To write a great news story , you have to make sure it is correct , relevant (相关的) and fresh..
For a start, all the information in a story must be correct. Not only the spelling and grammar, but also the facts.
Any mistakes that appear (出现） in a story can get a newspaper into big trouble.
For example, if a newspaper said that Yang Liwei was the first man to go into space, it would be wrong. He wasn't the first. The newspaper would probably lose lots of readers because of that mistake.
A news story is not only correct ，but also relevant to its readers . People are mostly interested in news that happens near to them . That is why you care more about what happens at your school that at American schools. It is also why newspapers in Beijing don 't talk about much news in Shanghai or Hong Kong.
Finally, news must always be fresh . When you pick up your evening newspaper, you want to read about news that happens that day. You don't want to read about news from last week !
So, now you know what makes a good news story . Have a good look at our newspaper and see if it is full of good news .you can try writing a news story for our newspaper like a real reporter.The writer mentions __________ main factors (因素）to make a news story really great.
| A．two | B．three | C．four | D．five. |

The summer holiday is coming． What a perfect chance to plan a trip! How about backpacking （背包旅行）？ Maybe you're too young to do it． But it doesn't matter． Follow me and you'll learn about an interesting way to travel．
Have you ever noticed foreigners with big bags on their backs？ They wear jeans and T﹣shirts， and have guidebooks or maps in their hands． They look curious （好奇的） about everything they see． They enjoy themselves without a tour group． That's right! They are backpackers．
Backpacking is a popular way for Westerners to travel outside of their country． It's cheap so that people can travel more and see more places． Most backpackers are young people because backpacking needs a strong body， courage and freedom．
Backpackers usually do some homework before setting out． They search for information about their destination （目的地） country： food， fun places to visit， hostels （青年旅舍） and things to buy． They are sure they know how to change planes or where to get the train．
Backpacking is a freer way to travel． You can change your destination whenever you want． It also allows travelers to explore and see more． And you can decide how long to stay there． If you go with a tour group， there may be a lot of rules and you may not be free to do things as you like．

Yang Yu， 14， of Jilin， hasn't adapted （适应） himself to the changes in his classroom since the first day of this term： teachers now hold classes with a computer and screen． "Instead of writing on the blackboard as before， they click the mouse and show us the Power Point （PPT） slides （幻灯片） on the screen． Sometimes， there is not even one word on the blackboard after a whole class，" Yang said． "I'm not quite used to the multimedia （多媒体） class．"
More and more middle schools in China now use multimedia in class． Teachers put their courses on a computer and show their lessons with a PPT． To make the lessons more interesting， they play animations （动画） and movies．
Hu Wei， an English teacher in Sichuan， thinks multimedia class seems to be more interesting than traditional classes． His students practice their oral English by following music and animations on a computer． "It helps them speak English bravely and actively，" Hu says． "Besides， it's also a helpful tool for teachers because showing PPTs saves us more time than writing notes on the blackboard．"
However， multimedia class makes things more difficult for students like Liu Yifang， a 15﹣year﹣old Beijinger． She can't take all her notes as before． "There are no words on the blackboard， but many on the screen，" Liu says． "Besides， my teacher speaks so fast that I can't catch up．"
Liu thinks it is not the best way to learn． "For me， I like the old way． I agree that the multimedia is helpful， but so is the blackboard，" Liu says． "If teachers can use both tools properly in class， I think that will be really good for everyone．"
（1）What equipment （设备） do Yang Yu's teachers use in multimedia class？
（2）According to Paragraph 2， what can teachers do to make their lessons more interesting？
（3）How do teachers save students more time in class according to Hu Wei？
（4）How many reasons does Liu Yifang mention why she can't take all her notes as before？
（5）What's Liu Yifang's advice on class teaching？
