Answer 1

分析 本篇文章主要寫了消息被人們知道，從最開始的步行和用騎馬傳送消息，到現(xiàn)在通過報紙和互聯(lián)網(wǎng)傳遞信息，報紙是人類生活中不可替代的重要部分，不同的國家的報紙的編輯的重點和內(nèi)容也不一樣．

解答 71．①How do newspaper editors decide which news stories they should （may，can，could，） print？或②How do newspaper editors decide which news stories should （may，can，could，） be printed？本句是一個復合句，由how引導的主句中缺少賓語，則用which引導的從句為賓語從句，充當賓語．
72．（the） stories．Yet，newspapers give more about the story．They may also look at the story in another way他們也可以通過另一種方式讀故事，然而，報紙能編輯更多的故事，在印刷方面，他們有很大的不同，故those指代stories．
73．People don't want to readstories of everyday life．
74．print 改為 printing  本句中應(yīng)用print的現(xiàn)在分詞printing，表示印刷．
75．但是，更多的人更喜歡（愿意）讀有關(guān)他們自己國家的人、地方和事件的故事．prefer to do sth表示更喜歡做某事，讀故事可用read story表達．
