13、 15 （分数：60.00）填空项 1:_ （正确答案：ational）解析： national 听力原文 UK NewspapersLast time we talked about the newspaper in the USA, and this time we shall focus on that of the UK. Because of the small geographical area of the UK, and the good travel infrastructure, there are many national newspapersunlike the Un
14、ited States, where most newspapers are printed and published locally. Unlike France, the main national papers are morning newspapers; indeed, there are no national evening titles. UK newspapers are generally grouped into three, mass market newspaper in small size, or red-tops such as The Sun , middl
15、e-market newspaper in small size such as The Daily Mail , and quality broadsheets such as The Times . Unlike other European countries, there are no daily all-sport newspapers. I will talk about them from the following several aspects: First, it“s size that matters. In October 2003, quality broadshee
16、t The Independent began producing what it preferred to call a compact edition small-sizedalong with the main broadsheet sized newspaper. This had a stunning effect on circulationsales went up by 20% year-on-yearand The Times followed suit launching its own compact edition. Both newspapers are now ex
17、clusively available in compact form. The Guardian , which denounced the original shift to compact before planning and then junking its own compact format, switched in September 2005 to a mid-size format between newspaper in small size and broadsheet, known as the “Berliner“. This is roughly the same
18、 width as a newspaper in small size (thus easy to open using public transport), but taller, and therefore giving more flexibility in page design. Its sister paper The Observer also followed suit in January 2006. The Daily Telegraph is the only remaining weekday broadsheet. It apparently gained from
19、The Times when the latter switched to newspaper in small size, and sees the broadsheet size as being a differentiatorsome advertising has claimed that Telegraph readers have a “broader view“. The Sunday Telegraph and most sections of The Sunday Times are also in broadsheet size. The second aspect is
20、 the political leanings in some papers. The two most-popular newspapers are The Sun and The Daily Mirror. Bitter rivals, the papers traditionally hold very differing political views. The Sun being Conservative since the early 1970s, while The Mirror being Labor. The Sun veered towards Tony Blair“s L
21、abor Party six weeks before his victory in 1997, and has supported Labor in subsequent general elections in 2001 and 2005. However, recently the paper has been more critical of Gordon Brown, and more supportive of the leader of the opposition, David Cameron. Third, the middle-market newspaper in sma
22、ll sizes, The Daily Mail and The Daily Express are concerned with a very different readershipthat of affluent women. Weekend supplements and carefully-placed sponsorship ensure that these titles are a cheap alternative to a magazine, while sports supplements aimed at the husband aim to broaden their
23、 readership. The Daily Mail has a reliable right-wing agenda, and is mocked by some for their over alarmist headlines, particularly about political asylum seekers, house prices and “things that give you cancer“ in 2009, The Daily Mail claimed in the same month that coffee would “give you cancer“, as
24、 well as “cure you from cancer“ in different stories. However, its formula, said by former owner Lord Northcliffe to give his readers a “daily hate“, has made The Daily Mail one of the most popular newspapers in the UK. Fourth, the quality papersthe “broadsheets“, though not that size anymore, are p
25、robably the most famous to readers overseas. The Times, the UK“s oldest national newspaper, is not the most popularthat accolade falls to The Daily Telegraph , known affectionately as The Daily Torygraph because of the staunch support to the Conservative Party. The Independent, The Guardian and the
26、financial newspaper The Financial Times make up the rest of the so-called quality papers. It“s important to notice, though, that the mass-market newspaper in small size sell up to four times as many copies as the broadsheetsand if you“re looking in vain for The London Times , such a newspaper title
27、has never, in fact, existed The Times has always been a national newspaper. The Guardian, once based in Manchester, was known as The Manchester Guardian until the sixties. Fifth, a relatively recent phenomenon in the newspaper industry has been the free morning papers. Free weekly papers are fairly
28、common, supported by advertising and carrying little in the way of editorial. But now, with the launch of Associate“s “Metro“ and similar titles in many metropolitan areas, these newspapers thrive on public transport and in busy cities. Sixth, consolidation seems one of the ways forward. The Times a
29、nd The Sun“s parent company also owns Sky television, the UK“s satellite television service. The Guardian group now owns the Smooth FM and Real Radio stations, as well as probably the biggest Internet presence for a newspaper. On a local scale, the Kent Messenger group also owns the local KM fm radi
30、o stations in many areas of Kent, and aggressively cross-promotes them. New sizes and formats were held to arrest the decline of newspaper buying. In June 2004, newspaper sales were declining year-by-year by 4.7% the only increases worldwide, in fact, coming in developing countries. However, reducti
31、ons in size for some of the newspapers meant a temporary increase in circulation. And, while newspaper sales have been slowly declining, consumption of news can be claimed to have vastly increased: whether from the Internet, or one of the many non-stop news channels available to UK viewers. Newspape
32、r companies own their content. The best way of consumption of this content at present is on small sheets of dead, pulped, reformed, wood. It requires no recharging; losing a newspaper is not a major problem; and delivery and availability is easy. However, all national papers now have their own websi
33、tes; some are shifting classified advertising away from the printed paper. Content is a useful commodityand the way this is presented in the future may well change. The cleverest newspapers will adapt to use their content in different ways. Thank you for attending the lecture. If you have interests

39、文 M: If you would like to know how to deal with the aggravating people who make you dread of going into the office, Katherine Crowley, the writer of a book called Working with You Is Killing Me: Freeing Yourself from Emotional Traps at Work will tell you the answer. She joins us now. Good to have yo
40、u with us. W: Good morning. M: What surprised me when I read this book is you say “Quit complaining, do something“. You say the best thing to do is to change yourself because you are not going to change the other person. W: That“s right. What I found in working with many thousands of people over the
41、 last 20 years is that it“s futile to try and change another person. So, the best thing you can do is begin by changing your internal reaction and then we give you very concrete tools for how to change your experience. M: What“s this business about unhooking yourself? W: Well, we give you this proce
42、ss. It“s actually four steps and the first two steps are to cool down your system. Because as we all know, when those co-workers really annoy you, you immediately get upset. So the first two steps are deep breathing or doing some sort of physical exercise if you can run out of the building and walk
43、around the block. M: Yeah. You say you spend a lot of time talking people off the ledge, which is essentially calming them down. But once you“ve done that and that seems very intuitive, then what do we do? W: Well, the next two steps would be taking action. To unhook verbally as what we say, you sho
44、uld find something to move the situation forward and take the high road not accusatory but a win-win kind of communication, and then you look for a business tool whether it“s documentation of some kind or sending out an e-mail or referring to a job description. M: Okay, but doesn“t it seem a little
45、defeatist to say you have to change yourself? Is it really “me“ that has to change as supposed to the other person? W: Well, have you ever changed anybody? No, you can“t. You can“t change somebody. But if you can change your reaction to them, you“ll have a much better love-work life. M: Yeah, but th
46、ey are still going to be annoying, aren“t they? W: That“s right. They are not going to change, so in part of the book we explain to you how to detach and stop taking it personally. M: Alright. You spend a lot of time telling me about types of co-workers. So what is the most common annoying type of c
47、o-workers? W: The most common annoying type of co-workers are called “boundary-busters“. So, whether it“s someone who invades your space, makes too much noise, eats up your time, chews your ear off. Those are boundary-busters.
