News stories give facts, not the author’s opinions. Editorials(社论) do the opposite; you can expect an editorial to take sides. Some newspaper editorials have a by-line with the author’s name, but many newspapers have unsigned(未署名的)editorials. These reflect the opinions of the publisher or editor.
You can be a better reader if you know what to expect in a newspaper. For example, you can expect headlines to omit unnecessary words. You can expect to find the most important facts in the first paragraph of a news story. You can expect important news items to be on the front page. You can expect less important items to be on the inside pages.
Most of all, the more you know about the current news, the more you will understand what is the newspaper; important stories are generally presented one day and followed up on following days. So, an important way of reading newspapers is reading one frequently
When reading a large newspaper, one should _________()
A.read it from cover to cover
B.do some paper-cutting
C.find separate sections
D.predict what is inside the paper

[46]Shoppers in the UK are spending less money on toilet paper to save money,research has shown.
Penny-pinchingUK consumers choose cheaper products from discounters such as Aldi and Lidlrather than luxury alternatives.
This has wiped6% off the value of the soft tissue paper market in the UK. It has shrunk from£1.19 billion in2011 to£1.12billion in 2015, according to a new report from market research company Mintel. [47] Furthermore, the future of the market looks far fromrosy, with sales expected to fall further to £1.11 billion in 2016.
In the lastyear alone, despite an increase in the UK population and a subsequent rise inthe number of households, sales of toilet paper fell by 2%, with the averagehousehold reducing their toilet roll spending from £43 in 2014 to £41 in 2015.
Overall, almostthree in five people say they try to limit their usage of paper — includingfacial tissue and kitchen roll — to save money. “Strength, softness andthickness remain the leading indicators of toilet paper quality, with just asmall proportion of consumers preferring more luxurious alternatives, such asthose with flower patterns or perfume,” said Mintel analyst Jack Duckett. [48]“These extra features are deemed unnecessary by themajority of shoppers, which probably reflects how these types of products aretypically more expensive than regular toilet paper, even when on special offer.”
[49]Whileconsumers are spending less on toilet paper, they remain fussy—in theory atleast —when it comes to paper quality. Top ofBritons’ toilet paper wish list is softness (57%) followed by strength (45%)and thickness (36%).
[50]Onein 10 buyers rank toilet rolls made from recycled paper among their topconsiderations, highlighting how overall the environment is much less of aconsideration for shoppers than product quality. In a challengefor manufacturers, 81% of paper product users said they would consider buyingrecycled toilet tissue if it were comparable in quality to standard paper.

Over the last 30 years, social scientists 'have conducted more than 1,000 studies of how we react to beautiful and not-so-beautiful people. The virtually unanimous conclusion: Looks do matter, more than most of us realize: The data suggest, for example, that physically attractive individuals are more likely to be treated well by their parents, sought out as friends, and pursued romantically. With the possible exception of women seeking managerial jobs, they are also more likely to be hired, paid well, and promoted.
Un-American, you say, unfair and extremely unbelievable? Once again, the scientists have caught us mouthing pieties (虔诚)while acting just the contrary. Their typical experiment works something like this. They give each member of a group-college students, perhaps, or teachers or corporate personnel managers a piece of paper relating an individual's accomplishments. Attached to the paper is a photograph. While the papers all say exactly the same thing the pictures are different. Some show a strikingly attractive person, some an average-looking character, and some an unusually unattractive human being. Group members are asked to rate the individual on certain attributes, anything from personal warmth to the likelihood that he or she will be promoted.
Almost invariably, the better looking the person in the picture, the higher the person is rated. In the phrase, borrowed from Sappho, that the social scientists use to sum up the common perception, what is beautiful is good.
In business, however, good looks cut both ways for women, and deeper than for men. A Utah State University professor, who is an authority on the subject, explains: In terms of their careers, the impact of physical attractiveness on males is only modest. But its potential impact on females can be tremendous, making its easier, for example, for the more attractive to get jobs where they are in the public .eye. On another note, though, there is enough literature now for us to conclude that attractive women who aspire to managerial positions do not get on as well as women who may be less attractive.
According to the passage, people often wrongly believe that in pursuing a career as manager ______.
A.a person's property or debts do not matter much
B.a person's outward appearance is not a critical qualification
C.women should always dress fashionably
D.women should not only be attractive but also high-minded
