I don't quite follow you here.  You have:

1) Articles that are read that you want to see

2) Articles that are read that you don't want to see

3) New articles

Ticking the articles in 1) will achieve exactly this.  If there are
no unread articles in the group, only the ticked articles will be
shown when you enter the group.

(Unless you have customized a different behavior, of course.)
