Passage 8
Bad news sells. (If it bleeds), it leads. No news is good news, and good news is no news. Those are the classic rules (for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers).

Researchers (analyzing word-of-mouth communication) — e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations— found (that it tended) (to be more positive) (than negative)(消极的), but (that didn’t necessarily mean) (people preferred positive news). Was positive news shared more often (simply because people experienced more good things) (than bad things)? (To test) (for that possibility), Dr.Berger
looked (at how people spread a particular set of news stories): thousands of articles (on The New York Times’ website). He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list (for six months). One (of his first findings) was (that articles) (in the science section) were much more likely (to make the list) (than
non-science articles). He found (that science amazed Times’ readers and made them) (want) (to share this positive feeling) (with others).

读者也倾向于/去分享文章/它们是令人兴奋的和有趣的，或者/它们启发消极的感觉/如愤怒和焦 虑，但是不是文章/它们仅仅使得他们悲伤。他们需要被激发/以一种或其他的方式，然后他们更喜欢好消息/相对于坏的。一篇文章越积极，它就越容易被分享，正如 B 博士解释的/在他的新书，“蔓延：为什么有的东西流行？”。【人们喜欢找刺激，越积极的文章越容易分享】

Frank Hurley’s pictures would be outstanding----undoubtedly first-rate photo-journalism---(if they had been made) (last week). (In fact), they were shot (from 1914) (through 1916), most of them (after a disastrous shipwreck)(海滩), (by a cameraman) who had no reasonable expectation of survival. Many (of the images) were stored (in an ice chest), (under freezing water), (in the damaged wooden ship).

The ship was the Endurance, a small, tight, Norwegian-built three-master (that was intended) (to take Sir Ernest Shackleton and a small crew of seamen and scientists), 27 men (in all), (to the southernmost shore) (of Antarctica’s Weddell Sea). (From that point) Shackleton wanted (to force a passage) (by dog sled)(雪橇) (across the continent). The journey was intended (to achieve more) (than) (what Captain Robert Falcon Scott had done). Captain Scott had reached the South Pole early (in 1912) but had died (with his four companions) (on the march back).

(As writer Caroline Alexander makes clear) (in her forceful and well-researched story) The Endurance, adventuring was (even then) a thoroughly commercial effort. Scott’s last journey, (completed)(as he lay) (in a tent) (dying) (of cold and hunger), caught the world’s imagination, and a film (made) (in his honor) drew crowds. Shackleton, a onetime British merchant-navy officer (who had got) (to) (within 100 miles) (of the
South Pole) (in 1908), started a business (before his 1914 voyage) (to make money) (from movie and still photography). Frank Hurley, a confident and gifted Australian photographer (who knew the Antarctic), was hired (to make the images), most (of which) have never before been published.
