Picture this :You’re searching the Internet and come across a website with interesting articles . Some are news stories . Others only look like news stories. They’re actually advertisements. How do you , the readers ,tell the difference between a news story and an ad? In the past , it was easier . We got most of our information from newspapers . Big news stories appeared on the front page, and ads were boxed off and clearly labeled. But on the Internet , the two are often presented together . It can be hard to tell which is which. So a research group conducted a study in which students were shown the home page of a popular digital magazine and found out what was a news story and what was an ad . Most were great at identifying certain types of ads. “ It has a big company logo and the words a limited-time offer,” one student said. So where did kids get stuck ?

Just because something is sponsored doesn’t necessarily mean it’s false . It means someone paid for it to appear . Companies pay so that readers will see their stories, buy their products, and like what the company stands for . As a reader , you have a right to know who’s behind the information you’re consuming.

阅读下面材料, 根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段, 使之构成一篇完整的短文。 So bitter a dark winter day in 1942 was no different from any other day in this concentration camp. I was almost dead, surviving from day to day, since I was brought here with thousands of other Jews. Each day, as more disappeared, the hungry past seemed like a mere dream, and I sank deeper and deeper into despair. Suddenly, I noticed a young girl, on the other side of the barbed wire, stopped and looked at me with sad eyes seeming to say that she understood. Then she reached into her pocket, and pulled out a red apple. She looked cautiously to the left and the right and then with smile of triumph quickly threw the apple over the fence. I ran to pick it up, holding it in my trembling frozen fingers. Her eyes twinkled. In my world of death this apple was an expression of life, of love. She came at the same time to the spot the next day. And again she brought me an apple flying it over the fence with that same sweet smile. For seven months we met like this. Sometimes we exchanged a few words, sometimes just an apple. But one day I could barely speak as I said what must be said: “Don’ t bring me an apple tomorrow. I am being sent to another camp.” Turning before I lost all my control, I run away and I couldn’t stand looking back. With months passing and nightmares continuing, the memory of this girl sustained me through the hopelessness. Over and over in my mind, I saw her face, her kind eyes, I heard her gentle words, I tasted those apples. And then the war ended and I was freed. I lost everything that was precious to me including my family. But I still had the memory of this girl, a memory I carried in my heart and gave me the will to go on as I moved to America to start a new life. In the New York City a friend convinced me to go on a blind date with a girl named Roma. Reluctantly, I agreed. 注意:1. 续写词数应为150左右: 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 “Where were you during the war？” Roma asked me gently. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ With my heart pounding so loudly, I looked directly at Roma . ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
