3 . Some teenagers think that newspapers are boring and only for adults. But that's not true. There are many interesting stories in the paper. __________________________ . “I spend about half an hour reading newspapers every day,” said 15-year-old Gao Ming from Beijing. “I'm interested in things happening at school.” School news is just one kind of news story in newspapers. There's also world news: from international problems to pop stars.
Read the newspaper carefully, we'll find different types of articles on the pages:
News stories — these stories are about events. Reporters try to show all points of a story to help readers understand what happened. Reporters try to speak to as many people as possible. They also use pictures and numbers to show the readers that the stories are true. The newspaper Teenagers has lots of news stories on the news page and front page. When we read them, we learn more about the facts, not the writers’ ideas.
Opinion writing — opinion writing is usually about something happening right now. But it isn't just facts. Here writers add their own opinions to the news. Writers pick only the facts that help back up their ideas. They make readers believe that they are telling the truth. This is usually the kind of story that gets people thinking. Go to “Speak Out” on Page Two for an example of opinion writing in Teenagers.
Advertisement — Don’t get happy too early when you read them. Those sweet words and lovely pictures are just ways to get us interested in their products! People have to pay to put advertisements in newspapers!

Look at the photo of a boy. Do you know who he is? Many Chinese people know him very well now. His name is Lin Hao. He is only nine years old now, but he can save his two partners during the earthquake in Sichuan on May 12, 2008. He carried his two partners with his weak back at that dangerous time. And they got nothing about his parents then. His fourteen-year-old sister took them away and walked seven hours difficultly. At last, they got to Du Jiangyan City safely. He was very calm when he appeared in the picture of the reporter’s cameral. Just as his brave behavior, we are all moved. And he was named “Ten Little Heroes during the Earthquake” by CCTV.
At the same time, another nine children were named “Ten Little Heroes during the Earthquake” by CCTV. Lei Chunian, a 15-year-old child, is a middle school student.

On the half way, he found there were only six. At that very dangerous time, he ran back to the classroom again. He found a girl crying there because of fearing. He asked her to run away quickly. But she was too afraid to move. So he carried her and ran out of the classroom. A few seconds later, the building fell down and they were all safe.
Let’s remember all these little heroes for ever. They are Ren Dong, Ning Jiaci, Dong Yupei, Liu Li, Tang Fuwen, Kang Jie, Zhou Wen, Yin Quankui and Zhu Hualin. We should learn their spirit of helping others during the dangerous time. Among them, Liu Li and Zhou Wen lost their lives. Zhou Wen is a Tibet (藏族) girl.
