2 . Professional critics and news consumers alike have long blamed the news media for running sensational (轰动的) content, but is sensationalism in the news media really such a bad thing?
According to NYU professor Mitchell Stephens, sensationalism has been around ever since early humans began telling stories. “I have never found a time when there wasn’t a form for the exchange of news that included sensationalism. This goes back to societies before written language appeared,” he said. In the 19th century, newspaper wars broke out and some businessmen were accused of sensationalizing the news in order to sell more papers. Whatever the time or setting, sensationalism is unavoidable in news.
Sensationalism serves a function by improving the spread of information to less-educated audiences and strengthening the social structure, Stephens said. “While there is plenty of silliness in various tales, they do manage to serve various important social or cultural functions. They help establish or question, for example, norms(规范) and limitations,” Stephens said .
Critics of sensationalism have always complained that when there is a limited amount of space available for news, the important news gets put aside when more sensational content comes along. That argument might be popular when the news universe was limited to newspapers and radio. But it doesn’t really make sense in an age when it’s possible to call up news from every corner of the world, from various newspapers, blogs, and news sites.
There’s another point to be made about sensational news stories: We love them. Sensational stories are the junk food of our news diet, the ice cream that you eagerly want. You know it’s bad for you but it’s delicious, and you can always have a salad tomorrow. It’s the same with news. Despite what high-minded critics might say, there’s nothing wrong with that. Indeed, an interest in the sensational news stories seems to be an all-too-human quality.
1. What do we know about sensational news from Paragraph 2?| A．It has a long history. |

Dear Robert,
I'm sorry to say that I cannot go to see a movie with you this weekend. I hope the change will not cause you too much trouble.
I was injured when I was playing basketball with my classmates this afternoon. I was sent to hospital, only to be told my leg was broken. The doctor suggested that I stay in bed for a while, which will help me recover. Therefore, I had no choice but to cancel our appointment. I sincerely hope you can accept my apologies.
I would appreciate it if you allow me to make another appointment to see a movie after I recover.
Yours,
Li Hua

4 . The custom of flying a piece of cloth high in the sky began more than 2,000 years ago in China. Since then, kites have been served in many fields, like doing scientific experiments, powering boats, taking pictures from the air and much more. In fact, kite-flying is a great way to clear the mind.
When Americans Kay and Larry Day found a store selling kites nearly 20 years ago, they decided to buy a few kites for their family. For fun, Larry bought one for himself. “He went out and flew it and decided he needed to go back and get a better one,” Kay remembered. Since then, she and her husband have loved kite-flying. They own many kites and plan trips around flying them. They also organize a kite-flying event each winter in their hometown in Iowa. “I’m at peace when I’m flying a kite,” said Larry.
Nic O’Neill, president of the American Kite-fliers Association said that kite-flying can be done alone or with friends and family. Kites appeal (有吸引力) to people who like to create works of art or to those who like to combine kite-flying with music. O’Neill said, “Part of the reason I love flying kites is that I have to risk trying and not succeeding. The best way to learn is to go out, undo the string (细绳) and let your kite fly. The perfect condition includes a nice steady wind and a place away from trees and buildings.”
Grant Lovett began flying simple kites as a child, but moved on to costlier and more complex kites as an adult. Today, Lovett likes making his own kites. He builds them from strong, lightweight materials and products designed for sailboats. Lovett attends kite-making classes and looks for new models on the Internet. He makes kites of different shapes and sizes because flying conditions can be greatly different. He also notes that experience makes a difference, and so does the weather and he likes the happy feelings that he experiences when his kite moves through the sky. “It is really calming,” he said.

7 . Summer vacation is over. How many of you have burned the midnight oil to finish your homework over the last few days?
It can be hard to be this responsible. A lot of people often put off difficult or big tasks until they absolutely must be done.
I myself am a bit of a procrastinator. But most of the time, I try to finish my work earlier rather than later. It just makes more sense—if I finish my work now, I’ll have more time to relax or work on other projects later. It can be hard to encourage myself to get started sometimes.

9 . Necessary things for travel
Personal alarm
VIA AMAZON. COM
$14.99
When you're traveling alone, particularly to a place that you know little about, it's important to give yourself peace of mind in terms of safety. A wearable personal safety alarm is a great idea.
It hugely adds to your sense of control on many a dark street and crowded public space. You can sleep with it under your pillow no matter what country you are in.
Portable charger
VIA AMAZON. COM
$27.95
With our phones acting as our lifelines, traveling with one at low battery can make you stressful and, if an emergency （紧急 情况）occurs, even dangerous. Keeping a portable charger on hand to give your phone the juice it needs to be useful is important, and it won' t take up much space in your bag at all. The peace of mind is worth it.
Hand sanitiser (消毒液)
VIA AMAZON. COM
$12.99
As a traveler, you should always carry hand sanitiser. It's small enough that you can't even notice it in a pocket of your bag, and it's totally fine to take through any airport. When it comes to hygiene-related (卫生相关的) emergencies, you really can't do without it. Believe it or not, alcohol- based hand sanitiser can even help you get a fire started, which could, of course, be important in a survival situation.
Reusable water bottle with Alter (过滤器)
VIA AMAZON. COM
$36.84
As anyone who's traveled in the past two decades knows, liquids above the 3. 4-ounce limit will be taken away at the security checkpoint. Carry a reusable water bottle that includes a filter.
