Newspaper editor should not allow reporters to write the headlines for their own stories. The reason for this is that, while the headlines that reporters themselves write are often clever, what typically makes them clever is that they allude to little-known information that is familiar to the reporter but that never appears explicitly in the story itself.

Which of the following, if true, most strengthens the argument ?


The reporter who writes a story is usually better placed than the reporter’s editor is to judge what the story’s most newsworthy features are.

To write a headline that is clever, a person must have sufficient understanding of the story that the headline accompanies.

Most reporters rarely bother to find out how other reporters have written stories and headlines about the same events that they themselves have covered.

For virtually any story that a reporter writes, there are at least a few people who know more about the story’s subject matter than does the reporter.

The kind of headlines that newspaper editors want are those that anyone who has read a reporter’s story in its entirety will recognize as clever.

考题讲解

情景：编辑不应允许报告者给他们自己的故事写题目。这个原因是：报告者写的题目都很聪明，让这些题目聪明的原因是他们会暗示一些很少有人知道的信息，这些信息对报告者很熟悉但是并没有在故事里出现。

推理：本题一定要找清前提和结论。结论句出现在文章开头。
前提：报告者会暗示一些很少有人知道的信息，这些信息对报告者很熟悉但是并没有在故事里出现。
结论：编辑不应允许报告者给他们自己的故事写题目。
显然地，前提是原因，结论是结果。本题为因果推理。

选题方式：答案选项需断掉前提和结论间的因果关系。

选项分析：

A选项：写故事的报告者比编辑要更加好的判断清这篇故事的新闻价值点。如果报告者更能判断清新闻价值点，那么编辑就应该允许报告者自己写题目了。

B选项：为了写好一个标题，这个写标题的人必须要对故事有足够的理解。本选项和整个的因果推理过程无关。

C选项：大部分的报告者很少去看他人写的和自己一样事件的故事。本选项和是否让报告者自己写题目无关。

D选项：对于任意一个报告者写的故事，至少有那么一些人比报告者更知道这个故事的主题。本选项和给故事写题目无关。

E选项：Correct. 编辑想要的标题是那种任何读了完整故事的人将会认为聪明的标题。本选项完善地建立了因果之间的联系，即，因为报告者容易是标题党，且编辑们不喜欢标题党，所以才应该不让报告者自己写标题。
