　　A　good　modern　newspaper　is　an　extraordinary　piece　of　reading.　It　is　remarkable　first　for　what　it　contains:　the　range　of　news　from　local　crime　to　international　politics,　from　sport　to　business　to

　　As　regards　the　development　of　moral　standards　in　the　growing　child,　consistency　is　very　important　in　parental　teaching.　To　forbid　a　thing　one　day　and　excuse　it　the　next　is　no　foundation　for　morality(道德).　Also,　parents　should　realize　that"example　is　better　than　precept".　If　they　are　not　sincere　and　do　not　practise　what　they　preach　(說教),　their　children　may　grow　confused,　and　emotionally　insecure　when　they　grow　old　enough　to　think　for　themselves,　and　realize　they　have　been　to　some　extent　fooled.　?ァ?

　　A　sudden　awareness　of　a　marked　difterence　between　their　parents'　principles　and fashion　to　science,　and　the　range　of　comment　and　special　features　(特定)　as　well,　from　editorial　page　to　feature　articles　and　interviews　to　criticism　of　books,　art,　theatre　and　music.　A　newspaper　is　even　more　remarkable　for　the　way　one　reads　it:　never　completely,　never　straight　through,　but　always　by　jumping　from　here　to　there,　in　and　ont　glancing　at　one　piece,　reading　another　article　all　the　way　through,　reading　just　a　few　paragraphs　of　the　next.　A　good　modern　newspaper　offers　a　variety　to　attract　many　different　readers,　but　far　more　than　any　one　reader　is　interesied　in.　What　brings　this　variety　together　in　one　place　is　its　topicality　(時事性),　its　immediate　relation　to　what　is　happening　in　your　world　and　your　locality　now.　But　immediacy　and　the　speed　of　production　that　goes　with　it　mean　also　that　much　of　what　appears　in　a　newspaper　has　no　more　than　transient(短暫的)　value.　For　all　these　reasons,　no　two　people　really　read　the　same　paper:　what　each　person　does　is　to　put　together　out　of　the　pages　of　that　day's　paper,　his　own　selection　and　sequence,　his　own　news　paper.　For　all　these　reasons,　reading　newspapers　efficiently,　which　means　getting　what　you　want　from　them　without　missing　things　you　need　but　without　wasting　time,　demands　skill　and　selfawareness　as　you　modify　and　apply　the　techniques　of　reading
