almost every family in America or England buys at least one copy of a newspaper each day. Some people buy as many as two or three different papers.
(1) Newspapers supply us with news about events in our hometown, in our country, and in other parts of the world. Today we can read about important things that took place in foreign countries on the same day they happened, even in countries far away. (2) In those times, news was often passed from one person to another and was never entirely true. Newspapers today supply us with more than just what happened in our country or in other countries. (3)
if we want to find out what films are being shown, or what plays or concerts we can go to, we can look them up in newspapers.
In many countries people put notices in newspapers if they are trying to get a job, hunting for a house that they can rent, or even looking for a person who is lost.
(4) For example, some made – up news harms people, especially famous people. So when we read the news, we should use our heads and shouldn’t believe all that in them.
Newspapers are not for the blind, for they have no sound. (5) .
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，從下面A—E五個選項中選出能填入短文空白處的正確答案。
| A．Hundreds of years ago, news of things took months or even years to travel from one country to another. B．On the other hand, some newspapers supply false news to their readers. C．If newspapers had sound, blind people could listen to them. D．Why do people read newspapers? E．If we want to know what the weather will be like, we can read the weather reports. |

When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day passes (通行證) posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers.
??? It was Christmas Eve when I arrived, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments (裝飾物) shining against the green of a pine.
??? “Where did it come from？” I asked.
??? “I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mother said. “I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, but when you called--- oh, such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon…”
??? The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Krystal Star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly (難看地) at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with pleasant smell of Christmas.
??? “It’s not like the ones you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look. But I couldn’t be picky.”
??? “Don’t worry, ” I told her. “It’s perfect.”
It wasn’t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.
