In order to compete （竞争）with television, newspapers do one of these three things: they give more 43 about a news story; they look at the story from 44 point of view; or they print very different stories from those 45 .
So a story has to be new. But 46 ? Well, it has to be exciting. People don’t want to read stories about 47 , everyday life. Because of this, many stories describe some kind of 48 .

A
“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it! ”That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.
Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel now smooth （光滑的）and cold the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. The roundness, smoothness, coldness and heaviness are all parts of the ball. When you feel all these things about the ball, you really see it.
You can feel surprisingly well. For example, your fingers （手指）can tell the difference of coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand.
You can even feel sounds. Have you ever wondered why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music as well as to hear them.
All children soon learn what “Don’t touch! ”means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep right on touching things as we grow up. In stores, we touch things we want to buy: food, clothing, tables and beds. To see something well, we have to touch it.
Our feet can feel things too. You know this when you walk without wearing shoes on warm sand, cool grass and a soft rug （地毯）. All feel different under your feet.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, and the air... At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them.
Most things on show in museums are just for looking. But today, “Do touch! ”There you can feel the shape （形状）of a gun, the smooth silk of a dress, and the rough wood of an old chair.
51. By holding a glass ball in your hands, you can not feel _______ it is.
A. how much B. how cold
C. how heavy D. how smooth
52. It is not easy to feel ________ on your feet at first because you are too used to them.
A. the grass B. the sand
C. the shoes D. the rug
53. In stores people usually touch things _______.
A. they like B. they want to buy
C. that are beautiful D. that are expensive
54. Some people like loud music because ______.

Your friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks （点击）away. Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group.
“I don’t often talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ, ”said Fox’s Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. “Most of my classmates use QQ after school. ”
QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record from Tencent, the company which developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October.
And probably Fox’s Shadow was one of them. “I log in （登陆）on Friday nights, and Saturdays or Sundays when I feel everything around me boring. I usually spend about ten hours chatting （聊天）online every week, ”she said. “But I never talk with stranger, especially boys or men. ”
Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with stranger online. “You don’t know who you’re talking to. You should always be careful about whom you believe in online. ”
Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have got to know someone very well. Fox’s Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a football fan like herself and they went to a football match together.
A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Bart Simon online, dislikes QQ users. “I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolish things, ”he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. “I only chat online because I’ve got friends in Japan, the US and Singapore, ”he said. “I want to learn more about foreign cultures（文化）. ”But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money.
“If you are really addicted to （上瘾）it, sometimes you can’t give your mind to your lessons, ”he said. “And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online. ”

55. People meet face to face offline when they think they ________.
A. have known each other well
B. have the same interest
C. have enough free time
D. have nothing to do
56. Fox’s Shadow thinks QQ is ________.
A. the biggest messaging service in China
B. a good place to spend her boring time
C. a safe place to chat with strangers
D. the best place to make friends

B. it is easy and fast to get in touch with your friends
C. it is possible to live much closer to your friends

C
“When are you going on holiday? And where? ”are usual questions in the office before the summer holiday, and the answer often is: “In one week, to the beach. ”“Aha! You have a beautiful tan（＝brown by sunshine）! How was your holiday? ”These continue for days after you return.
Many Europeans have not only weekends and bank holidays but also five to seven weeks paid leave. Usually parents in the summer plan to spend three or four weeks with the family. Because of my earlier years in China, I found it difficult to understand the European attitude （态度）toward holidays.
During my childhood in the 1960s, my parents were always busy with work and meetings. They left early in the morning and came back late in the evening. My sisters, my brother and I were left alone with Grandma. We saw our parents only on Sundays and during the few holidays. The only long period （一段）of time during which the whole family could be together once a year was the Spring Festival. We missed our parents badly, but didn’t say so because we had been told that hard work was everyone’s duty and that we could not have our own small family without a big family.
Later I was a hard working student and, during summer or winter holidays, often stayed alone at university to have more time to study. I was always encouraged by my parents, for whom the holiday was less important than “work”and “study”. Holidays were a waste of time and I felt as if I had done something wrong if I took a holiday or did nothing during a holiday.
I spent the most difficult period of my life abroad. But when I joined this company, my boss didn’t seem to think it right for me to work like that. When I called him at home after office hours for business purposes （目的）, he politely told me that he preferred talking about work with me in the office.
When the holiday season came near, he asked me to plan my leave beforehand （提前）. He talked with me about his holiday and also asked about mine. For him, leave was a right.
Giving up a holiday for the company is encouraged in China, but is foolish here. I began to think about holidays.
Today my parents are retired （退休）and stay home with a lot of time for their children. But we are all grown- up and live far away. We miss each other, but we cannot afford to see each other very much and they often feel sorry for the fact that they were too busy to be able to take care of us when we were young.
Nowadays, Chinese take long weekends and have paid holidays. But do they use their holidays to enjoy family life? I hope so because my experience in China and Europe has helped me understand that work is not my whole life and that a family is also very important. I do not want to feel sorry in the future as my parents do and I certainly spend as much time with my son as possible.
There is nothing wrong with either working hard or taking holidays, but we shouldn’t have one instead of the other. It is important to keep a balance （平衡）between work and play.
59. What do the underlined words “paid leave
