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(秒). Billions of people learn about news stories of their own 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 the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors(編輯) decide which news stories to print (印刷)? Why do they print some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?
Firstly, it is important to report new stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.
Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don't want to read stories about 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 in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events (事件) 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.

Bringing art into hospitals
The medical world is gradually realizing that the quality of the environment in hospitals may play a significant role in helping patients to get better.
As part of a nationwide effort in Britain to bring art out of the museums and into public places, some of the country's best artists have been called in to change older hospitals and to soften the hard edges of modern buildings. Of the 2,500 national health service hospitals in Britain, almost 100 now have very valuable collections of present art in passages, waiting areas and treatment rooms.
These recent movements first started by one artist, Peter Senior, who set up his studio at a Manchester hospital in northeastern England during the early 1970s. He felt the artist had lost his place in modern society, and that art should be enjoyed by a wider audience(觀眾).
A common hospital waiting room might have as many as 500 visitors each week. What a better place to hold regular exhibitions of art? Senior held the first exhibition of his own paintings in the out-patients waiting area of the Manchester Royal Hospital in 1975. Believed to be Britain's first hospital artist, Senior was so much in demand that he was soon joined by a team of six young art school graduates.
The effect is striking. Now in the corridors and waiting rooms the visitor experiences a full view of fresh colors, playful images(形象) and restful courtyards.
The quality of the environment may reduce the need for expensive drugs when a patient is recovering from an illness. A study has shown that patients who had a view onto gardens needed half the number of strong pain killers compared with patients who had no view at all or only a brick wall to look at.
1.Some best artists of Britain have been called in to ________
A. set up new hospitals
B. make the corners of the hospital collect paintings
C. Bring art into hospitals
D. help patients recover form serious illnesses
2. After the improvement of the hospital environment, _________
A. patients no longer take drugs to kill their pains
B. patients don’t have to stay long in hospital
C. patients need fewer pain killers when they suffer from an illness
D. patients feel happy in hospital
3. It can be inferred from the passage that _________
A. the role of hospital environment is important
B. hospital artists have done more than doctors
C. exhibitions attract more audience in hospitals
D. the hospital is a better place for people

A 8.2-magnitude（震級）earthquake struck off the coast of northern Chile late on Tuesday, cutting power and leading to small landslides and a tsunami (海嘯). Four men and one woman died —two who suffered heart attacks and three who were crushed（壓死). About 300 prisoners escaped from the northern port city of Iquique in the immediate aftershock (余震).
The quake struck at about 8:46 p.m. local time, some 60 miles northwest of Iquique. It had a depth of 12.5 miles. Chile’s National Emergency Office asked coastal residents to leave for safe places. “The fact is, we will know the extent of the damage as time goes by and when we inspect the areas in the light of day,” Chile’s President Michelle Bachelet said early on Wednesday. “The country has faced these first emergency hours very well.”
Residents in the port city of Antofagasta walked calmly through the streets to higher ground as traffic became heavy in some places. “Many people are fearful after experiencing the powerful earthquake in 2010, so they immediately rushed to higher ground when they heard the tsunami warning,” said a government official.”There have been lots of aftershocks and communications have been cut off in many of the affected areas. So people are waiting in the dark hills, not knowing what is to come, and hoping they will be able to return to their homes safely.”
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center sent our several tsunami warnings, but called off all of them by early Wednesday.
Tsunami waves of more than six feet caused by the earthquake washed ashore on the coast of Pisagua. Iquique, with a population of more than 200,000, saw seven-foot waves.
1.The earthquake resulted in _____.
A. 300 prisoners being trapped
B. five people being crushed
C. many cars being damaged
D. some other natural disasters happening
2.How did the whole country respond to the earthquake when it happened?
A. They were so fearful that they were in a panic.
B. They went into the streets immediately.
C. They acted very calmly.
D. They drove to higher ground after hearing the warning.
3.What difficulty did people in the hills face?
A. The weather was terrible.
B. The communications were cut off.
C. They got lost in the hills.
D. Their houses were destroyed.
4.Which of the following statements is NOT true, according to the passage?
A. The government had estimated（估計）the damage of the earthquake by early Wednesday.
B. The tsunami waves in Pisagua were more than six feet high.
C. Several tsunami warnings had been called off by early Wednesday.
D. The earthquake happened in the evening and it had a depth of 12.5 miles.
5.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Chile Deals with Emergency Well.
B. Tsunamis Caused by Aftershocks in Chile.
C. A Powerful Earthquake Strikes off the Coast of Chile.
D. Tsunami Warnings Work Well in Chile..
