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
I have a memory of being about five years old, picking up a beautiful grilled(烧烤的）cheese sandwich made for me by my hard —working mother and turning it over to see that theother side was burned. Suddenly what I thought was the perfect sandwich was not so perfect. Mom had tried to hide that fact from me. There was no question; I ate it anyway without complaining. However, that moment has stuck in my mind for many years. Now, at the age of 43 as a mother of two children and as a biology professor where I am routinely the "academic mother" of hundreds of students every year,I find that I believe inThe Grilled Cheese Principle.Here is what I mean Making a grilled cheese sandwich is easy right? But when I think of how many burned grilled cheese sandwiches I have eaten, or I have made myself, I realize that most of the grilled cheese sandwiches I have known have had at least one burned side. The thing is that although it is a ly easy thing to make, I can also easily lose focus, and before long the sandwich is burned. For my mother, the first side was usually perfect and the second side got burned due to her being distracted. For me,I have tended to burn the first side,but then I more carefully monitor the second side.Either way,the grilled cheese sandwich suffers because it has not been given the attention it deserves
So, I have learned that even the simplest task deserves my full attention. When I am multi-tasking, I am doing
none of the tasks well. And when I allow myself to be distracted, I am not in the present moment — not paying attention to the small details of living or enjoying the process
So now, I believe the best way to make a perfect grilled cheese sandwich is to make only one at a time and give it my full attention.
8. How did the writer react to the sandwich with burned side?
A. She ate it with some complaints
B. She showed no interest.
C. She thought it was still perfect
D. She was deeply impressed with it
9. What doesThe Grilled Cheese Principlemean?
A. Even simple things deserve full attention
B. Losing focus makes the sandwich burned
C. Self-made sandwiches are always burned
D. we should make only one sandwich at a time
10. Which of the following can we infer from the passage?
A. Everything cannot be done well without full attention
B. Moms always like to lie to kids when they have done something wrong
C. We can lose focus more easily when we do easy things.
D. Multi-tasking can be an obstacle to the achievement of tasks.
11. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?
A. Nothing is perfect
B. Learn to appreciate the burned sandwiches
C. Devote yourself to one thing at a time.
D. Never do multi-tasks
D
What about your emotions? How do they help you to understand what you are reading?
In Jane Yolan'sOwl Moon,a girl explores with her father on a snowy night. She longs for this special night.And she's amazed when she sees an owl.Have you felt longing before? Amazement? Well, if you have, it helps you have a sense of agreement. When we can put ourselves inside a story we can understand it better. Our brain tells us,"Oh, this girl's experience is a bit like mine."And boom! We can relate to her.But this skill is not born in us.So
young kids have to learn it.
Pictures and images help young readers to understand and recognize feelings.Readers feel joy when seeing the smiling faces of friends.They feel fear when turning the page to find a scary monster. They are just pictures,but the feelings are real. This skill, to understand the thinking and feeling of others, is what researchers call "theory of mind".
For example, think about the faces of people and animals in stories. The Big Bad Wolf's scary teeth. The 'o' shape of a surprised character's mouth. Or big, wide eyes like the girl inOwl Moon.By noticing the faces,readers can start to figure out what it feels like to be that character.And that helps to figure out how people feel and think in real life.
But most young readers don't go into deep,scary woods.And some may not go to the beach or play basketball.In the bookYo!Yes?two kids meet and play ball. The kids start the story on opposite pages.But as the story goes on,they get closer until they are together.Some young readers might not play basketball, but they can read the clues on the page to figure out how the kids are feeling.And some readers might not like the game,but they can feel excited for the characters because of how the characters look and move.
12. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A.Owl Moontalks about the exploration of the Moon.
B. The feeling of"amazement"is a sense of agreement.
C. Readers are blessed with the ability to interpret others.
D. Readers with similar experience understand the story better.
13. Which of the following might help readers develop"theory of mind"?
A. True feelings.
B. Smiling faces.
C. Picture books.
D. Reading skills.
14. Young readers can go deeper into a story by________.
A. tracking the plot
B. developing new skills
C. sharing similar hobbies
D. analyzing the background
15. What is the text mainly about?
A. How thinking influences reading.
B. How readers improve reading skills.
C. How emotions help enhance reading.
D. How kids figure out the clues of stories.
