【文章內容簡介】 set off by two children startled to hear a noise in the back room. 5. The police were contacted by one of the boys’ mothers worried that he might have got lost. 6. The frontpage headlines were changed by the editor hoping to be the first to break the news. 7. Online editions of the newspapers are being read by more and more people not wanting to buy the traditional edition.41. So odd was the newsreader’s accent that I couldn’t understand what she was saying. 2. So incredibly bad was the language on that programme that I switched off the TV. 3. So exaggerated was the story that it had to be pletely rewritten. 4. So careless was one of the trainees that he left his notebook at the scene of the crime 5. So great was the distance from one region to the next that we had to ravel by plane. 6. So slow were Frank’s reactions that he wasn’t able to avoid hitting the car in front.51. 一個事件光有客觀重要性顯然還不夠——世界上有大量全球性的大問題，都會造成戲劇性的后果，從貧窮問題到全球變暖問題——但由于它們都是進行中的，并不都會在同一天成為頭條。對比之下，9/11不僅具有國際性，而且奇特怪異、出人意料，還（可能使讀者對身陷那場悲劇中的人們的痛苦感同身受，從這個意義上講）極具人性。 2. 但是，電視新聞未必比報紙報道更客觀或更可靠，因為你在屏幕上看到的圖像是經過記者或編輯根據(jù)特殊的目的，或至少是按照指示篩選過的；它們是從一個獨特的視點展現(xiàn)給觀眾的。如果把攝像機移到別的地方，你就會看到另一番景象。 3. 互聯(lián)網為任何有意見的人提供了一個便利的窗口；報紙編輯最喜歡的莫過于給它們提供各種不同的反饋和意見，他們能從中得到安慰。如今十幾歲的少年已不記得曾經沒有互聯(lián)網的日子了；只有在寫關于印刷新聞這一特定媒體的作業(yè)時他們才去讀報。 4. 如此看來，報紙是不會輕易消失的。未來報紙發(fā)展的趨勢包括對本地新聞需求的日益增長，而始于20世紀80年代后期的對生活方式新聞的持續(xù)開發(fā)利用——尤其在個人理財和旅游方面——將會創(chuàng)造新的收入來源。61. So sudden, so striking was the news that I sat motionless on sofa for a few minutes. My first instinct was to call our leaders to tell them what had happened and see what we could do for those colleagues who died or got injured in this traffic accident. 2. Paper books for children have an enormous advantage over ebooks. For children, a beautifully printed paper book is not only a book but also a toy they can play with. Reading a paper book is rather different from reading a book on the screen. 3. In recent years, traditional media are in the tendency of decline and new media are developing rapidly. However, this does not necessarily mean that traditional media have lost the market. When it es to reading things like news, people are still used to such traditional media as newspaper. 4. With the explosion of the financial crisis, many enterprises find themselves in difficulties. For those who have no circulating fund to invest in new production and would not let the vicious circle continue, the only thing they can do is turn to government for help.Reading across cultures11.

Though they came across many difficulties, under his leadership they successfully found a market for their products, and the overall situation was changing for the better. In recognition of his outstanding contributions, the pany decided to give him a flat as an award. 2. When John challenged him to fencing, he was very embarrassed because he knew that he was no match for John at it. If he took the challenge, he would surely lose。 but if he didn’t, he would be a coward. 3. He caught a cold yesterday. Assuming that he would get better after a good night’s sleep, we sent him to school this morning. But later in the afternoon, he got back home with a fever and was confined to bed. 4. In the past few years, I have had several severe illnesses and lived in a state of poverty,
