But what is the proper way to read an English newspaper? Do students need to look over all the content(內(nèi)容)of the newspaper?

The first step is to choose a right newspaper with good language. Then turn to the front page and read the headlines(標題)to know what has happened. As the most important things are put on the front page, it's easy to find out what you're interested in and then turn to the page to read it completely. There is no need to go through all the articles.
