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 either by watching TV or reading newspapers people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day. Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors （编辑）decide which news stories to print? 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. Y et, 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 new story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, m any stories are about some kinds of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safety, 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 in their own country.

It is something far less pleasant, like being called in by your boss to explain why you did this or that, and why you did not do this or that. Sour music, indeed, but it has to be faced.The phrase “to face the music” is familiar to every American, young and old. It is at least100 years old. Where did the expression come from?The first information comes from the American writer James Fenimore Cooper. He said ——in 1851 ——that the expression was first used by actors while waiting in the wings to go on stage. After they got their cue to go on, they often said, “It’s time to go to face the music.” And that is exactly what they did——face the orchestra(交响乐团) which was just below the stage.An actor might be frightened or nervous as he moved on to the stage in front of the audience that might be friendly or perhaps unfriendly, especially if he forgot his lines. But he had to go out.So, “to face the music” came to mean having to go through something, no matter how unpleasant the experience might be, because you knew you had no choice.The other explanation comes from the army. Men had to face inspection(检阅) by their leader. The soldiers worried about how well they looked. Was their equipment(装备) clean——shiny enough to pass inspection? Still, the men had to go out, and face the music of the band, as well as the inspection. What else could they do?( )66. According to the passage, the word “music” means _______.A. your boss’s criticism(批评)B. your leader’s inspectionC. something unpleasant to be experiencedD. sour pop music( )67. The phrase “to face the music” was the first used by _______.A. all the AmericansB. the American writer James Fenimore CooperC. some American actorsD. the American orchestra( )68. An actor might feel frightened or nervous when going on stage. One of the reasons is that _______.A.his performance might not satisfy most of the audienceB.he might not remember what he should say on stageC.he had to face the unfriendly audienceD.most of the audience might be his friends( )69. “To face the music” is also used to mean that soldiers were not willing _______.A.to be examined about their equipmentB.to be found weakC.to show themselves up in publicD.to be inspected by their leader( )70. The passage is mainly about ______.A.the meaning of the phrase “to face the music”B.how to deal with something unpleasantC.the phrase “to face the music” in AmericaD.how to go through difficulty( E )A year ago, I left England and went back to our farm in my country.

We looked after them well.It was great to live on the farm, but we must work hard. My father worked in the fields. My sister and I helped him with the farm work. My mother cooked for us.
