In June 2014. Huffington Post and Mail Online reported that three—year-old Victoria Wilcher，who had suffered facial scarring, had been kicked out of a KFC because she was frightening customers. Later，KFC announced that no evidence had been found to support the story. This phenomenon is largely a product of the increasing pressure in newsrooms that care more about traffic figures.
Brooke Binkowski，an editor，says that，during her career, she has seen a shift towards less editorial oversight in newsrooms. “Clickbait is king, so newsrooms will uncritically print something unreal. Not all newsrooms are like this，but a lot of them are. ”
Asked what the driving factor was，a journalist said，“You’ve an editor breathing down your neck and you have to meet your targets. And there are some young journalists on the market who are inexperienced and who will not do those checks. So much news that is reported online happens online. There is no need to get out and knock on someone's door. You just sit at your desk and do it. ”
Another journalist says，“There is definitely pressure to churn out(粗制滥造) stories in order to get clicks，because they equal money. At my former employer in particular，the pressure was on due to the limited resources. That made the environment quite horrible to work in.”
In a February 2015 report for Digital Journalism，Craig Silverman wrote，“Today the bar for what is worth giving attention to seems to be much lower. Within minutes or hours，a badly sourced report can be changed into a story that is repeated by dozens of news websites, resulting in tens of thousands of shares. Once a certain critical mass is reached，repetition has a powerful effect on belief. The rumor（传闻）becomes true for readers simply by virtue of its ubiquity. ”
And，despite the direction that some newsrooms seem to be heading in, a critical eye is becoming more，not less important，according to the New York Times’public editor, Margaret Sullivan. “Reporters and editors have to be more careful than ever before. It's extremely important to question and to use every verification(验证) method available before publication. ”Yet those working in newsrooms talk of doubtful stories being tolerated because. in the words of some senior editors, “a click is a click，regardless of the advantage of a story”. And，“if the story does turn out to be false, it's simply a chance for another bite at the cherry. ”
Verification and fact—checking are regularly falling victim to the pressure to bring in the numbers，and if the only result of being caught out is another chance to bring in the clicks, that looks unlikely to change.
1.According to Brooke Binkowski, newsrooms produce false news because _______.
A. clicks matter a lot B. resources are limited
C. budgets are inadequate D. journalists lack experience
2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A. Lies can't sell without an atom of truth.
B. Rumors are like a flame blown by the wind.
C. You can hear rumors, but you can't know them.
D. A lie, repeated often enough，will end up as truth.
3.What's Margaret Sullivan's attitude towards false news online?
A. Negative. B. Supportive.
C. Sceptical. D. Neutral.
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Consequences of false stories. B. Causes of online false news.
C. Incompetence of journalists. D. A craze to get clicks.

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reported that the St. Louis Outlet Mall is expanding its restrictions on unaccompanied teenagers. In 2006, a parental-escort (陪同)policy was established: on Fridays and Saturdays starting at 6 p.m., anyone under 17 that isn’t accompanied by a guardian who is at least 21 years old will be kicked out of the mall. It was around this time that other malls around the U.S. likewise banned unaccompanied teens during certain evening hours.
Starting from this Friday, the St. Louis Outlet Mall is pushing its parental-escort rule back to 3 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays. Similarly, the Mall of America expanded its parental-escort policy during the recent holiday shopping season. Normally, the policy bans kids under 16 without guardians(监护人) from 4 p.m. until closing time just on Fridays and Saturdays. But because of a fight in the mall involving dozens of young people that took place on Dec. 18, 2012---- a weekday, the policy was broadened to include peak 2013 holiday shopping hours, including Thanksgiving Day and all of the Christmas week.
Teen disturbances in other malls may cause more shopping centers to introduce or expand parental-escort policies. The Indianapolis Star noted that two incidents in 2013 in area shopping centers raised the possibility that Indianapolis malls might need to consider banning unaccompanied teenagers.
Obviously, such bans are aimed at stopping violence and other outbursts involving teenagers. More importantly, from a purely business perspective, these bans aim to attract shoppers who might otherwise be hesitant to go to the mall because of concerns about violence and outbursts involving teenagers. The restrictions allow mall security officers to systematically kick out a group of people that are considered to be loud, thuggish and bad for business overall. But they attract much criticism from online communities. Some argue that teens have the right to shop without a guardian. “Not all teens are disrespectful and troublemakers,” Pamela Chapman wrote. “In fact, it’s been my experience that most are good kids.”
Again, the biggest influence on stricter mall policies for teens seems to be that they’re just plain good for business. Malls reported strong sales growth after they first carried out the policies six years ago. “We’ve had some success with the parental-escort policy, and families like shopping out here together,” the manager of the St. Louis Outlet Mall told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch . If there’s one rule in retail, it’s this---- if a small initiative proves successful in boosting sales, then it’s all but guaranteed that a larger initiative will follow.
1.What made malls restrict unaccompanied teenagers?
A. Teenagers’ disturbances.
B. Teenagers’ safety.
C. Limited holiday shopping hours.
D. Teenagers’ potential purchasing power.
2.What might be Pamela Chapman’s attitude towards the parental-escort policy?
A. Unconcerned. B. Skeptical.
C. Opposed. D. Positive.
3.The manager of the St. Louis Outlet Mall seemed to believe the parental-escort policy ______.
A. was temporary B. helped increase sales
C. was unfair to teenagers D. discouraged some families
4.What is the passage mainly about?
A. Violent incidents happening in St. Louis.
B. Malls’ bans on unaccompanied teens.
C. Security measures at American malls.
D. Parents’ duty to protect teenagers.
