advice or the gossip columns,the comics,and perhaps the classified advertisements.Most people dont take time to read real news.Editors attempt to catch readers interest with pictures and exciting headlines.These techniques are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper.The first page attracts attention and encourages readers to look through the rest of the paper.This is why editors always look for a good first page story and a headline to make them stop and look.If the headline is horrible enough,frightening enough or wild enough,perhaps they will go on to read the front page.They may read the headlines,but that is all,and then they turn to the sports page,or comics,or advertisements.It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper anymore.They say they get the news on television now.More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper.What about you?Do you read news from a newspaper?Do you think it is easier to get news from television?Or do you care about news at all?Would you mind if there were no news?1.According to the passage,newspapers are .A.more popular

in our lives.You might lose your job,fail in your exams or have an illness.1 Here are some ways not to lose hope during difficult times.Have faith.2 No matter how bad the situation is,things will turn out to be good in the end.Several years ago I failed to get my masters degree.It was a really bad experience.3 It was of much better quality than my previous university.Experiences like this strengthen my belief that having faith is important during difficult times.Be around supportive people.Going through difficult times is hard,and going through them alone is even harder.You need a group of positive people who can support you.4 If you dont,my suggestion is to start looking for one.Dont wait until you need it,because it will be too late by then.You need the community before difficult times come.Help others.An additional benefit of being in a good community is that it encourages you to think about other people.It pushes you to help others and,therefore,think about other people.5 As a result,your situation wont look as bad as it would be otherwise.Often the situation looks worse than it really is because we give too much attention.Shifting(移开) some of your attention away will put the situation in a better view.A.Your community helps a lot.B.I changed my attitude towards failure.C.Whatever it is,its important not to lose hope.D.In
