After-reading exercises: as you have just learnt, certain words are very often
used in newspaper headlines because they are short or sound dramatic. Some
of these words are not common in ordinary language or are used in a different
sense. Headlines also omit certain words and use colloquial expressions,
abbreviations and different verb tenses,
