1.The inverted pyramid should put the most important point at the top of the article,

followed by your next most important point, and so on, in diminishing order of importance. The lead includes the five “W”( what where why when and who).that made the readers read the article immediately.The writer then provides the rest of the information and supporting contextual details in descending order of importance, leaving the least essential material for the very end. This gives the completed story the form of an inverted pyramid, with the most important elements, or the 'base' of the story, on top.For example, if I write, 'Two children were injured when fire swept through the First Community Church, Detroit, Michigan, on May 10. The fire is believed to have started from unattended candles.' That's complete, but a lot of details can be added in succeeding paragraphs. If space is tight, an editor can cut from the bottom and still save the essential elements."

美英报刊阅读教程Lesson 1 课文

【Lesson 1 Good News about Racial Progress The remaining divisions in American society should not blind us to a half-century of dramatic change By Abigail and Stephan Thernstrom In the Perrywood community of Upper Marlboro, Md.1, near Washington, D.C., homes cost between $160,000 and $400,000. The lawns are green and the amenities appealing—including a basketball court. Low-income teen-agers from Washington started coming there. The teens were black, and they were not welcomed. The homeowners? association hired off-duty police as security, and they would ask the ballplayers whether they “belonged” in the area. The association? s newsletter noted the “eyesore” at the basketball court. But the story has a surprising twist: many of the homeowners were black t oo. “We started having problems with the young men, and unfortunately they are our people,” one resident told a re porter from the Washington Post. “But what can you do?” The homeowners didn?t care about the race of the basketball players. They were outsiders—in truders. As another resident remarked, “People who don?t live here might not care about things the way we do. Seeing all the new houses going up, someone might be tempted.” It?s a t elling story. Lots of Americans think that almost all blacks live in inner cities. Not true. Today many blacks own homes in suburban neighborhoods—not just around Washington, but outside Atlanta, Denver and other cities as well. That?s not the only common misconception Americans have ab out race. For some of the misinformation, the media are to blame. A reporter in The Wall Street Journal, for instance, writes that the economic gap between whites and blacks has widened. He offers no evidence. The picture drawn of racial relations is even bleaker. In one poll, for instance, 85 percent of blacks, but only 34 percent of whites, agreed with the verdict in the O.J. Simpson murder trial. That racially divided response made headline news. Blacks and whites, media accounts would have us believe, are still separate and hostile. Division is a constant theme, racism another. To be sure, racism has not disappeared, and race relations could —and probably will —improve. But the serious inequality that remains is less a function of racism than of the racial gap in levels of educational attainment, single parenthood and crime. The bad news has been exaggerated, and the good news neglected. Consider these three trends: A black middle class has arrived. Andrew Young recalls the day he was mistaken for a valet at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in New York City. It was an infuriating case of mistaken identity for a man who was then U.S. ambassador to the United Nations. But it wasn?t so long ago that most blacks were servants—or their equivalent.

英美报刊阅读教程中级精选本 第五版 端木义万lesson 5 Food and Obesity

Lesson5 Food and Obesity Being fat is be coming the norm for Americans.As it will soon be come in this country, I have seen the future, and it's extra large. By Joan Smith A friend who happens to be both American and a superb cook-his poulet de Bresse en deuil is one of the most memorable dishes I have tasted--called me a couple of days ago,enthusing about a lecture he had just at ended.The thesis,he said,was that the human body has changed irrevocably over the last quarter of a century and that the physical environment—chairs,beds, airline seats-will gradually adapt to accommodate the new shape.It is,of course,in the US, where my friend no longer lives,that this evolutionary experiment is most advanced;for years now, millions of people have been gorging themselves on vast helpings of fast food, with the consequence that about 60 percent of the population is overweight. According to Greg Critser, author of Fat Land：How Americans Became the Fattest People in the Word, none of this has happened by accident. Critser argues that the challenge to the US food industry in the 1970s was that the population was growing more slowly than the food supply, so people had to be persuaded to change their eating habits. Fast food, invented after the Second World War as an affordable way of getting families to eat together, became a means of selling surplus fat and sugar to the far-from-unwilling masses. This is a social revolution on a grand scale as scarcity, with which most human beings have had to struggle throughout history, has given way to an apparently permanent state of plenty. It may also help to explain why the magician David Blaine, suspended without food in a Perspex box beside Tower Bridge,has such a grip on people's imaginations.In an astonishingly short period of time, starvation has metamorphosed from a threat to a spectacle, and families are turning out en mass eat weekends to see how his hunger strike is going. For the fifth of the British population who are obese, and unused to doing without food for more than a few hours, the notion of someone giving it up for 44 days is unthinkable, some normal-size people have turned up to mock, throwing egg, cooking food and even trying to cut off the water supply to the hung American. Perhaps this is the point, that there are so few starving Americans in the world, which makes his self-imposed ordeal appear ludicrously self-indulgent. Yet it is possible to take Critser’s argument a stage further and suggest that millions of Americans are trapped between two industries, fast food and slimming, which enjoy a cosily symbiotic relationship. Research by a fast-food chain showed that what customers cared about was neither taster nor quality but portion size; what they have come to expect from food, and what their neighbours are beginning to want as well-obesity has increased by 158 per cent in Mexico in a decade, since fast food outlets began to replace the traditional diet-is a feeling of being stuffed to the gills. Cooking has become a spectator sport, something to watch famous people do on telly, as the populations of affluent countries rely increasingly on supermarket meals and takeaways. For many people, eating has become an addiction rather than a pleasure, and going on a diet merely replaces on morbid habit with another. In the circumstances, it is not really surprising that people are confused and

Lesson Nine. Iraq: Who won the war? Not the 90,000 Iraqi civilians or the 4,200 US and UK troops killed since 2003. The big winners are the money men who have made billions. Raymond Whitaker and Stephen Foley report 1.Five years ago today, Britain stood on the brink of war. On 16 March 2003, United Nations weapons inspec-tors were advised to leave Iraq within 48 hours, and the "shock and awe" bombing campaign began less than 100 hours later, on 20 March. The moment the neocons around President George Bush had worked so long for, aided by the moral fervour of Tony Blair, was about to arrive. 2."I believe demolishing Hussein's military power and liberating Iraq would be a cakewalk," Kenneth Adelman, a leading neocon, had said a few weeks before, and so it proved. Within barely a month, Saddam's bronze statue in Baghdad's Firdaus Square was scrap metal. But every other prediction by the Bush administration's hawks proved wrong. 3.No weapons of mass destruction –Britain's key justification for war –have been found. The Pentagon acknowledged last week that a review of more than 600,000 captured Iraqi documents showed "no evidence that Saddam Hussein's regime had any operational links with Osama bin Laden's al-Qa'ida terrorist network". 4.In 2008, there are still more American troops in Iraq than during the invasion, with no exit yet in sight. Britain's Ministry of Defence has just admitted that it has been unable to withdraw as many British troops as it planned – there are 4,000 still based just outside Basra, instead of the projected 2,500. So far 3,987 American soldiers and 197 British troops have died in Iraq. 5.So, five years on, who can be said to have won the war? Certainly not Iraqi civilians, at least 90,000 of whom have died violently since 2003, at the most conservative estimate. Other studies have multiplied that figure by five or six. Two million Iraqis have fled the country, and at least as many again are internally displaced. Baghdad households suffered power cuts of up to eight hours a day in Saddam's time; now they can expect less than eight hours of electricity a day on average. The US troop "surge" has cut the number of murders, but there are still 26 a day in the capital. The list goes on. 6.Nor have the eager promotors of the war, such as Mr Adelman, fared well. (By October 2006 he was admitting: "We're losing in Iraq.") The most arrogant of them all, Donald Rumsfeld, the ex-secretary of defence, was reluctantly dropped by Mr Bush in his second term. His former deputy, Paul Wolfowitz, who famously said that WMD had been used as the excuse for war because it was the only topic Washington's bureaucracy could agree on, was forced to resign as president of the World Bank after arranging a pay rise for his girlfriend. The Senate refused to confirm John Bolton

《美英报刊文章阅读》课程期末复习指导 一、课程说明：本课程采用的文字教材为《美英报刊文章阅读》，由9个单 元，30课书组成。考虑到该课程教学时数的限制和教材本身所含的信息量大,学生学习负担可能偏重等因素,特规定以下15课为必学内容。这15课内容在18周内完成,平均每周1课,余下的三周用作期末复习. 15课必学内容为:Lessons1,3,4,5,6,8,13, 15, 17,19，20，21,24,28,30。其余内容供学生自学. 二、课程性质：本课程属于中央电大的统设课,省管选修课. 三、阅读美英报刊必须打好下列两项基本功： 1、新闻词语： 新闻语言与我国学生在中学和大学低年级所学课文的规范语言不完全相同。学生们以前所学的内容大多是关于学习和人生哲理的一些小故事，对新闻语言很陌生，词义面也窄，一见到run, race, juice, measure, Speaker, gunship, establishment, take a walk, go fishing, high profile, dry, wet, He blinked和I’m a family man就容易本能地分别认为是“跑”、“竞赛”、 “汁”、“措施”、“发言人”、“炮舰”、“建立”、“散步”、“去钓鱼”、“高姿 态”、“干”、“湿”、“他眨眼睛了”和“我是一个有家室的人”；而在时事英文中，这些词语很可能分别为“竞选”、“竞选”、“神通”、“议案”、“议长”、“武装直升机”、“权势集团”、“退党”、“与党离心离德”、“引人注目或公开的”、英国保守党中的“强硬派”、“温和派”、“他顶不住而退让了”和“我是一个治家有方、治国（或治州、治市）有道的人”等词义。由此可见，初学者必须拓宽词义，逐渐掌握一定数量的新闻词语，尤其要注意一词多义，不能一见到culture, challenge, resources story等就想当然认为只是“文化”、“挑战”、“资源”和“故事”的词义。 2、国际知识： 学英语不能仅仅局限于学语言，还要注意积累各方面的知识，有了比较广泛的知识，才能收到更好的学习效果。美英报刊涉及的面极广，政治、

《美英报刊文章阅读》精选本第三版 周学艺 第一课: Home at last 译文 叶落归根 ----对一群美国哈佛大学工商管理学毕业生们来说，返回中国：就意味着有一次为祖国服务的机会，也就意味着有一次致富的机遇。 By brook larmer 这是一个通宵达旦的聚会，在醉意朦胧的氛围中，即将毕业的学子们互诉衷情。然而这却是一个严肃的场合：在1999年5月的一天，11位（哈佛工商大学）的同班同学，聚集在哈佛工商大学校园的一套公寓里，正在与中国之命运努力抗争。在他们的身边满眼是空空的啤酒瓶和炸薯片的包装袋，这11位同班同学与一帮来自中国大陆的朋友正在讨论他们自己的去留问题。其实，他们当中的每一位同学都收到了美国顶级公司的邀请函。但是，自从他们大多数人离开祖国以来，中国大陆在十年内也已经发生了巨大的变化。现在的中国比以往的任何时候提供了更多的个人自由和经济发展机遇，而且也急需一大批象他们一样的精英管理型人才。张微，一位活泼的29岁妇女，她的梦想就是要成为中国式的奥普拉·温弗莉，（奥普拉·温弗莉Oprah Winfrey：1954年1月29日生于美国密西西比州的科斯休斯克。19岁加入那斯威尔市的WVOL广播电台开始她的广播生涯。大学二年级转学大众传媒，并成为那斯威尔WTVF电视台第一个非洲裔美国人记者。1984年移居芝加哥主持WLS电视台的早间脱口秀节目—《芝加哥的早晨》。一个月之后，成为脱口秀节目排行榜首位。不到一年时间，节目延长到1小时，并更名为《奥普拉·温弗瑞秀》。奥普拉·温弗莉是一个什么样的人？她的物理特征：“黑人、女人、体重200磅、出身于密西西比、庸俗、粗鄙、市井和有生气的”；她的人生特征：未婚妈妈所生，9岁遭强奸，33岁成为脱口秀女皇，48岁成为亿万富翁。她的财智特征：美国最受欢迎电视人，哈泼娱乐集团公司董事长，全美50名女强人之一，20世纪最有影响力的100位名人之一，《福布斯》杂志排行榜上的亿万富翁。）而后者就是美国当代（家喻户晓）的访谈节目女主持人，她要求她的同学们返回祖国。“我们决不可为了明天而放弃现在。”她说道，“我们现在就应该着手做我们该做的事情”。 这二句话出自奥普拉·温弗莉之口，但他们印证了一个预言。大约过了几周的时间，在这所公寓里最年轻的26岁前任国际数学冠军，名叫邵亦波----草草写下一条经商建议，便卖掉家当前往上海，在那里他创建了一家中国式的国际互联网拍卖行，eBay. (易趣网,世界最大的网上交易平台,中国电子商务的旗舰网站)。在返回上海的途中，他在美国的硅谷呆了一天的时间，并且说服了一些投资人为他（的项目）投资了四十万美金。几周之后，同学谭海英在纽约一家投资银行走马上任之前，返回上海拜会了一些朋友之后，她再也没用返回美国:邵亦波劝说她（留下来）担任他公司的行政副总管。一年里，小团伙内的另外三名成员：黄逸明、任晨、herbert王也返回中国开办了几家创业公司。那么张微呢？她在（世界报业大王）罗伯特、默多克的新闻集团里谋得一份具有商业发展的美差。在北京，她仍然不分昼夜地工作以追求她的奥普拉式梦想。在北京电视台，她每周一次主持一档深受大家欢迎的访谈节目，访谈的内容主要是关于艾滋病、毒品泛滥，当然也有网上约会交友（等内容）。 当中国的学生出现在美国哈佛大学的时候，他们不仅仅是寻找出路，而且也是寻找他们日后最终回国的优势条件。经过几年为（国外）咨询公司、跨国公司和创业公司的工作经历，他们绝大多
