In the past, most people received their news from newspapers, magazines, radio and TV. But now, almost anyone can report and publish on the Internet and share it as news through social media. But the problemis that not all of the information is true and not all of the reporting is trustworthy.
Howard Schneider, a former editor of the newspapersNewsday,started the Center for News Literacy (素养) at Stony Book University in 2007. The center has multiple projects, but the most famous one is a course to teach news literacy. The course trains students to look for various details that may indicate the truth of the story.
Michelle Sheng is a third-year student at theUniversityofMichigan. Sheng finds that students either just stop reading the news or only take news from one source that they trust. "A lot of people are tired of the news. People are too busy to keep up with the news, and it is really easy to take whatever news is given to you because you don’t have the time to figure it out yourself,“ she says.
For her part, Sheng recently created a digital exhibit for the university library of images to educate students on steps they can take to better analyze the news.
It is important to educate an even larger audience, beyond American university students. The Center for News Literacy has developed teaching resources, as well as a free online news literacy course. It is also trying to reach a younger audience. It has partnered with several secondary schools in the American state ofNew Yorkto teach news literacy.
People should research and confirm what they read online. However, to change human behavior is a difficult thing, but that really is the only thing that is going to help. The biggest problem is not getting people to be able to recognize bad journalism or false news, but getting people to want to recognize it. Our brains are wired to the Internet to seek out information that agrees with our current beliefs.
4. What’s purpose of the course “News Literacy”？
A. To get rid of false information on the Internet.
B. To make people realize the risk on the Internet.
C. To train students to tell true information from the false.
D. To teach students good habits of using information online.
5. Why do students have difficulty judging the truth of news?
A. They are too lazy.
B. They are bored with news.
C. They lack news resources.
D. They lack time to check its realness.
6. What does the Center try to do besides teaching university students?
A. Educate the public.
B. Improve the service online.
C. Prevent children going online.
D. Set up several secondary schools.
7. What did the author suggest doing to solve the problem of false news?
A. Believing whatever you see.
B. Changing human behaviors.
C. Questioning all the news online.
D. Only trusting reliable information.
C
Ten years ago, I set out to examine luck. I wanted to know why some people were always in the right place at the right time, while others consistently experienced ill fortune. I placed advertisements in national newspapers asking for people who felt consistently lucky or unlucky. Hundreds of extraordinary men and women volunteered for my research. Over the years I have interviewed them, monitored their lives and had them take part in various experiments.
In one of the experiments, I gave both lucky and unlucky people a newspaper, asking them to look through it and tell me how many photographs were inside. I had secretly placed a large message halfway through the newspaper, saying, “Tell the experimenter you have seen this and you will win $50.” This message took up half of the page and was written in type that was more than two inches high. It was staring everyone in the face, but the unlucky people tended to miss it and the lucky people tended to spot it.
Unlucky people are generally more nervous than lucky people, and this anxiety affects their ability to notice
the unexpected. As a result, they miss opportunities because they are too focused on looking for something else. They go to gatherings concentrating on finding their perfect partners and miss opportunities to make good friends. They look through newspapers determined to find certain types of job advertisements and miss other types of jobs.
Lucky people are more relaxed and open, and therefore see what is there rather than just what they are looking for. My research eventually showed that lucky people are skilled at noticing opportunities, make lucky decisions by listening to their intuition (直觉), are open to new experiences, and adopt a never-say-die attitude that transforms bad luck into good luck.
8. What’s the purpose of the author’s research?
A. To discover what luck means to people.
B. To find lucky people and unlucky people.
C. To distinguish between good luck and bad luck.
D. To figure out why people are always lucky or unlucky.
9. Why did the unlucky people miss the message in the experiment?
A. There was too much information to be read in detail.
B. They were too focused on looking for photographs.
C. It took too much time to go through newspapers.
D. The words were too small to be noticed.
10. What leads to lucky people’s good fortune?
A. Their ability to spot opportunities.
B. Their ability to become relaxed.
C. Their ability to communicate.
D. Their ability to make friends.
11. What’s the key message of the last paragraph?
A. What lucky people are looking for.
B. How lucky people generate good luck.
C. What lucky people can do with opportunities.
D How lucky people transform bad luck into good luck.
D
Summer heat can be dangerous, and heat leads to tragedy far toooften. According to kidsandcars, org, an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US, when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle.
For Bishop Curry, a fifth grader from Mckinney, Texas, one such incident hit close to home. A six-month-old
baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car. After hearing about her death, Curry decided that something needed to be done. Young Curry, who turned 11 this year, has always had a knack for inventing things, and he drew up a sketch (草图) of a device he called “Oasis.”
The device would attach to carseats and watch the temperature inside the car. If it reached a certain temperature in the car, and the device sensed a child in the carseat, it would begin to circulate cool air. Curry alsodesigns the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology, which would alarm the child’s parents and, if there was no response from them, the police.
Curry’s father believes that the invention has potential. “The cool thing about Bishop’s thinking is none of this technology is new,” he said. “We feel like the way he’s thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster.” His father even introduced the device to Toyota, where he works as an engineer. The company was so impressed that they sent Curry and his father to a car safety conference in Michigan.
In January, Curry’s father launched a campaign for the invention. They hope to raise money to finalize the patent, build models, and find a manufacturer. Their goal was $20,000, but so many people believed in Oasis’ potential that they have raised more than twice that — over $46,000.
Curry’s father remembers the first time he saw his son’s sketch. “I was so proud of him for thinking of a solution,” he said. “We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions.”
12. What inspired Curry to invent Oasis?
A. His narrow escape from death after being locked in a car.
B. His knowledge of many children’s death because of car heat.
C. The death of his neighbor’s baby after being left in a hot car.
D. The injury of 37 children in his school in a car accident.
13. What would Oasis do if it was hot in a car with a child?
A. It would inform the parents or even the police.
B. It would pump out the hot air in the car.
C. It would sound the alarm attached to the car.
D. It would get the window open to save the child.
14. What does Curry’s father think is cool about Curry’s invention?
A. It used some of the most advanced technology.
B. It simply combined technologies that existed.
C. It could accelerate production of new technology.
D. It is the most advanced among similar products.
15. Why did Curry’s father start a campaign to raise money?
A. To conduct experiments to test the invention.
B. To get other children devoted to inventions.
C. To support a charity of medical aid for children.
D. To get the patent and bring it to production.
