Reading news reports critically
We rely on news to learn about what is happening in the world around us. However, we usually find that reports on the same events contain different or even contradictory information. How do these differences come about
依靠，依赖；相信
同义短语：count on/ depend on
what 引导宾语从句
产生，发生
come across
come out
differ different difference
differ from 不同于=be different from
differ in 在某方面不同
be different from … in….在某方面与…不同
make great differences to 对…有重要意义，对…产生重大影响
It is advisable to remember that journalists may have different priorities, which would influence how they report an event.
Let's take the two news reports on the Henderson Tower fire as an example. We can see that the first news report pays more attention to the rescue efforts, while the second talks more about deaths and injuries. When we read more than one report, we come to understand an event in a more comprehensive way.
It 作形式主语，真正的主语是to remember that
that 引导宾语从句
which 引导非限制性定语从句从句，先行词是priorities
以。。。为例
救援力量
While –然而：表对比，引导比较状语从句
While –当。。时候，引导时间状语从句
While –尽管：引导让步状语从句
Even if news reports are written from basically the same perspective, they may contradict each other in terms of factual details, as events in the real world are usually complicated and constantly changing. For instance, the numbers of deaths differ in the two news reports on the Henderson Tower fire.
even if /even though 即使：引导让步状语从句
for example 例如，比如
就。。而言，从某方面来说
as 因为：引导原因状语从句
比较Line 17,as –随着：时间状语从句
as : 尽管-引导让步状语从句
自相矛盾
When we come across such factual differences, we should not rush to the conclusion that one of the news reports gives false information. Instead, check when the reports were written. News reports written at different stages of an event could contain different information as new facts are brought to light.
随着
急于得出结论
that 引导什么从句？
Written 过去分词作后置定语，write 与reports 之间构成被动关系
遇到，偶遇
揭露，揭示
Another aspect worthy of mention is that journalists may approach information they get from research or interviews differently. Suppose emergency services' estimates of the number of deaths vary between 5 and 9.
Journalists may choose to present the minimum, the maximum or something in between in their news reports. Therefore, checking different sources enables us to draw a more informed conclusion.
值得一提
that 引导表语从句
v. 处理；靠近，接近
n. 方法
划线句子是定语从句，省略了that 或which
checking 动名词短语作主语
得出结论
To sum up, it is wise to read news reports written from various perspectives and at different stages, which brings us a more accurate understanding of a situation. We also need to be critical about the information we receive and remember not to blindly trust what we have read.
过去分词短语作后置定语
总之
which 引导非先限制性定语从句
盲目相信
what 引导宾语从句
Though journalists are committed to presenting the truth, it is better to use our own judgement than rely entirely on news reports. With great discrimination, every one of us has the potential to be a critical newsreader
potential n.潜力，潜能
adj.潜在的
with 介词-表示有
致力于做某事
