L45-1: The power of the press

In democratic countries any efforts to restrict the freedom of the press are rightly condemned. However, this freedom can easily be abused. Stories about people often attract far more public attention than political events. Though we may enjoy reading about the lives of others, it is extremely doubtful whether we would equally enjoy reading about ourselves. Acting on the contention that facts are sacred, reporters can cause untold suffering to individuals by publishing details about their private lives. Newspapers exert such tremendous influence that they can not only bring about major changes to the lives of ordinary people but can even overthrow a government.The story of a poor family that acquired fame and fortune overnight, dramatically illustrates the power of the press. The family lived in Aberdeen, a small town of 23,000 inhabitants in South Dakota. As the parents had five children, life was a perpetual struggle against poverty. They were expecting their sixth child and were faced with even more pressing economic problems. If they had only had one more child, the fact would have passed unnoticed. They would have continued to struggle against economic odds and would have lived in obscurity.

练习感悟：

今天的文章很难，生词多长句也多。用了两个多小时才读下来。另外，发现了好几处以前被忽略了的英美音区别，比如，event、economic。另外，有点分不清changes，结尾音标应该是[ʤɪz]，还是[ʤz]。感觉原声读的是前者。把自己绕晕了，经过向Monica同学的请教，应该属于下图第二种情。在一般情况下，结尾是浊辅音的或者元音的词，加s应发z音。但是结尾是[ʤ]以及另外几个音结尾，是除外的，应按照课文原声，读iz。
