Beldon and Canfield are two seaside towns,not far from each other.Both towns have many hotels(旅馆),and in the summer the hotels are full of holidaymakers and other people.
Last August there was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel in Beldon.The next day,this news was on page two of the town's newspaper—THE BELDON POST:
Fire at Seabreeze
Late last night firemen(消防队员)hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly put out a small fire in a bedroom.The hotel manager said that a cigarette(香烟)started the fire.We say again to all our visitors,“Please don't smoke cigarettes in bed.”This was Beldon's first hotel fire for five years.
THE CANFIELD TIMES gave the news in these words on page one:
Another Beldon Hotel Catches Fire
Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing,bedclothes and other things at the Seabreeze Hotel.An angry holiday maker said,“An electric lamp(电灯)probably started the fire.The bedroom lamps are very old at some of these hotels.When I put my bedside light on,I heard a funny noise from the lamp.”We are glad to tell our readers that this kind of accident(事故)does not happen in Canfield.
What are the facts(事实),then?It is never easy to find out the exact(确切的)truth about an accident.There was a fire at the Seabreeze Hotel last August,that is one fact.Do we know anything else?Yes—we know that firemen went to the hotel.Now what do you think of the rest of the“news”?
