The earliest newspapers started in ancient Rome. They were handwritten news sheets. The first printed newspapers appeared in China during the Tang dynasty, which were printed from carved wooden blocks. Modern papers first appeared in Venice, Italy in the middle of the 14th century. The newspapers of today, with advertising and a mixture of political, economic, and social news and comments, were started in Britain in the mid-18th century.
The main function of newspapers is to report news. Many newspapers also provide special information to readers, such as weather reports and television timetables. They also provide comments on politics, economics, arts and culture. Almost all newspapers depend on advertising to make money.
Nearly six out of ten adults in the United States and Canada read a newspaper every day. Seven out of ten read a paper each weekend. Readers search newspapers for detailed background information and analysis. This is what television and radio news reports seldom offer. Newspapers tell readers what happened, and they also help readers understand what caused an event and how it will affect the world around them.
The workers at large newspaper companies work under a lot of pressure to bring news to readers as soon as possible. Reporters, photographers, artists, and editors collect articles in just a few hours. Page designers select articles, photos, advertisements, and eye-catching headlines to make the pages, and then rush their work to the printer. Printing workers may work overnight around printing presses to churn out more than 60,000 copies per hour.
1.Which is the best title for the passage?
A. Production of Newspapers
B. Functions of Newspapers
C. Publication of Newspapers
D. An Introduction to Newspapers
2.We can infer everything from the passage EXCEPT that ________.
A. newspapers will become less popular because of the development of TV
B. few newspapers have no advertising
C. many adults in America read newspapers every day
D. people can read about many different issues in newspapers
3.The phrase "churn out" in the last paragraph probably means ________.
A. press B. produce C. publish D. sell

There were many beautiful buildings in ancient Rome, but the living conditions for ordinary people were bad. Most of their homes were so poorly made that they fell down or were fire hazards (danger) with their steep, narrow wooden stairways. Most people were packed into apartment buildings that rose shakily (unsafely) six to twelve floors above the ground. The apartments were rooms about three metres square, and each building housed about five hundred people.
These tall buildings faced each other across streets only three metres wide, so no sunlight reached the ground. Even so, apartments were costly, though cheaper places could be found outside Rome. But people wanted to be near their work and entertainment. So the streets became crowded and it was hard to move quickly. At night, the streets were filled with noise as food and supplies were brought into the city on wagons and carts.
1.In ancient Rome, most people lived in ________ apartments.
A.small and crowded B.clean and tidy
C.spacious and sunny D.tall and big
