No country in the world has more daily newspapers than the USA. There are almost 2,000 of them, as compared with 180 in Japan, 164 in Argentina and 111 in Britain. The quality of some American papers is extremely high and their views are quoted all over the world. Famous dailies like the Washington Post or the New York Times have a powerful influence all over the country. However, they are not national newspapers in the sense that The Times is in Britain or Le Monde is in France, since each American city has its own daily newspaper. The best of these present detailed description of national and international news, but many tend to limit themselves to state or city news.

　Like the press in most other countries, American newspapers range from the “sensational” which feature crime and gossip(閑談), to the “serious”, which focus on factual news and the analysis of world events. But with few exceptions, American newspapers try to entertain as well as give information, for they have to compete with the attraction of television.

 Just as American newspapers satisfy all tastes, so do they also try to attract readers of all political parties. A few newspapers support extremist(極端主義的) groups on the far right and on the far left, but most daily newspapers try to attract middle-of-the-road Americans who are moderate(中立的). Many of these papers print columns by well-known journalists of different political and social views, in order to present a balanced picture.

As in other countries, American newspapers can be either responsible or irresponsible, but it is generally accepted that the American press serves its country well and that it has more than once courageously exposed political scandals(丑聞) or crimes, for instance, the Watergate Affair(水門事件).

MAY 14 marks the 60th anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel(以色列). Many Israelis, however, are not in the mood to celebrate.

Looking at the damage to her neighbor's home from a Palestinian（巴勒斯坦） rocket, Batia Katar, a 17-year-old Israeli girl, was in tears. "We can't celebrate (Israel's) independence when things like this are happening," she said.

What is clear is that Israel is not a normal country. The country has a dramatic (戲劇性) history and ancient culture but has only officially existed for 60 years. Within hours after it was established in 1948, Israel was at war with its Arab neighbors for land. It won that time, and in 1956, 1967 and 1973, acquiring the West Bank, the Golan Heights, Gaza and east Jerusalem. For good or ill, Israelis can take pride in victories with so many countries. However, it occupied much more land than the United Nations agreed, which left local Palestinians homeless.

Different from all its neighbors in religion, Israel is also far more successful economically than its neighbors. Though, it gets a great amount of support from America and other Western countries. The country is now a world leader in many industries, such as IT and modern agriculture.

However, conflict exists, just like 60 years ago. And the signal of peace is as weak as ever. Palestinian militants (武裝人員) have fired more than 7,000 missiles  from Gaza, mainly at Sedro, killing 13 people. In the same period hundreds of Palestinian civilians  in Gaza have died in Israeli military action.

In order to create peace, the world community hopes both sides accept and follow the Middle East peace plan. Optimists believe through Israeli-Palestinian negotiations there will finally be peace.

Both Israelis and Palestinians want to live in peace without explosions that remind them that they are living in a special but dangerous place.

1.  Why are many Israelis not in the mood to celebrate the both anniversary of the founding of the state of Israel? Because         .

A．the government didn't organize it

B．they are too busy to attend it

C．it is dangerous to celebrate it

D．conflicts and fights still exist

2.  The underlined word established in the fourth paragraph means         .

A．defeated          B．founded          C．a(chǎn)ttacked          D．a(chǎn)ccepted

3.  Israel is not a normal country because         .

A．the country has a dramatic history and ancient culture but has only officially existed for 60 years

B．within hours after its establishment, Israel was at war with its Arab neighbors for land

C．it occupied much more land than the UN agreed, which left local Palestinians homeless

D．a(chǎn)ll of the above

4.  Which statement about Israel is NOT true according to the passage?

A．It became a country in 1948.

B．It is different from all its neighbors in religion.

C．It is now a world leader in many industries, such as IT and modern agriculture.

D．No country has supported it since it was founded.

5.  It can be inferred from the passage that         .

A．it is still a question mark whether Israelis and Palestinians can live in peace

B．Israel was created as a homeland for homeless Jews

C．for good or ill, Israelis can take pride in victories with so many countries

D．Israel is far more successful economically than its neighbors
