As we all know, News is the main way to convey information, so the news reports should be fair, objective and neutral. Any newspaper and magazine serve the specific classes and groups, thus its reports necessarily reflect certain attitudes and positions. Based on Martin's Appraisal Theory, this paper analyzes ten news reports from China Daily from the perspective of Graduation. Graduation is a sub-system of Appraisal Theory. Its function is to adjust the attitude and the intensity of intervention, focusing on the typicality of the category. This article aims to reveal the ideology hidden behind objective words and the function of naturalizing value positions, which can help readers to improve their critical reading consciousness
