Before the 1830s,most newspapers were sold through annual subscriptions in America,usually $8 to $10 a year.Today $8 or $10 seems a small amount of money,but at that time these amounts were forbidding to most citizens.Accordingly,newspapers were read almost only by rich people in politics or the trades.Inaddition,most newspapers had little in them that would appeal to a mass audience.They were dull and visually forbidding.But the revolution that was taking place in the 1830s would change all that.

The trend,then,was toward the “penny paper”—a term referring to papers made widely available to the public.It meant any inexpensive newspaper;perhaps more importantly it meant newspapers that could be bought in single copies on the street.

This development did not take place overnight.It had been possible(but not easy)to buy single copies of newspapers before 1830,but this usually meant the reader had to go down to the printer’s office to purchase a copy.Street sales were almost unknown.However,within a few years,street sales of newspapers would be commonplace in eastern cities.At first the price of single copies was seldom a penny—usually two or three cents was charged—and some of the older well-known papers charged five or six cents.Butthe phrase “penny paper” caught the public’s fancy,and soon there would be papers that did indeed sell for only a penny.

This new trend of newspapers for “the man on the street” did not begin well.Some of the early ventures(企业)were immediate failures.Publishers already in business,people who were owners of successful papers,had little desire to change the tradition.It took a few youthful and daring businessmen to get the ball rolling.

4.Which of the following best describes newspapers in America before the 1830s?

A.Academic. B.Unattractive.

C.Inexpensive. D.Confidential.

5.What did street sales mean to newspapers?

A.They would be priced higher.

B.They would disappear from cities.

C.They could have more readers.

D.They could regain public trust.

6.Who were the newspapers of the new trend targeted at?

A.Local politicians.

B.Common people.

C.Young publishers.

D.Rich businessmen.

7.What can we say about the birth of the penny paper?

A.It was a difficult process.

B.It was a temporary success.

C.It was a robbery of the poor.

D.It was a disaster for printers.

AFewTipsforSelf-Acceptance

We all want it...to accept and love ourselves.But at times it seems too difficult and too far out of reach.　1　 Here’s a handful of ways that will set you in the right direction. 

●　2　 Do not follow the people who make you feel not-good-enough.Why do you follow them?Are you hoping that eventually you will feel empowered because your life is better than theirs?Know that your life is your own;you are the only you in this world. 

●Forgive yourself for mistakes that you have made.We are often ashamed of our shortcomings,our mistakes and our failures.　3　 You will make mistakes,time and time again.Rather than getting caught up in how you could have done better,why not offer yourself a compassionate(有同情心) response?“That didn’t go as planned.But,I tried my best.” 

●Recognize all of your strengths.Write them down in a journal.Begin to train your brain to look at strength before weakness.List all of your accomplishments and achievements.You have a job,earned your degree,and you got out of bed today.　4　 

●Now that you’ve listed your strengths,list your imperfections.Turn the page in your journal.Put into words why you feel unworthy,why you don’t feel good enough.Now,read these words back to yourself.　5　 Turn to a page in your journal to your list of strengths and achievements.See how awesome you are?

考点规范练24(必修5　Unit4)

Ⅰ.【解题导语】文章主要介绍了四个著名的记者。

1.B　细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Herrefusaltohideherstrongopinions,evenwhenaskingquestionstoapresident,...”可知,HelenThomas不隐藏自己的观点。

2.A　推理判断题。根据第二段中的“whiledcoveringtheSiegeofHomsinSyria”可知,MarieColvin曾在叙利亚报道霍姆斯的围攻,由此推测,她非常勇敢。

3.C　细节理解题。根据第三段中的“MaryGarberchangedthatbypavingthewayforfemalesportswriters.Shefirstcoveredhighschoolsportsandthenreportedoncollegeathletics.”可知,MaryGarber改变了大家对女性体育记者的看法,并为女性记者争得一席之地。

【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了“便士报”产生的背景及其发展的艰难过程。

4.B　细节理解题。根据第一段的第四、五句“Inaddition,mostnewspapershadlittleinthemthatwouldappealtoamassaudience.Theyweredullandvisuallyforbidding.”可知,当时的报纸枯燥无味,没有吸引力。

5.C　推理判断题。根据第二段的“...papersmadewidelyavailabletothepublic.”和“...thatcouldbeboughtinsinglecopiesonthestreet.”可知,街头销售能让报纸有更多的读者。

6.B　细节理解题。根据最后一段的第一句“Thisnewtrendofnewspapersfor‘themanonthestreet’didnotbeginwell.”中提到的“themanonthestreet”可知,报纸的目标读者是普通人。

7.A　推理判断题。最后一段中提到“早期的一些企业是直接失败的。那些拥有成功报纸的出版商几乎不想改变传统。一些年轻大胆的商人才把这件事情推动起来。”由此推测,便士报的推动过程比较艰难。

Ⅱ.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了自我接受的几种方法,倡导自尊自信、乐观向上的人生态度。

1.B　此处为过渡句。根据上文提到的接纳自己有时很难,联系下文的“Here’sahandfulofwaysthatwillsetyouintherightdirection.”可知,此处表示“从何处开始呢?”。故B项合适。

2.F　段前空格考查主题句。根据后面的“Donotfollowthepeoplewhomakeyoufeelnot-good-enough.”可知,此处表示“停止与别人比较”。故选F项。

3.D　此处为段中承上启下过渡句。根据开头提及的“Forgiveyourselfformistakes...”以及后面的“Youwillmakemistakes...”可知,此处表示“要记住,你只是个普通人”。故选D项。

4.C　此处为总结句。本段讲述要认识自身的长处,将它们写进日记,将你的成就列出来。你有一份工作,你获得了学位,你今天没有赖床。最后总结:无论事情多小,都值得庆贺。故选C项。

5.A　此处为过渡句。根据上文中的“Putintowordswhyyoufeelunworthy,whyyoudon’tfeelgoodenough.”可知,此处表示“又感到不安了吗?”。don’tfeelgoodenough与A项中的upset同义。故选A项。

Ⅲ.Dear Peter,
