British newspapers are among the oldest and most famous in the world. But recently big changes have seen these traditional publications try to fit the modern world. After 216 years,The nmes (《泰晤士報》) has changed its size to become much smaller. In fact,the paper has cut its size in half from a broadsheet to tabloid.
InBritainthe newspaper market is divided between the larger broadsheets and the smaller tabloids. These terms refer to the size of the papers' pages but there is also a clear difference in content. Broadsheets such as The Times,The Gwardian(《衛(wèi)報》) and Daily Telegraph 《每日電訊報》) are serious papers. They cover a broad range of political,economic and international is?sues. Their stories are also reasonably long and use quite formal language.
Tabloids have far more stories about less serious issues such as celebrities' love lives. Their stories are shorter and use more simple language. Tabloids often have bigger pictures. Britain's bestselling newspaper,The Sun,is a tabloid and has a naked (棵體的) girl on page three every?day.
By changing to the size of a tabloid,The Times is following in the footsteps of a less fa?mous broadsheet paper The Independent (《妝:報》) .It changed to tabloid last year and saw its sales increase greatly. Although both papers have switched to the smaller size,the content of the papers has remained the same. They are both still serious papers.
The two papers claim that people find the smaller size easier to handle when they travel to work on the bus or the train in the morning. Instead of calling the new style of their paper tab?loid,the paper says its new size is "compact"(緊湊型) .

B. Tabloid is a kind of smaller paper with short stories,pictures and celebrities' affairs.

( ) 7. In which of the following newspapers would you find more news about the personal life of the famous soccer star Beckham?

閱讀下面短文,然后按照要求寫一篇120詞左右的英語短文。
Thousands ofUKuniversity students are being required to sign good behavior regulations with their universities. They are warned that they could be kicked out of the college if they break these regulations. Oxford and Chester Universities have introduced such regulations this year. Chester University says that new students have responsibilities to " study hard,attend regularly and participate appropriately at lectures,courses,classes and other activities which form part of the program. " Both the UK government and universities insist such regulations are a matter for universities to decide. Some universities even make the regulations a condition for entry.
However,the National Union of Students (NUS) is against such move,saying the regulations are "onesided". The NUS says it will oppose any arrangements that students don't agree with. The vicepresident at the NUS doubted whether some students knew what they were getting into.
