The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years. In 1721, the printer James Franklin， Benjamin's older brother, started the New England Courant, and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper. He filled his paper with stories of adventure, articles on art, on famous people and on all sorts of political subjects.

Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin's Courant, few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long . Newspaper complies are losing advertisers (广告商), readers, market value , and in some cases, their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago. The chief editor (主编) of the times said recently, "At places where they gather, editors ask one another，“How are you?”，as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law came." An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian, under the headline "NOT DEAD YET."

Perhaps not, but the rise of the Internet，which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world, has brought about a real sense of death. Some American newspapers have lost 42% of their market value.

9．What can we learn about the New England Courant?

A. It is mainly about the stock market.

B. It marks the beginning of the American newspaper.

C. It remains a successful newspaper in America.

D. It carries articles by political leaders.

10. What can we infer about the newspaper editors?

A. They often accept readers' suggestions

B. They care a lot about each other's health.

C. They stop doing business with advertisers.

D. They face great difficulties in their business.

11. How does the author seem to feel about the future of newspapers?

A. Satisfied B. Hopeful

C. Worried D. Surprised

D

You wake up in the morning.The day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time.Then the telephone rings，you say hello，and the drama starts.The person on the other end has a depressing (令人沮丧的) tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to. Are you still in a wonderful mood？Impossible!

Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness.It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.

Life brings ups and downs,but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer.They only feel glad when they make others feel bad. No wonder they can hardly win others' pity or respect.

When you communicate with positive people,your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.When the dagger (匕首) of a negative person is put in you,you have the heavy feeling that all in all,brings you down.

Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people.This could be a coworker，or a relative.In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible.

Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person,but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won't feel ashamed of themselves about that.

Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized.The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to (附着) you throughout the rest of your day, which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness. Life is too short to feel negative. Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.

12. The purpose of the first paragraph is to

A．make a comparison B. offer an evidence

C．introduce a topic D. describe a daily scene

13．How can negative people have effect on us?

A. By influencing our emotion.

B. By telling us the nature of life.

C. By changing our way of thinking.

D. By comparing their attitude to life with ours.

14．Some negative people base their happiness on________.

A．other people's pity for them

B．making other people unhappy

C．building up a positive attitude

D．other people's respect for them

15．According to the passage, to reduce negative people's influence on us, we are advised________.

A．to change negative people's attitude to life

B．to show our dissatisfaction to negative people

C．to make negative people feel ashamed of themselves

D．to communicate with negative people as little as possible
