【解析】本文主要介紹了幾種為校報寫文章的方法，比如找到新鮮的話題，規(guī)劃內(nèi)容以及接納他人的建議等。

【1】根據(jù)下文“If you plan to write a news article for a monthly newspaper, you will need to take into consideration whether the topic will be relevant before printing.” 如果你打算為月刊寫一篇新聞文章，你需要考慮打印前的主題是否相關(guān)�？芍�新聞文章適合出現(xiàn)在這種月刊上。故選E。

【2】根據(jù)“There is an old saying in law that a good lawyer never asks a question that they don’t know the answer to”法律上有句老話：一個好律師從不問一個他們不知道答案的問題。以及“To sum up, the more, the better.”總之，越多越好。故選G。

【3】根據(jù)“As the beginning of a newspaper story, a lead has to be direct, but it does not mean you don’t need to entertain the reader as well.” 作為報紙故事的開始，一個主題必須是直接的，但這并不意味著你不需要引領(lǐng)讀者深讀。可知一個有趣的開始能讓讀者感興趣，故選C。

【4】根據(jù)“You article must answer all of these questions: Who, What, When, Where, Why and How. Once you have answered these things, you can feel confident.” 你的文章必須回答所有這些問題：誰，什么，何時，何地，為什么以及如何。一旦你回答了這些問題，你就會感到自信。那么你就已經(jīng)很有效的告知了讀者文章內(nèi)容。故選B。

【5】根據(jù)“much about having a successful final product is about being willing to spend time and effort in editing and reviewing process” 一個成功的最終產(chǎn)品是愿意花時間和精力在編輯和審查過程上。以及“After that, make changes as a result. Having taken some useful suggestions, you are to make your article readable not only for their content, but also for their quality.”之后，對文章進(jìn)行更改。采用一些有用的建議，使你的文章具有可讀性而不僅因為他們的內(nèi)容，而是為文章的質(zhì)量。聯(lián)系上下文可知不要害怕那些消極的評論。故選D。
