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 people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors 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. 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 unusual. People dont want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be bad news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely; instead they print stories about plane accidents.Another factor 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. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.21. According to the passage, how do people learn about news stories in the world now?A. They carry news stories and tell others from place to place on foot or by horse.B. They tell each other what they have seen with their eyes.C. They watch TV or read newspapers.D. They listen to the radio every day.22. The difference between newspaper stories and TV news reports is that _.A. people can learn more about the same news story from a newspaperB. people can read the news story more quickly in a newspaperC. people can read news stories in other countriesD. people can read news stories about their own country23. According to the passage, which of the following can you most possibly watch on TV?A. You often play football with your friends after school.B. Your teacher has got a cold.C. A tiger in the city zoo has run out and hasnt been caught.D. The bike in front of your house is lost.BHumans have been keeping animals as pets for tens of thousands of years, but Dr. Jean-Loup Rault, an animal scientist at the University of Melbourne in Australia, believes new companions are coming: robot pets.“Technology is moving very fast,” Rault told ABC News, “The Tamagotchi in the early 1990s was really the first robotic pet, and now Sony and other big companies have improved them a lot.”This may not sit well with pet lovers. After all, who would choose a plastic toy over a lovely puppy? But Rault argues that the robotic kind has a lot going for it: “You dont have to feed it, you dont have to walk it, it wont make a mess in your house, and you can go on a holiday without feeling guilty.” The technology also benefits those who are allergic to pets, short on space, or fearful of real animals.Its not clear whether robot pets can replace real ones. But studies do suggest that we can bond with these smart machines. People give their cars names and kids give their toy animals life stories. Its the same with robots. When Sony stopped its repair service for its robot dog Aibo in March 2020, owners in Japan held funerals.As an animal welfare researcher, Rault is concerned about how robotic pets could affect our attitudes towards live animals. “If we become used to a robotic companion that doesnt need food, water or exercises, perhaps it will change how humans care about other living beings,” he said.So are dogs and cats a thing of the past, as Rault predicts? For those who grew up with living and breathing pets, the mechanical kind might not do. But for our next generation who are in constant touch with smart technology, a future in which lovely pets neednt have a heartbeat might not be a far-fetched dream.24. What does the underlined phrase “sit well with” means?A. be refused by B. be beneficial toC. make a difference to D. receive support from25. What are the advantages of robot pets?a. They are plastic and feel smooth.b. Owners neednt worry about them when going out.c. They can help cure allergies.d. They save space and costs.A. ab. B. bc. C. bd. D. cd.26. The passage mainly tells us _.A. the advantages of robot toys B. the popularity of robot petsC. living pets are dying out D. robot pets are comingCLastweek, twocompanies, KittyHawkandUber, announcedtheirplanstobring flyingcarstorealityverysoon.

Thisispossiblebyhavingahealthyattitudetowardstheaudience. Unlike many speakers that wonder whether the audience like them, with confidence your focus will shift away from whether the audience like you and move towards building a harmonious relationship from the moment you step on stage.Many speakers have a mind blank on stage because they have so many competing thoughts which make them upset about the result and the response of the audience. Being confident means you can think straight and manage your thoughts effectively. Getting rid of distracting thoughts allows you to concentrate on delivering the message.Speakers that lack confidence often say something that is not linked to the story that they are telling and use complex language, so their message can make the audience puzzled. Confident speakers have a message which is relevant, simple and honest and they use personal stories to build a connectio
