Read the text and answer the following questions 5, 6.
‘Newspaper is the people’s parliament.’ The newspaper plays vital role in modern civilization. It is said to be the mirror of the world. We must have the habit of reading newspaper daily. It helps us in acquiring general knowledge, which is essential for our education. Nobody can keep contact with the outside world without reading the newspaper. Mere bookish knowledge is not sufficient in the struggle of life. A man who does not read newspaper daily is like a frog in a narrow well. Being ignorant of current topics he cannot take part in the talks and discussions in an enlightened society and seems like a fish out of water in. The newspaper is a dainty in a dish of varieties such as the news of current affairs, trade and commerce, films, games and sports etc. Moreover, the views of scholars of different subjects are discussed. All these have some educative values and we must have the habit of reading the newspaper regularly as it is a blessing of modern civilization.
But we should bear in mind that newspaper bears comments of different nature and interests by the reporters and critics from the various angles. We should not be blindly influenced by these comments but should keep an open mind to the facts and problems.
