How much do you know the development of the newspaper? Before the first century, there was no
newspaper at all in the world. The news was spread only by mouth. And later, people began to write
newspapers. But the first newspapers were written by hand and put up on the walls in public places. The
first daily newspaper was started in Rome in 59 BC. Europe didn"t have regularly published newspapers
until 1609, when one was started in Germany.
The first regularly published newspaper in English language was printed in Amsterdam in 1620. In the
next year, an English newspaper was started in London and was published once a week. The first daily
English newspaper was the Daily Courant. It came out in March 1702.
In 1609, Benjamin Harris printed the first American newspaper in Boston. But not long after it was
first published, the government stopped the paper. Five years later, John Com bell started the Boston
newsletter, and the first newspaper was published daily in the American colonies(殖民地).
By 1765, the colonies had more than thirty daily newspapers. There are now about 1800 daily papers
in the United States.
Today, newspapers are published everywhere. To many people, they can"t go without reading
newspapers for a day. As a group, however, English language newspapers have the largest circulation
(销售量) in the world. But the largest circulation of a newspaper is that of the Japanese newspaper
Asihimbun. It sells more than eleven million copies every day. Newspapers are playing an important part
in people"s life.

northern Germany in the 5th and 6th centuries, after the Romans had left.The French name for England
is Angleterre, which also means "Angle land". There were also invasions (侵略) of southern England by
Saxons and Jutes (people from another part of northern Germany). English people are sometimes called
AngloSaxons. The Celts who used to live in this area were forced to move back into Scotland, Ireland,
Cornwall and into Western France (the area known as Brittany).
England at first became a series of kingdoms, the strongest of which was Wessex (the name comes
from WestSaxon). The names of many of the areas in England come from this period-for example, the
name Sussex comes from SouthSaxon, Essex from EastSaxon, and East Anglia from EastAngle.The
Vikings then came from Denmark, and later the Normans invaded from France.Eventually England,
Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland were united, forming the United Kingdom.
The English language is the main language spoken throughout England, although there are many
different accents.It can be difficult to know how to spell or to pronounce some English words, because
the language has been influenced by Latin and Greek (languages used at the time of the Romans, and
used in religion and education until recent times), German (the language of the Angles, Saxons and Jutes), French(the language of the Normans), Gaelic/Scots (Celtic languages) and Danish (the language of the
Vikings).
There are now many people throughout the United Kingdom who speak a foreign language either as
their first or second language; mainly due to immigration (移民) from Europe or the Commonwealth
(countries which used to be part of the British Empire).

the two.The two terminologies (术语)have been widely discussed,and it is very difficult to draw
a line between the two.In the words of great writer,Issac Asimov,science fiction is based on
technology and science and is possible.Science fiction can be about robots and space and has
its bases in science.On the contrary,fantasy is only imaginary,and involves things that do not
exist in real life.Fantasy can be about talking animals or something immortal.Science fiction
shows things that could possibly take place in the real world.Fantasy adds realism to things
that are unlikely to happen.
When compared to fantasy stories,the imaginary elements in science fiction can largely be
possible.Though the topic in science fiction can be contrary to reality,these stories are based
on some fact that is absent in fantasy.Unlike science fiction,fantasy uses supernatural forms
and magic in its topic.
Science fiction can be divided into different kinds,such as hard science fiction,soft science
fiction,social science fiction,time travel,military science fiction,super human fiction and space
fiction.Fantasy can be divided into horror fiction,mystery fiction,super hero fiction and
community.
However,as fantasy fiction becomes more focused on modern environments,rather than
ancient worlds,technology plays an increasingly important role in the stories,thus leading to the
birth of Science Fantasy,just in time to meet the audience mourning a slowdown of Science
Fiction.
Science fantasy has several characteristics.Magic is still extremely obvious.The level of
characterization differs greatly depending on the story.
