问题 The American newspaper has been around for about three hundred years．In 1721，the printerJames Franklin，Benjamin’S older brother，started the New England Courant，and that was what we might recognize today as a real newspaper．He filled his paper with stories of adventure，articles on art，on famous people。and on all sorts of political subj ects．Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s Courant，few believe that newspapers in their present printed form will remain alive for long．Newspaper compiles are losing advertisers(广告商)，readers，market value，and in some cases，their sense of purpose at a speed that would not have been imaginable just several years ago．The chief editor(主编)of the Times said recently，“At places where they gather，editors ask one another，‘How are you?’，as if they have just come out of the hospital or a lost law came．”An article about the newspaper appeared on the website of the Guardian，under the headline“NOT DEAD YET．”Perhaps not，but the rise of the Internet which has made the daily newspaper look slow and out of step with the world，has brought about a real sense of death．Some American newspapers have lost 42％ of their market value in the past three years．The New York Times Company has seen its stock (股票)drop by 54％since the end of 2004，with much of the loss coming in the past year．A manager at Deutsche Bank suggested that stock—holders sell off their Times stock．The Washington Post Companyhas prevented the trouble only by changing part of its business to education。its testing and test—prepa—ration service now brings in at least half the company’S income．
What can we infer about the newspaper editors?
选项 A、They often accept readers’suggestions．
B、They care a lot about each other’S health．
C、They stop doing business with advertisers．
D、They face great difficulties in their business．
答案D
解析 “At places where they gather，editors ask one another，‘How are you?’，as if they havejust come out of the hospital or a lost law came．”意思是“当editors见面时都会互相问‘你还好吗?’，好像每个人都刚从医院出来或输了一场官司似的”。从这句话可以判断出editors的情况很差，所以答案为D。
