The main purpose of newspapers are to provide news．If you examine newspapers closely，you will find there are all sort of news：accidents，floods，fires，wars，sports，books，etc．The news cover everything happens to people and their surroundings．Sometimes there is news which is very interested．A news report is usual short，except when it is very important，but has a plenty of information．It is also writing in short paragraph．The first paragraph is in fact a summary of the news．It gives all the necessary informations，what，when，where，how，and why．

14．It was the summer of 1965．DeLuca，then 17，visited Peter Buck，a family friend．Buck asked DeLuca about his plans for the future．"I'm going to college，but I need a way to pay for it，"DeLuca recalls saying．"Buck said，‘You should open a sandwich shop．'"
That afternoon，they agreed to be partners．And they set a goal：to open 32 stores in ten years．After doing some research，Buck wrote a check for 1000．DeLucarentedastorefront（店面）inConnecticut，andwhentheycouldn'tcovertheirstart-upcosts，Buckkickedinanother1000．
But business didn't go smoothly as they expected．DeLuca says，"After six months，we were doing poorly，but we didn't know how badly，because we didn't have any financial controls．"All he and Buck knew was that their sales were lower than their costs．
DeLuca was managing the store and going to the University of Bridgeport at the same time．Buck was working at his day job as a nuclear physicist in New York．They'd meet Monday evenings and brainstorm ideas for keeping the business running．"We convinced ourselves to open a second store．We figured we could tell the public，‘We are so successful，we are opening a second store．'"And they did-in the spring of 1966．Still，it was a lot of learning by trial and error．
But the partners'learn-as-you-go approach turned out to be their greatest strength．Every Friday，DeLuca would drive around and hand-deliver the checks to pay their suppliers．"It probably took me two and a half hours and it wasn't necessary，but as a result，the suppliers got to know me very well，and the personal relationships established really helped out，"DeLuca says．
And having a goal was also important．"There are so many problems that can get you down．You just have to keep working toward your goal，"DeLuca adds．

13．Let us suppose it is now about A．D.2060．let's make believe it is about fifty years from now．of course，things have changed and life is very different．
Voyages to the moon are being made every day．It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe．At a number of scenic spots on the moon，many hotels have been built．The hotels are air-conditioned，naturally．In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon，every room has at least one picture window．Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of young and old．
What are people eating now？People are still eating food．They haven't yet started to take on heir（繼承） supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power．They may some day．But many foods now come in pill form，and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants．
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago，most of our planet's surface has to be filled．The deserts are irrigated（灌溉） with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests．The harvest is always good．
Farming，of course，is very highly developed．Very few people have to work on the farm．It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then．
People are now largely vegetarians（素食者）．You see，as the number of people increases，the number of animal decreases．Therefore，the people have to be vegetarians and we ar e healthier both in our bodies and in our minds，and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain，and it is possible to get rid of diseases．No one has to be ill any more．
Such would be our life in 2060．

10．Do you know how to use a mobile phone without being rude to the people around you．
　　Talking during a performance irritates （激怒） people．If you are expecting an emergency call，sit near the exit doors and set your phone to vibrate （振動(dòng)）．When your mobile phone vibrates，you can leave quietly and let the others enjoy the performance．
　　Think twice before using mobile phones in elevators，museums，churches or other indoor public places especially enclosed spaces．Would you want to listen to someone's conversation in these places Worse yet，how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral!It happens more often than you think．Avoid these embarrassing situations by making sure your mobile phone is switched off．
　　When eating at a restaurant with friends，don't place your mobile phone on the table．This conveys the message that your phone calls are more important than those around you．
　　Mobile phones have sensitive microphones that allow you to speak at the volume you would on a regular phone．This enables you to speak quietly so that others won't hear the details of your conversations．If you are calling from a noisy area，use your hand to direct your voice into the microphone．
　　Many people believe that they can't live without their mobile phone．Owning a mobile phone definitely makes life more convenient，but limit your conversations to urgent ones and save the personal calls until you are at home．

9．Millions of people die of hunger in southern Africa every year，but when Zambia was offered thousands of tons of free maize by the US，the government politely said no．
"We don't know whether the food is safe，"said Zambia's commerce，Trade and Industry Minister Dipak Patel．
    His worries are shared by countries around the world that are in two minds about America's genetically modified（GM，轉(zhuǎn)基因的）crops．Just last week，EU（歐盟）member nations were discussing whether or not to import GM sweet corn from the US．
    Ever since people started farming，they have tried to crossbreed（雜交）plants to make them stronger or better tasting．At one time，only related plants could be crossed with each other．
But when GM techniques were developed in the 1970s，scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature．
    This means they can make crops more productive and resistant to disease by adding genes from other species．They can also create food with special characteristics，such as"golden rice"，which is enriched with vitamin A．But many people believe GM foods are a health risk．
    At the moment，the official argument is that GM foods"are not likely to present risks for human health"．But there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced in different ways．
    Some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies．Further harm could be caused by the genes from GM plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops．
    People in China are also getting worried about GM foods．More than 70 percent of the
country's soybean oil is produced from imported GM soybeans．Meanwhile，an investigation last November found that 12 of 60 famous foods sold across the country were GM products．The government has begun to introduce a marking system for GM goods so that people can choose whether or not to eat them．
26．Why has Zambia refused the American free maizeC

C．only related plans could be crossed with each other
