Farmer John and Farmer Bob were neighbours. For more than 30 years, they had been getting along very well.
Then their good relationship broke. It began with a small thing, then hitter(怨恨的)words, and then weeks of silence. One morning Farmer John woke up to find a stream(溪流) between the two farms. "It must be Bob." John thought.
Then one day there was a knock on John's door. He opened it to find a carpenter (木匠) standing at the doorway.
"I'm looking for a few days' work," the carpenter said.

At sunset when the farmer returned, the carpenter had just finished his job. The farmer's eyes opened wide. There was no fence there at all! It was a bridge! And the neighbour, Bob, was coming across, with his hand outstretched(伸出).“Hi. John! You’re quite a fellow to build this bridge!”
Then they met in the middle, taking each other's hands. "I'm terribly sorry for what I have said and done. We should be good to each other." said Farmer Bob.

Almost all people like flowers. Some people like flowers because of their smells, shapes ,colors and so on. Others like flowers because they think different flowers mean different things. Flowers have their own language. For example, red roses mean "love" and sunflowers mean "loyalty(忠诚)".

"There is nothing left between the sky and the earth any more. Everything has been pulled down, " said one of the villagers alive. "There is no water, no food and no one has come to help. "
Nobody died in Pakistan, a country next to India. The City of Lahore was lucky. In Lahore American School, where I was studying, all of the students were safe. They were on the field, so most children didn't feel anything. The earthquake was felt by the teachers that were on the second floor. However, though Mrs Young was also on the second floor, she didn't feel anything. She didn't know what happened until a teacher told her about it. Those teachers who were on the other floors had different feelings. Mr Emond, the maths teacher from Australia, said that when the earthquake started he thought there was something wrong with him, but then another teacher said that it was an earthquake. After those words Mr Emond felt better. Mrs Davis and Mr Frost didn't feel anything either.
My mother didn't feel anything. She didn't even know that it was an earthquake till she saw a shaking (moving from side to side) light. My dad saw the computer shaking and then he looked out of the window and saw many people going out.
62. People use "Ritcher scale" to tell .
A. where the earthquake takes place B. when the earthquake takes place
C. how serious the earthquake is D. how long the earthquake lasts

Hundreds of years ago, news was carried from place to place by people on foot or by horse. It took days, weeks and sometimes months for people to receive news. Now it is possible to send words and pictures around the world in seconds. Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and all over the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers.
Newspapers have been an important part of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors decide which news stories to print? Why do they choose some stories and not others? What makes a good newspaper story?
Firstly, it is important to report news stories. TV stations can report news much faster than newspapers. Yet, newspapers give more about the same story. They may also look at the story in another way, or they may print completely different stories to those on TV.
Secondly, a news story has to be interesting and unusual. People don’t want to read stories about everyday life. As a result, many stories are about some kind of danger and seem to be “bad” news. For example, newspapers never print stories about planes landing safely, instead they print stories about plane accidents.
Another factor（因素）is also very important in many news stories. Many people are interested in news in foreign countries, but more prefer to read stories about people, places and events in their own country. So the stories on the front page in Chinese newspapers are usually very different from the ones in British, French and American newspapers.
Title: the ways of 76 the news
