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. Billions of people learn about news stories of their country and all over the world every day, by watching TV, reading newspapers or looking through something on the Internet.
Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. (1) How do newspaper editors 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’s important to report new stories. The Internet and TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the story. They may also look at the story in another way, (2) or they may print completely different stories to those on TV or the Internet.
Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. (3) life, do, stories, to, not, everyday, read, of, want, people . As a result, many stories are about some kinds of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, (4) newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead of 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, (5) but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events 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.

Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to the nine o’clock Mystery Hour. Today we’ll show you two British stories. We hope you’ll enjoy them.
About 900 years ago two green children arrived in a small village in south England. Their eyes and skin were green and they spoke a strange language. They were very tired and weak, so the people of the village looked after them. The boy died a year later, but the girl grew strong and lived the rest of her life there. And her skin color turned back to normal day by day. Scientists say that sometimes of people don’t have enough food to eat for a long time, their skin goes very pale and can turn green.
Loch Ness is the largest lake in Scotland. It’s a very deep and cold lake. For hundreds of years, people have talked about a monster(怪物) called Nessie which lives in the lake. About seventy years ago, two people saw something moving in the lake. They said that the animal was playing and rolling around in the water. Since then many people say they have seen the monster. Their descriptions are always the same. It looks like a dinosaur, with a very long neck and a small head. It has a big bump(肿块)on its back. People have tried to photograph the animal, but the pictures have not been very clear. Scientists don’t know whether there is a monster or not. Some say it may be a whale or a very large fish. Some think it’s a snake. Others say there’s nothing at all— nothing but people’s imagination. Maybe we’ll never know what’s in Loch Ness.
