III. Read the following passage and then answer the questions below it (1.5 pts):
NEWSPAPER
A newspaper makes money from the price people pay for it and also from the advertisements it carries. A popular
newspaper with a circulation of over five million a day makes a lot of money. Serious newspapers are read
principally for their news, sent to them by their correspondents around the world and by the big news agencies.
People also read these newspapers for their reviews of new books, movies, plays, and for their editorials, which
present the opinion of the newspaper itself about the important events and issues of the moment. Less serious
newspapers are probably read just for entertainment. They have big headlines above the news stories, funny
cartoons to look at and sensational photos of violence.

=>There are two types of newspaper mentioned in the passage (0.25). They are serious and less serious
