26、what was happening elsewhere. In Britain during the nineteenth century The Thunderer, as The Times is today, was called the only way of discovering the news. There were no telephones, TVs, mobile phones, radios, computers or the Internet. In fact in the nineteenth century the career of a journalist
27、was a very important one. That was why the newspaper was called The Thunderer because it used to fight for issues that it felt were important.

Readers rely on newspapers to provide detailed background information and analysis, which television and radio newscasts rarely offer. Newspapers not only inform readers that an event happened, but also help
30、readers understand what led up to the event and how it will affect the world around them.But is the situation all gloom(忧愁)and despair? What about the Internet? Many newspapers are seeing the Internet as an opportunity rather than a disadvantage. They have published their newspapers online and somet
31、imes offered their readers the news free. In return they build up reader loyalty(忠诚)and perhaps persuade some to buy the newspaper sometimes. But is this good for printed newspapers? Will they finally be replaced entirely by Internet newspapers? No one can say what will happen in the future. But cer
32、tainly the most popular printed newspapers in Britain are also those that are most widely read on the Internet. So perhaps the future for journalists is not as serious as it might appear.

Newspapers.2. Whats the main reason why fewer people read printed newspapers today than before in Britain? A. Pe
34、ople dont enjoy reading newspapers any more.B. Mobile phones and computers can offer more detailed information.C.

The Internet newspaper will totally replace the printed newspaper.B. Its certain that journalists will be out of work in the near future.C.
38、 Many printed newspapers have taken advantage of the Internet to win over more readers.D. Many printed newspapers have found more disadvantages than advantages of the Internet.BAs a journalist, a writer aims to collect all of the facts about an event or incident and present them as truthfully and fa
39、ctually as possible. But sometimes leading members of the government or other high-ranking officials dont want the truth to be told. Journalism can be a risky and sometimes even dangerous profession. Sometimes journalists risk their lives in order to report an important story. At other times, they r
40、isk going to jail rather than reveal (透露) one of their sources of information.Unfortunately, many journalists are killed every year just for doing their jobs. Over thirty reporters were killed last year alone. These people asked questions, researched records and reported on the truths they found. Th
41、e following stories are examples of the dangers journalists face around the world.In the country of Haiti, a radio talk show host was murdered after allowing members of a political opposition party to express their ideas on his radio show. He was killed by a mob of people holding machetes(大砍刀).The e
42、ditor of a weekly newspaper in Mexico was shot in the head shortly after he reported a story that revealed something corrupt about the federal government. He had reported that local politicians were using drug trafficking money to fund their elections.In the Ukraine, a television show host was attac
43、ked and beaten with baseball bats by people who didnt like the content of his TV show. His last show was about government corruption.Good journalists must be brave. Other people might do everything possible to avoid exposing government corruption. But good journalists are driven to make the communit
44、y more aware of the truth and to fight for freedom.Sometimes, these courageous journalists are successful in bringing about social changes.
