参考解析
解析：第一段第二句说：“为了让学生练习写关于演讲的报道，她要求听肯尼迪的就职演说，然后写一篇报道。”这里story并不是故事的意思。
第一段最后一句说：“但有两个学生走了捷径，他们抄袭了《纽约时报》关于肯尼迪就职演说的报道，并将《时代周刊》的文字变成了自己的。”
第四段第三句指出：“有些编辑把抄袭者留了下来，或者是明知他是抄袭者，却因为他们的天赋胜过他们的错误而雇用他们。”
最后一段，作者指出：“假如说已确认水门事件是犯罪行为，而Liddy还能成为有许多崇拜者的访谈节目主持人，尼克松也可以作为资深政治家在他去世时受到人们的尊敬，那么新闻工作者犯了抄袭的错误后在原来的出版机构继续工作，或者转换为更崇高的努力。”
第二段中指出：Youngwood女士想用此例来告诉她的学生，抄袭有多么不好并向《哥伦比亚周刊》寻求指导。她问：“我好奇在专业水平上会发生些什么。如果我被发现抄袭了别人的文章，将会受到何种处罚？”第三段第一、二句指出：可是她得到的回答并不干脆利落、是非分明。他们不置可否的口气反映了美国社会对于其他类似事件的不一致看法。”
