It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to  51  news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and  52  the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.‎ Newspapers have been an important  53  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  54  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 different stories to those on TV.‎ Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and  55 . People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news.  56 , newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead, they print stories about plane accidents.‎ ‎ 57 , many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and  58  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.‎ ‎51___52____53__54____55____56____57___58___-‎ IV.Complete the sentences with the given words in their proper forms (8分)‎ ‎59.

Etiquette  80  rules that society has set up for people to follow so that they can do things in the proper way. Napkin （餐巾）etiquette has developed over time.‎ According to proper etiquette today, one should put one’s napkin on one’s lap （膝盖）as soon as everyone is seated at the table. When one excuse oneself and leaves the table for a few minutes, one should leave one’s napkin on one’s chair. When one is finished with one’s meal and is leaving the table, one should  81  one’s napkin to the right of one’s plate.‎ What was napkin etiquette like before it developed into what it is today? In ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman times, the etiquette was quite different. Napkins were much  82 . Often, they were as large as bath towels. Banquets （宴会）usually lasted for hours, and people ate with their hands. Although finger bowls filled with83  would sometimes be available, the large napkins were necessary if one wanted to stay reasonably clean.‎ A second use for the napkin developed in the sixth century B.C. Roman society. At that time,  84  were expected to take food home. The uneaten food was wrapped up and carried in one’s napkin. It was considered not polite to leave empty-handed.‎ Napkin size changed  85  with an invention. The invention that caused this size change was the fork. Since people began to use forks, their hands no longer get as dirty as before. Although napkins became smaller in size, many Europeans did not use them. The custom was to wipe one’s hands on the tablecloth. At that time, tablecloths were so large that one could use a part of it to cover one’s lap. Covering one’s lap with the tablecloth served two purposes （目的）. One could wipe one’s hands on it, and one could protect his lap from getting dirty.‎ ‎（ ）80.

Sneakers, of course! Almost everybody o86  at least one pair of sneakers. But, how many people know the history of the sneaker?‎ Sneakers were first introduced around the b87  of the 20th century. The sneaker was invented when a shoe company glued a piece of rubber to the shoeshop. They called it an athletic （运动的）shoe.‎ In 1917, U.S. Rubber sold athletic shoes called Keds. The shoes became known as “sneakers,” because they were so q88  that you could sneak up on （偷偷接近）people while wearing them. For many years, sneakers only came in one c89  choice – and it wasn’t white. They were brown with black bottoms.‎ The way sneakers looked changed in the early 1960s. A runner named Phil Knight and his coach, Bill Bowerman, decided to make them b90 . They made some experiments to find a light, comfortable athletic shoe, and went into the sneaker business.‎ One day, Bowerman stuck a piece of rubber into a waffle maker （华夫饼干制造器）. W91  he heated it up, the iron made a pattern of criss-crosses （十字图案）in the rubber. Bowerman was inspired to use this on the sole （鞋底）of a shoe to give the shoe traction（摩擦力）and a lighter weight. He knew that this rubber wouldn’t slip on the gym floor.‎ The two men named their shoes Nike, after a Greek goddess. Nike was a symbol of victory. From then o92 , Nike shoes became winners, too. They were sold in many different colors and styles and have sold millions and millions all around the world.‎ ‎86. o__________  87. b__________  88. q__________  89. c__________‎ ‎90. b__________  91.

Lester thought about what his mum had said about finding something valuable, “You should always give it to the police, so they can try to find the owner.”‎ It must have fallen out of someone’s ring. Lester thought about what his mum had said about finding something valuable, “You should always give it to the police, so they can try to find the owner.”‎ The next day, Lester carried the stone to the police station. He told the policeman where he had found the rock and how he thought it might be valuable. “Thank you, young man,” the policeman shook Lester’s hand. “You did the right thing coming down here today,” he said. “According to ‘the found-property （拾得财务）law’,if you had not brought the diamond to the police and just kept it, you might have been breaking the law. Since you did bring it to the police, there is a chance you could keep it legally （合法的）.”‎ ‎“Is that true?” Lester asked.‎ ‎“Yes,” the policeman answered. “If no one claims （索取）this diamond within six months, it will be yours under the law.”‎ Lester walked out of the police station happily.
