show that over 40% of students are forced to work during term time and the figure increases to 90% during vacating periods,” he said.

    1.What do we learn about the gap year from the text?

    A. It is flexible in length.

    B. It is a time for relaxation

    C. It is increasingly popular

    D. It is required by universities

    2.According to Tony Higgins, students taking a gap year ____.

    A. are better prepared for college studies

    B. know a lot more about their future job

    C. are more likely to leave university in debt

    D. have a better chance to enter top universities

    3.How does Owain James feel about the gap-year phenomenon?

    A. He’s puzzled B. He’s worried

    C. He’s surprised D. He’s annoyed

    4.What would most students do on their vacation according to NUS statistics?

    A. Attend additional courses.

    B. Make plans for the new term

    C. Earn money for their education

    D. Prepare for their graduate studies

    Do you ever wonder why trees begin to bud (发芽) earlier in some cities? Scientists finally found the answer but it’s not very pleasant. New science suggests a relationship between light pollution and the timing when trees produce buds, which signals the arrival of the spring season.

    Light pollution is defined by the Lighting Research Center as the unwanted consequence of outdoor lighting such as street lights. Excessive (过多的) man-made light at night results in disturbed natural cycles, and also prevents the observation of stars and planets at night. But its effect on the environment goes beyond that.

    By studying some trees, researchers found out that trees that are more exposed to artificial lighting at night bud up to 7.5 days earlier than those at the natural nighttime setting. And they found out that light had a more significant effect than temperature when the buds came out. The early budding may cause problems for insects, which feed on leaves, and the birds which then feed on them in turn. Professor Richard Ffrench-Constant, who helped lead the research, explained that more than the budding of trees, the study implies the danger to the balance of the ecosystem. “At the moment, caterpillars (毛毛虫) are timed to hatch to make the most of the opportunities to feed on freshly budded leaves, and birds hatch in time to feed on the young caterpillar,” he said.

    Migratory (迁徙的) birds are also negatively affected by light pollution. The glare might confuse them and make them lose their flying sense. The phenomenon might explain why some birds accidentally knock into buildings.

    Such results stress the need to pursue studies that aim to measure the effect of light pollution. If the issue were left to continue, it is estimated that by 2100, spring would begin almost a full month earlier than it does today.

    1.What will happen if there is too much man-made light?

    A. People’s eyesight will be damaged.

    B. The ecosystem will likely lose its balance.

    C. No stars or planets may be observed at night.

    D. Animals’ living habits may change suddenly.

    2.How does the early budding affect insects or plants?

    A. It will cause the rising number of insects.

    B. It could lead to trees growing fewer leaves.

    C. It may result in some insects going hungry.

    D. It might push insects to hatch more slowly.

    3.What does the author want to tell us in the last paragraph?

    A. The effect of light pollution is destructive.

    B. The spring of 2100 will become much longer.

    C. Light pollution should be taken seriously.

    D. A further study on light pollution is scheduled.

    4.What is the suitable title for the passage?

    A. Why spring comes earlier in some cities

    B. Why light pollution needs to be studied

    C. How trees’ early budding takes place

    D. How much light is “too much”
