Some teenagers think that newspapers are boring and only for adults. But that’s not true. There are many interesting stories in the paper. You just need to make clear what you are looking at. “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 (国际的)problems to pop stars.
Read the newspaper carefully, and we’ll find different kinds of article on the pages：
News stories---these stories are about events(事件). 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 their ideas. They make readers believe that they are telling the truth(真相). 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(产品)! People have to pay to put advertisements in newspapers!The underlined sentence “You just need to make clear what you are looking at.” means that the readers“____”.

Many of you have heard a Cinderella（灰姑娘） story，but you may not know that there are over a hundred different ways to tell the Cinderella story．When writers tell the same story in a different way，it is called their"version"of the story．The story of Cinderella has many different versions．Let's read two of them and find out how they are different．
The version that most people know is the oldest one written in 1697 by Charles Perrault from France．This is the version where the birds help make Cinderella's dress and the mice turn into carriage men（马车夫） and help Cinderella go to the dance in a pumpkin（南瓜） carriage．In this version，many of the animals are Cinderella's friends．They help her meet the Prince．Cinderella marries the Prince and they live happily together ever after．
In another version of this story written in the 1850s by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm from Germany，the birds help Cinderella in the whole story．Cinderella's father gives her a little tree when he comes back from a party．She plants the little tree and her tears water it until it grows into a tall tree．
The birds now live in the tree and they give Cinderella a dress of gold and shoes of gold．Cinderella goes to the party to meet and dance with the Prince．Later，he finds Cinderella at home doing work for her stepmother（继母）．Cinderella marries the Prince and they live happily ever after．
