Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news of their country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.
Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news to print？ Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?
Firstly, it’s important to report news. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories from those on TV.
Secondly, a new story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories of everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print stories about plane accidents.
Another factor(因素) is also very important. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.
【小題1】According to the passage, how do people learn about news in the world now?

A．They carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.
B．They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.
C．They watch TV or read newspapers.
D．They listen to the radio every day.
【小題2】Newspapers have been an important part of the daily life since ______.
A．19th centuryB．18th centuryC．16th centuryD．17th century
【小題3】The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that ____.
A．people can learn more about the same news from a newspaper
B．people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaper
C．people can read news stories in other countries
D．people can read news stories about their own country
【小題4】To make a good newspaper story, how many factors does the passage talk about?
A．Two.B．Three.C．Five.D．Six.
【小題5】Which is NOT TRUE in the passage?
A．Newspapers may print different stories from those on TV.
B．People like to read interesting and unusual news like plane accidents.
C．Many Chinese people have no interest in news in their own countries.
D．Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life for more than three hundred years.
