问题      In the modem world, it is important to be well-informed. Success in many fields depends on getting the latest information. To keep up with what is happening in the world, well-informed people read newspapers and news magazines. They listen to the news on the radio and they watch it on television. Owners of home computers can even receive their news directly from the wire services -- news agencies that supply newspapers, magazines, radio and television with news reports -- through special telephone links.
     Most people read newspapers for the news of the day. The typical dally newspaper contains articles about local, regional, national, and international news, as well as sports, weather reports, editorials, and other features.

Most American newspapers also publish an enlarged Sunday edition containing articles a bout the news of the day and of the week, plus a number of entertainment and advertising supplements. Daily newspapers are designed to be read quickly by busy people looking for specific information. The Sunday papers, on the other hand, are intended to entertain as well as inform, and they tend to be read leisurely by all members of the family. Other types of newspapers include campus newspapers, written by students at universities, and weekly newspapers, usually intended for a specific audience.
     News magazines such as Time, Newsweek, and U. S. News and World Report are published weekly. They contain articles about the important national and international news of the week, and special sections are devoted to news about such areas as business, science, education, and the arts.

S. broadcast news every hour, and a few all-news stations broadcast news and news commentary, programs all day, Most commercial television stations have news programs in the evening ( beginning at 5:00 or 6:00 p. m. ) and at night ( beginning at 10:00 of 11:00 p. m. ).
