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 (完全地) different stories to those on TV.Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People dont 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.（1）According (根據(jù)) the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now?

A recent study found that when drivers were talking on their mobile phones，their stopping times were 30 percent slower than when they had drunk too muchand nearly 50 percent slower than when they were driving normally. It also found that drivers talking on mobile phones were less able to control their cars than drunk drivers.And talking isnt even the most serious problem, but texting is. Unbelievably, another recent study reported that 22 of adults admitted (承認(rèn)) they had sent a text message while driving at least once in the past month. An average (平均的) text message takes 90 seconds to write and send. That means for one and a half minutes a driver is looking at their phones screen and not at the road. The arrival of new smart phones such as the iPhone will only make things worse as they will allow users to do more things than ever beforeUsing a mobile phone while driving puts others lives at risk. No matter how well we drive，if another driver is not careful，we are put in danger by their actions. Such drivers are selfish，careless and should have their driving licences (駕照) cancelled (撤銷).There is no doubt that mobile phones can be fun and are useful，especially when youre in troubleBut there is no need to use them while driving. Just wait until you stop or you will probably get into trouble of your own. （1）The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 1 refers to _.A . phone usersB . mobile phonesC . driversD . ears（2）According to the passage，if a driver needs 10 seconds to stop when driving normally, they will need _ seconds to stop when talking on a mobile phoneA . 12B . 13C . 14D . 15（3）According to the passage，in what order do the following activities influence driving?DangerousMore dangerousMost dangerousA . drinkingtalking on phonetextingB . textingtalking on phonedrinkingC . talking on phonedrinkingtextingD . drinkingtextingtalking on phone（4）Why will new types of mobile phones make the driving problem worse?A .

Whats more, taking notes is also OK. Each method works, depending on your own personal learning. You can follow the steps to do self-reflection.First, choose the proper time to do it.
