请阅读短文，掌握其大意，然后根据短文内容从下面方框中的七个选项中选出五个还原到短文中，使短文意思通顺、结构完整。（每小题2分）
Newspapers are not nearly as popular today as they were in the past. 1. Most people read only the sports pages, the advice or the gossip（闲话，绯闻）columns, the comics, and perhaps the classified advertisements.
Most people don't take the time to read the real news. 2. These techniques（技术，手段）are used on the front page because it is the first thing you see when you pick up the paper. The first page attracts attention and encourages the reader to look through the rest of the paper. 3. If the headline is horrible（恐惧的）enough or frightening enough or wild enough, perhaps they will go on to read the front page anymore. They may read the headlines, but that is all, then they turn to the sports page, or comics, or advertisements. It seems that people do not want the news from a newspaper anymore. 4.
More people watch television news because it is easier and more interesting than reading a newspaper. What about you? Do you read news from a newspaper? 5. Or do you care about news at all? Would you mind if there were no news?
A. They say they get the news on the television now.
B. There are not very many people who seriously read a newspaper every day.
C. More and more people read newspapers every day.
D. They attempt（试图）to catch the reader's interest with pictures and exciting headlines（大字标题，新闻提要）
E. Do you think it is easier to get the news from television?
F. They like reading stories.
G. This is why editors always look for a good first page story and headline to make them stop and look.
"The word "sport" first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds. About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports. Such people play because they leant to. A few people are paid for sport they play. These people are called professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. For example, a professional football player in England earns more than 300,000 dollars a year. The stars earn a lot more. International golf and tennis champions can make more than 500,000 dollars a year. Of course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much as that.
Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is that the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports. An advertisement for sports equipment does not simply mean, "Buy our things". It says, "Buy the same shirt and shoes as…". Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their names or a photo of them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people's spare time.

First, welcome to West Lake! I am glad to serve all of you.
Today you come here, you are sure to be attracted by its beauty. Hangzhou is famous for West Lake which is a famous fresh water lake, It lies in central Hangzhou, in Zhejiang Province of eastern China.
Traditionally, there are ten best-known spots on the West Lake. They are called Ten Scenes of West Lake by Qianlong Emperor. The West Lake is divided by three causeways called Su Di, Bai Di, and Yanggong Di. First I want to tell you the history of Bai Di.
In the middle of the Tang Dynasty, Zhen yuan era（785-804）, poet Bai Juyi came to Hangzhou as a governor（官员，总督）. He realized that the farmland nearby depended on the water of West Lake, but the old dyke（堤防）had collapsed（倒塌）, the water of West Lake had dried out, and the local farmers suffered drought. He ordered the construction（修建）of a causeway of a stronger and taller dyke to solve the drought problem. The lives of local people improved over the following years. Then Bai Juyi had more free time to enjoy the beauty of West Lake. He visited West Lake almost every day. This causeway was later named after Bai Di in Bai Juyi's honor.
