(A)
Have you ever regretted doing something you shouldn’t have done or something you didn’t do
which you should have? At one time or another we probably all have. There’s no 51 in getting
depressed about it now—it ’s no 52 crying over spilt (溢出的) milk. However, there may be
some gain in thinking about exactly what happened and why 53 we might be able to draw some
conclusions for the future.
One thing we all do now and again is to lose our 54 w ith a friend or close relative. The odd
thing is that we more often display great 55 towards someone we are fond of than towards
56 . The explanation may be that we see friends and relatives as a kind of safety net, an opportunity
to 57_ a bit of steam in a safe environment, while the consequences (后果) of 58_ a stranger
could be far more serious.
Being honest is usually thought of as a virtue (美德）and undoubtedly this is the 59_ . On the
other hand, we have all experienced occasions when we have spoken our minds to someone, telling
them exactly what we feel, and then have found ourselves filled w ith feelings of 60 . Perhaps we
should have kept our mouths shut?

Several factors make a good newspaper story. First—obviously—it must be new. But since TV
can react to events so quickly, this is often a problem for 61 . They usually respond to it in one of
three ways.
● By providing 62 detail, comment or background information.
● By finding a new 63 on the day’s major stories.
● By printing completely different stories which TV doesn’t broadcast.
What else? Well—it also has to be 64 . People don’t want to read about ordinary, everyday
life. Because of this, many stories 65 some kind of conflict or danger. This is one reason why
so much news seems to be 66 news, “Plane lands safely—no-one hurt” doesn’t sell newspapers.
“Plane 67 —200 feared dead!” does.
Next, there’s human interest, People are interested in other 68 —particularly in the rich,
famous and powerful, Stories about the private lives of pop singers, actors, models, politicians, 69 ,
all appear regularly in certain newspapers.
Finally, for many editors, 70 is an important factor, too. They prefer stories about people,
places and events which their readers know. That’s why the stories in Tokyo’s newspapers are often
very different from the stories printed in Paris, Cairo, New York or Buenos Aires.
61. A. newspapers B. publications C. reporters D. broadcasters
