The editor must never forget that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising. He is usually anxious to keep the good will of local businessmen for this reason. But if the newspaper is well written and the news items have been carefully chosen to attract local readers, the businessmen are thankful for the opportunity to keep their products in the public eye.

Local newspapers do not often comment on problems of national importance and editors rarely take sides on political questions. But they can often be of service to the community in expressing public feeling on local issues. A newspaper can sometimes persuade the council to take action to provide better shopping facilities, improve transport in the area and preserve local monuments and places of interest.

These papers often sound rather dull and it seems surprising that they all make a profit, but for many people in small towns and villages the death of someone known to them or the fix of traffic lights at a busy corner nearby can sometimes be more important than a disaster in a foreign country.

1. What should the editor remember according to the first paragraph?

   A. Money.               B. Newspaper.

   C. People.               D. Advertising.

2. What is the local newspapers' attitude on national political questions?

   A. They seldom have their own ideas.

   B. They often express their ideas.

   C. They are against one side.

   D. They are for another side.

3. Do businessmen like the local newspapers?

   A. No, they are for business.

   B. Yes, from the advertising on the newspapers they can sell well.

   C. Yes, they can write for the newspaper.

   D. No, they can't get much money from the newspaper.

4. A local newspaper can persuade the council ________.

  A. to provide better shopping facilities

  B. to preserve local monuments

  C. to improve transport in the area

  D. all above

  Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly in their ways of carrying the news.There are serious 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 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 for believable news and serious opinions on the news.It calls itself an independent 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 of dress, or the bad manners of the young people, compared with manners of thirty years ago.

  "Wanna buy a body?"That was the opening line of more than a few phone calls I got from self-employed photographers when I was a photo editor at U.S.News.Like many in the mainstream press, I wanted to separate the world of photographers into "them", who trade in pictures of bodies or run after famous people like Princess Diana, and "us", the serious newspeople.But after 16 years in that role, I came to wonder whether the two worlds were easily distinguishable.

  Working in the reputable world of journalism, I told photographers to cover other people's difficult life situations.I justified marching into moments of sadness, under the appearance of the reader's right to know.I worked with professionals talking their way into situations or shooting from behind police lines.And I wasn't alone.

  In any American town, after a car crash or some other horrible incident when ordinary people are hurt or killed, you rarely see photographers pushing past rescue workers to take photos of the blood and injuries.But you are likely to see local newspaper and television photographers on the scene-and fast…

  How can we justify doing this? Journalists are taught to separate, doing the job from worrying about the consequences of publishing what they record.Repeatedly, they are reminded of a news-business saying:Leave your conscience in the office, A victim may lie bleeding, unconscious, or dead.Your job is to record the image(图象).You're a photographer, not an emergency medical worker.You put away your feelings and document the scene.

  But catastrophic events often bring out the worst in photographers and photo editors.In the first minutes and hours after a disaster occurs, photo agencies buy pictures.They rush to obtain the rights to be the only one to own these shocking images and death is usually the subject.Often, an agency buys a picture from a local newspaper or an amateur photographer and puts it up for bid by major magazines.The most sought-after special pictures command tens of thousands of dollars through bidding contests.

  I worked on all those stories and many like them.When they happen, you move quickly:buying, dealing, trying to beat the agencies to the pictures.

  Now, many people believe journalists are the hypocrites(伪君子)who need to be brought down, and it's our pictures that most anger others.Readers may not believe, as we do, that there is a distinction between clear-minded "us" and mean-spirited "them".In too many cases, by our choices of images as well as how we get them, we prove our readers right.

(1)

When journalists are working, they are told to ________.

[  ]

work with their conscience

respect the privacy of the victim

B.

are no better than self-employed photographers

C.

are more devoted to work than non-professionals

  Animal lovers should stop calling their furry or feathered friends “pets” because the word is insulting, leading academics claim.

  Domestic dogs, cats or hamsters(仓鼠)should be renamed as “companion animals” while owners should be known as “human carers”, they insist.Even words such as wildlife are dismissed as insulting to the animals concerned-who should instead be known as “free-living”, the academics including an Oxford professor suggest.

  The call comes from the editors of Journal of Animal Ethics, a new academic publication devoted to the issue.In its first editorial, the journal disapproves the use of words such as “critters(动物)” and “beasts”.It argues that “derogatory” language about animals can affect the way that they are treated.

  “Despite its popularity, ‘pets' is surely a derogatory word both of the animals concerned and their human carers,” the editorial claims.“Again the word ‘owners', though technically correct in law, goes back to a previous age when animals were regarded just as property, machines or things to use.”

  It goes on:“We invite authors to use the words ‘free-living' or ‘free-roaming' rather than ‘wild animals'.For most, ‘wildness' is very closely associated with uncivilized, rough existence.There is an obvious prejudice here that should be avoided.”

  The editors also hope to see some of the more colorful words in the English language stamped out.Phrases such as “sly(狡猾的)as a fox”, “eat like a pig” or “drunk as a skunk(臭鼬)” are all unfair to animals, they claim.“We shall not be able to think clearly unless we discipline ourselves to use less than partial adjectives in our exploration of animals and our moral relations with them,” they say.

(1)

According to the academics, what should we call domestic parrots?

[  ]

A.

human carers

B.

free-living

C.

companion animals

D.

beasts

(2)

The underlined word in paragraph 3 probably means ________.

[  ]

A.

不敬的,贬低的

B.

批评的,指责的

C.

不恰当的,不合适的

D.

令人不快的,不吉利的

(3)

Why do the editors say phrases like “sly as a fox” are unfair to animals?

[  ]

A.

Because foxes are not sly at all in real world.

B.

Because it is helpless for people to think clearly when using those phrases.

C.

Because those phrases have been stamped out.

D.

Because they are only partial adjectives in the description of animals.

(4)

What is the main idea of this passage?

[  ]

A.

Pets are badly treated because people use insulting words when calling them.

B.

Academics claim that calling animals “pets” is insulting.

C.

People should rename our pets with more colorful words.

D.

People shall not be able to realize the importance unless they discipline themselves.

(5)

[  ]

A.

Society and the Arts

B.

Business reports

Current affairs
