新闻媒介的基本类型和特点各是什么？
六种主要的大众传媒：口语、书籍、报纸、广播、电视、互联网。
1.报纸。便于保存和检索；新闻性较强；读者可以反复阅读，认真思考。但是，它受读者文化程度的限制，发行需要一定的时间。
2.新闻杂志，是以传播和解释国内外重大新闻为主要内容的一种杂志，由于出版周期不同，分为周刊、半月刊和月刊等。周刊因为比较符合人们的工作节奏和生活习性，时效性较半月刊和月刊强，所以在世界新闻杂志中占据绝大多数，我国也一样。相对于报纸等其他新闻媒介而言，新闻杂志表现新闻的方式更多的是提供新闻的背景资料（有时提供背景材料比新闻事件本身更重要），并且以此说明新闻的发生对现在以及将来的影响。也就是说，它不是像其他新闻媒介那样着重报道动态新闻，而是对新闻事件进行有纵深、有广度、有背景、有分析、有评论的深层报道。从事新闻杂志工作的业内人士也常说：新闻杂志与报纸相比的一个优势是"后发制人"，这种后发制人意味着它的大量的报道必须具有深刻性或者深入性，如同当各种媒介以它们各自的特点关注着露出海面的冰山一角时，新闻杂志则把目光更多地投入到了海面以下那巨大的山体。
3.广播。比报纸具有感染力；不受文化程度限制；传播迅速。但是，其保留性差；无法对文字进行深度开掘。
4.电视。有感染力和说服力；不受文化程度限制；传播迅速。但是，其保留性差。
5.网络“第四大众传媒”
公认的大众传媒主要包括报纸、广播、杂志、书籍和电影等六大媒介。随着数字化技术的发展，电脑硬件的更新换代，互联网技术迅速普及和网站的大量建立，互联网正成为一种新的媒体广泛进入人们的生活。如今，国际上已把互联网纳入六大媒介中，并将其称为继报纸、广播、电视之后的“第四大众传媒”。这说明，人们已经认同了互联网的作用，能够同报纸、广播、电视等新闻媒介一样，广泛地传递新闻信息。
　　依托于互联网进行的新闻传播活动，具备了其许多的优势，这主要表现在：
（1）．包容了传统传播媒介的所有信息形式，整合了文字、声音、图象等多种传播的方式，实现了真正意义上的“多媒体”。
（2）．传播质量得以提升，受干扰程度降低，接收效果的物质实体有了保证。
（3）．能够以不同的方式和手段，灵活的报道同一事件，不致使人产生疲劳感和厌烦。
此外，就网络新闻本身而言，除了具备了网络所共有的优势之外，它还具有时效性强、容量大、速度快、超地域、超链接、可检索等特点，这些都猛烈的冲击着传统的新闻出版方式乃至整个新闻出版产业。

Step 2: Listening(SB page 10)
Listening Text:
SB:
You will listen to four people talking about something that happened. Part 1 is an interview and Part 2 is a dialogue. Listen carefully to what it is said, and tick the information you hear in each part.
Part 1
Hunter: Good morning, Mr. Carol. My name is Harry Hunter, and I work for the Daily Times. I would like to ask you a few questions about Jim Gray.
Carol: Good morning, Mr. Hunter. What would you like to know about Mr. Gray?
Hunter: Well, I want to know if it’s true that Mr. Gray no longer works for your company.
Carol: Yes, that’s true. Mr. Gray was fired today. He has been having problems lately, and it’s time for him to leave.
Hunter: I see. What kind of problems?
Carol: Mr. Gray was too slow, and it took him too long to do his job. He talked too much. He was noisy and sometimes even wild. He was not serious enough. Instead of thinking about work, he spent too much time disturbing the other workers with questions and comments.
Hunter: So the other workers didn’t like Mr. Gray?
Carol: Mr. Gray was very nosy. Always trying to find out what the other people was doing. Many people were also unhappy with Mr. Gray because he was rude and said bad things about people.
Hunter: I see. Were there any other reasons why you fired him?
Carol: Yes, Mr. Gray was also careless with his money. Now if you excuse me, I have to get back to work.
Hunter: Thank you for answering my questions.
Part 2
Man: Hi, Wendy. Did you hear that Jim was fired today?
Woman: Yes, I did. Isn’t it awful? I have worked with him for ten years and he was one of my best friends. I can’t believe that he was fired.
Man: I don’t understand it, either. Jim faced many difficulties, but he wouldn’t give up. He was careful and always took the time to do a job well.
Woman: Even when he was very busy, Jim always found time to speak to others. He was funny and happy, and like to make others to laugh. He always had a kind word for me.
Man: Yes, he was always interested in other people and care about their life and troubles. When my wife was ill, he always asked me about her and tried to cheer me up.
Woman: Jim was always so generous. He was happy to spend money on good meals and gifts.
Man: Yes, he was. And he was also very honest, and always
