Look to see if the story you are reading is on other news sites that you know and trust.If you do find it on many other sites,then it probably isn't fake( although there are some exceptions).

Newspapers are dying.Electronic devices like mobile phones,pads,TVs and car radios can all be the killers.Most people believe in the long run,there is no reason• no practical reason for newspapers to survive.No matter what we do may only buy time.
Can anything save newspapers?I decided to have a try.
Many years ago,Bonnier,a Swedish publisher,set a newspaper in the former Soviet countries .After a few years,they had more newspapers in central and eastern Europe.However,these newspapers were run by a group of inexperienced people,and they didn't have enough money.In many places there were not even art directors.
I got a position in Bonnier's newspaper as an art director.
It was very difficult at first.I was really disappointed,until one day,in Londonn,when I saw performance by Cirque du Soleil. "These guys took some run﹣down entertainment,and put it to the highest possible level of performance art.M Inspiration lighted me up, "Why can't we do the same with the newspapers.We started to redesign the newspapers,one by one.
We used our imagination.We treated the whole newspaper as one piece,one composition - like music.
Music has a rhythm,has ups and downs.Design is responsible for this experience.Flipping through pages was readers' experience and I was responsible for this experience.
The front page became my personal channel to talk to the readers.My approach was simple and direct.I wanted to show my understanding of art,and of reality.I wanted to make posters,not newspapers.Not even magazines:posters.
We had determination,and we kept on trying.We experimented with type,with illustration and with photos.We kept asking:Why do we do it?What's our goal?
Design was not only about the front page.It was a part of the process.To be good was not enough.The process we made was about improving the product completely.
We adjusted the content accordingly.We improved everything to what our readers thought it should be and how they liked reading it.We kept improving and we had fun.
Soon in Poland ,our pages were named "Covers of the Year" three times in a row.One year later this newspaper,in the same country,they named it the "World's Best﹣Designed Newspaper".Two years later,the same award came to Estonia.The circulation of the newspapers kept going up.They became more and more popular.
Someone may think we are buying time,but our newspapers are alive,and growing.
(1)According to the passage,most people think newspapers .
A. |
will be replaced |
B. |
should be improved |
C. |
need to be saved |
D. |
may die immediately |
(2)Why did the writer go to work in Bonnier's newspaper?
A. |
Art director was a well﹣paid position. |
B. |
It would die and he was going to save it. |
C. |
He hoped to get more working experience. |
D. |
It was a big publishing company in Europe. |
(3)Which of the following is probably the writer's opinion?
A. |
Newspapers can be alive if they are designed as posters. |
B. |
The other newspapers can develop as quickly as Bonnier. |
C. |
We may only buy time no matter how we save newspapers. |
D. |
Newspapers won't survive unless we keep improving them. |

To become a better person,we should go to school every day.So how can we become powerful and start changes in our own life?Perhaps we can get some tips from the US First Lady Michelle Obama.During her visit to China,from March 20–26,Mrs.Obama shared her views on education with students.
The first lady encouraged Chinese students to aim high and get a good education.In Chengdu No.7 High School,she told students that having poor roots doesn't matter A long as you work hard.

Persevering was not easy,though.Sometimes she had to wake up at 4:30 a.m.and study late into the night. "But whenever I got tired or discouraged,I would remember something my mother always told me," she said, "A good education is something that ①take,no,from,can,one,away,you."
