题目解释
报纸对人们的思想观念有巨大的影响。情况为什么是这样？这是一种理想的状况还是不理想的状况？

第四、五段：

On the other hand, people should be fully aware of the downside of the journalistic dominance. By furnishing citizens with prejudiced and self-opinionated reports on sensitive issues,newspapers can manipulate their perspectives and attitudes and exercise a sort of monopoly on their way of thinking.

In conclusion, while absorbing bits of information in the newspapers, readers are advised to adopt an objective approach and cast a discriminating eye on their way of presentation,comments and implicit assumptions.

范文翻译

另一方面，人们应该充分认识到新闻控制性这种不利的方面。在敏感问题上，通过给人们提供充满偏见和固执己见的报告，报纸能够操纵他们的观点和态度，并在他们的思维方式方面施加一种垄断。

总之，在阅读报纸信息时，建议读者采取一种客观的态度，并且用批判的眼光去看待他们报道的方式、评论和暗示的假设。
