News stories give facts, not the reporter's opinions. Some newspaper editorials (社论) come out with the writer's name, but many newspapers only carry editorials without putting the writers' names on.
You can be a better reader if you know what to expect in a newspaper. For example, you can expect headlines to leave out unnecessary words. You can expect to find the most important facts in the leading paragraph (the first paragraph) of a news story. You can expect important news items to be on the front page. You can expect less important items to be on the inside pages.
Most of all, the more you know about news of the present time, the more you will understand what is in the newspaper; important stories are generally presented one day and followed up on following days. So, an important way to read newspapers is reading one frequently.

听力原文: Well, for those of you who went out today, I dont have to tell you it was clear but muggy for most of the state, with high temperatures in the low to mid 90's. The city of Elkview had the high for the day at 97 degrees. And thafs hot. I'm glad I'm working indoors today!

However, things might change by Saturday evening with a storm front moving in. We can expect light, scattered showers over the northern part of the state bringing slightly cooler temperatures in the 80's, but this rain should taper off by mid-Sunday morning. It will be partly cloudy for most of the morning, but these clouds should move out by mid-afternoon. Skies should be clear Sunday night, and we recommend catching a glimpse of the partial lunar eclipse. It should start at 10:47 p.m. And that's all for today's weather.
What is the report mainly about?
A.A storm watch.
B.The weather.

Recent economic hardship has given the consumer increased power in Europe as retailers(零售商) fight to win their share of reduced disposable(可任意使用的)income. This has meant falling prices, plenty of special offers and a re-examination of what customer service really means. People often point to America as an example of sophisticated customer service. In restaurants in the south of the USA, for example, waiters compliment(称赞) you on your clothes, ask about your day, compliment you on the wisdom of your order and then return every ten minutes to refill your glass and make sure that everything is to your satisfaction.
Anyone who has waited 30 minutes to be served in a restaurant might well dream of such attention, but do Europeans really want US style. service? As a friend of mine once told me, "By the end of the evening I had spent as much time talking to the waiter as to my wife. It is a question of expectations. Different nationalities expect different types of service.
Attitudes to service are, of course, affected by employers attitudes to their workers. As American sales and service personnel are heavily reliant(依赖) on commission and tips, they have more incentive(动机) to provide more service. But is this fair? Do we think it is fair to ask shop assistants to work late evenings, Sundays and lg hour shifts? Does it fit in with our picture of society? It might not be a case of "Is the customer always right?" but a case of "How much service is it fair to expect?"
The Europeans have to reexamine what customer service means because______.
A.retailers are under increasing pressure to improve their service and cater more for consumer demands
B.America has been set as an example of good customer service
C.they are aware that attitudes to shopping and consumers may vary in different countries
D.consumers income has been reduced
W: Well, Peter, it's an event that's open to anybody who'd like to ride a bicycle through the streets of Montreal. The tour covers a standard distance of 65 kilometers. But the route's quite different every year. So even people who've already done it might enjoy doing it again. Cyclists are free to go as fast or as slow and do as much or as little of the course as they like. The typical pace for a participant is between 12 and 30 kin per hour. Some cyclists stop along the way and don't cross the finish line until early evening. But the whole point is that there is no rush. It's not a race. Last year's tour had 45 thousand cyclists and it was the largest mass cycling event in the world.
M: How many do you expect this year?
W: The same as last year. And since we regularly have so many participants, can I take this opportunity to remind our listeners to sign up early? We filled up quickly last year and we had to refuse lots of applications.
What are the speakers talking about?
A.How to increase one's speed in a bicycle race.
B.Major American bicycle races.
C.The contributions of cycling to health.
D.An annual cycling event.

Is the customer always right? The answer, it seems, depends on which country you are in. Shopping is very much a part of a country's culture, and attitudes to shopping and consumers vary from country to country just as much as climate or taste in food. From the air-conditioned order of American malls to the disorder of African markets, the way we shop shows the way we see ourselves and our relationships with other people.
