Several factors make a good newspaper story. First，1，it must be new. But since TV can react to events so quickly, this is often a problem for2. They usually respond3it in one of three ways.
One by providing4detail, comment or background information.
One by finding a new5on the day’s major stories.
One by printing completely different stories which6doesn’t broadcast.
What else? Well—it also has to be7. People don’t want to read about8, everyday life. Because of this, many stories9some kind of conflict or danger. This is one reason why so much news seems to be10news , “ Plane lands safely—no-one hurt ”doesn’t sell newspapers. “Plane11—200 feared dead !” does .
Next, there’s human interest. People are interested in other12—particularly in the rich, famous and powerful. Stories about the private lives of pop singers, actors, models, politicians,13, all appear regularly in certain newspapers .
Finally, for many editors,14is an important factor, too. They prefer stories about people, places and events which their readers know. That’s15the stories in Tokyo’s newspapers are often very different from the stories printed in Paris, Cairo, New York or Buenos Aires.

Lightning flashed through the darkness over Sibson’s bedroom skylight(天窗).Sibson was shaken by a clap of thunder1 he knew what was happening. The storm had moved directly2 his two-story wooden house. Then he heard the smoke alarm beeping.
Sibson rushed down the stairs barefoot to3; he opened the door to the basement(地下室), and flames4out. Sibson ran back upstairs to call 911 from his bedroom. “I felt 5because the room had a separate outdoor stairway,” he explains.
But the phone didn’t work, and when he tried to go down the outdoor stairway, he was6by a wall of flames. Sibson realized he was trapped(困住).

After one more15inside the house, Huggons gave up and16around back.
The wind parted the smoke just17for him to catch sight of Sibson. But there was no way to get to him. He18the flashlight into the woods and noticed a ladder. He took it over to the balcony and19Sibson down just as the second floor of the house fell off.
Sibson is still20when he tells the story. “ I was alone that night,” he says. “Then I heard the most beautiful sound in my life. It was Huggons.”
