Visitors to Britain are sometimes surprised to learn that newspapers there have such a large circulation．The "quality" newspapers are often held up as an example of impartial journalism，but the Daily Mirror and the Daily Express usually impress newspapermen even more because they both sell about four million copies every day．British families generally buy a newspaper every morning and frequently take two or three on Sundays，but the vast circulation figures obtained are not only due to the Englishman's thirst for news．Because the newspapers are all published nationally，copies can be delivered everywhere at the same time． Though people abroad often know the names of the national papers，they seldom realize that there is another branch of the British press which sells almost as many copies．Local newspapers have a weekly circulation of 13 million．Almost every town and country area has one．Nearly all of them hold their own finance and many of them are very profitable． These papers are written almost entirely for readers interested in local events - births，weddings，deaths，council meetings and sports - but the content is naturally influenced by the kind of community they serve．Editors prefer to rely on a small staff of people who all know the district well．A great deal of local news is regularly supplied by clubs and churches in the neighbourhood and it does not get out of date as quickly as national news．If there is no room for it in this week's edition，an item can sometimes be held until the following week． The editor must never forget that the success of any newspaper depends on advertising．He is usually anxious to keep the good will of local businessmen for this reason．But if the newspaper is well written and the news items are carefully chosen to attract local readers，the businessmen are grateful for the opportunity to keep their products in the public eye． Local newspapers do not often comment on problems of national importance and editors rarely hold with taking sides on political questions．But they can often be of service to the community in expressing public feeling on local issues．A newspaper can sometimes persuade the council to take action to provide better shopping facilities，improve transport in the area and preserve local monuments and places of interest．（1）The Daily Mirror impresses newspapermen more because ____ ．A．it has a larger circulation than many other famous papersB．it is of better quality than many other papersC．it is sold nationallyD．it is delivered everywhere in Britain（2）Local papers are preferred by readers who ____ ．A．are interested in newsB．are much interested in local eventsC．want to get news as quickly as possibleD．work in churches and clubs（3）According to the passage，businessmen would like to advertise in papers if ____ ．A．the papers are well writtenB．the news items are carefully chosenC．the news involves themD．the papers are popular and can attract readers（4）The last paragraph implies（暗示）that ____ ．A．local papers seldom comment on politicsB．local papers can sometimes influence policy makingC．local papers are more concerned about their own communitiesD．local papers do not take sides on problems of national importance

Most people believe the best way to build a great team is to gather a group of the most talented individuals. ___ Companies spend millions hiring top business people. Is their money well spent? ___ They focused on football, basketball and baseball. The results are mixed For football and basketball, adding talented players to a team proves a good method, but only up to the point where 70% of the players are top talent; above that level, the team's performance begins to decline. Interestingly, this trend isn't evident in baseball. where additional individual talent keeps improving the team's performance. To explain this phenomenon, the researchers explored the degree to which a good performance by a team requires its members to coordinate (协调) their actions. ___ In baseball, the performance of individual players is less dependent on teammates. They conclude that when task interdependence is high, team performance will suffer when there is too much talent, while individual talent will have positive effects on team performance when task interdependence is lower. If a basketball star is. for example, trying to gain a high personal point total, he may take a shot himself when it would be better to pass the ball to a teammate, affecting the team's performance. Young children learning to play team sports are often told, "There is no I in TEAM." ___ Another possibility is that when there is a lot of talent on a team, some players may make less effort. Just as in a game of tug-of-war (拔河比赛), whenever a person is added, everyone else pulls the rope with less force. ___. An A-team may require a balance-not just A players, but a few generous B players as well.A. It's not a simple matter to determine the nature of talent. B. Sports team owners spend millions of dollars attracting top talent C. The group interaction and its effect drew the researchers' attention. D. Stars apparently do not follow this basic principle of sportsmanship. E. Several recent studies examined the role of talent in the sports world. F. Building up a dream team is more complex than simply hiring the best talent. G. This task interdependence distinguishes baseball from football and basketball.
