Last fall, many people shared social media(社交媒体) posts about scary clowns(可怕的小丑). The online posts said people dressed as clowns were waiting near schools planning to hurt students.

The clown story scared many people-but not the students in Diane Gardner's class Ms. Gardner teaches eighth-grade language arts. Her class did not believe the clown story.

“Some people got scared because they never looked into seeing who was posting the stories they were reading on social media,” said 13-year-old Patricia Rose from Ms. Gardner's class, “Sometimes people read just one story and automatically believed it was true,” her classmate Ivy Brooks added. “They should look to see where the story came from. Is it from a news group? Is it just a rumor- a circulating(流传的) story of uncertain truth?”

The posts were actually not written by reporters. Many posts like these were made by teenagers who did not have any proof (证据)of what they were posting. In the end, the clown story turned out to be a joke. It was fake news, or news that is wrong on purpose.

There are different kinds of fake news. Some have facts with incorrect information in them. A fact is something that can be proven true. Other fake news stories are opinions, but pretend (伪装)to be facts. An opinion is something a person thinks. Opinions change from person to person. Fake news is a problem because it spreads(传播)wrong information.

Being able to spot(认出) fake news is an increasingly important skill today. Stories spread lightning-fast online. It is also easier than ever to share incorrect information. Almost anyone can make a website where lies look like facts.

This can make it hard to know what real news is. That is why Ms Gardner is teaching her students to think critically(审判地) so that they can avoid falling for fake stories.

In her class, Ms. Gardner often points out that the first step when reading news is to slow down. “First, stop and think,”she says. “Then, ask yourself some questions: Is there any proof in the story? Where is this story coming from? Did the writer have a reason to make up this story?”

Her students have also learned and practiced these things. After they read a news story, they decide if the news story has mostly facts, or mostly opinions. Then they check the facts, they do more research to see if the story is right.

To test her students Gardner showed them a website about an animal called the pacific Northwest Tree Octopus. The website is full of information on this tree-climbing sea creature. It even has a few unclear pictures. But, just like the scary clowns, it's totally made up.

Ms. Gardner said this was a good lesson for her students. She wanted them to double-check the information they see. Her advice is simple: “_________”

1.At the beginning of the passage, the writer mentions the clown story to_________.

A.show that students aren't scared easily

B.warn that clowns could be dangerous to students.

C.suggest that stories spread online can sometimes be fake.

D.prove that stories not written by reporters are made up

2.According to the passage, a good reader of news would probably_________.

A.spot opinions in stories that pretend to be facts

B.do more research to check the opinions in the story

C.avoid falling for fake stories by reading very slowly

D.believe a story that includes more facts than opinions

3.What advice might Ms Gardner give her students?

A.Question everything. B.Never spread fake news.

C.Act quickly, think slowly. D.Read today, lead tomorrow.

4.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Stories that spread fast online are most likely fake news.

B.Patricia Rose hates people who post stories on the Internet.

C.Ms Gardner believes social media is harmful to her students.

D.Social media has made it easier and faster to spread fake news.

5. Parents and children will sit down and tell each other about their week at work or school.

With many traditions fading(逐渐消失), traditional Sunday dinners are as strong as ever. And I have a feeling that this traditional dinner will be on British tables all the time.

Have you ever seen a car without a driver? It sounds crazy, but these computer-driven driverless cars will soon be filling roads near you. Some big companies have been designing and testing these cars. The first robot-taxis with no drivers are planned to hit the road, and it is said that more than 10,000 driverless vehicles will be in use around the world by 2021.

The cars have sensors (传感器), including radar and GPS, which allows the cars to “ see” moving objects, like cars and people, in order to work out when to go faster or slower, or when to stop or turn. Sensors on the wheels also help when parking, so the car knows how far it is from the curb or other parked cars. Road signs are read by cameras, and GPS is used so the car knows how to get to the place you want to go. All you have to do is to type in the address!

Sound like your idea of heaven? Sitting back, looking out of the windows and even watching a film or reading a book while “driving” would be possible with this new technology. You wouldn’t have to worry about remembering directions to where you’re going. In addition, computers would drive more safely than people—they don’t get distracted by music or friends.

However, there are many drawbacks of driverless cars. Computers would have difficulties making decisions: if a child ran into the road, would the computer choose to hit the child or change direction and potentially kill the car’s passengers? Moreover, some people don’t believe these cars are safe and reliable. They think it’s highly possible for technology to make mistakes, meaning that driverless cars are just as dangerous as cars driven by actual drivers. There would also be many legal (法律的) decisions to be made—should children, or drunk people, be allowed in a driverless car by themselves?

Although being driven around by a machine would perhaps mean that no one needs a driver’s license, saving money for everyone, but many people would lose jobs. Bus and taxi drivers as well as driving instructors may not be needed any more.

Personally, I don’t think I’d ever want a driverless car because I find driving fun. But it’s only a matter of time before they’ll become more affordable and common on our roads.

1.The second paragraph is mainly about ________.

A. how driverless cars work B. what driverless cars can do

C. how comfortable driverless cars are D. what people like about driverless cars

2.The underlined word “drawbacks” in Paragraph 4 probably means “________”.

A. mistakes B. accidents C. problems D. rules

3.The writer probably agrees that ________.

A. driverless cars will bring more jobs for people

B. some people may refuse to buy a driverless car

C. traditional cars will disappear in the near future

D. people’s lives will be better because of driverless cars

4.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. The driverless car: is it safe to be on the road?

B. The driverless car: it’s the technology of the future

C. The driverless car: is it a great or problematic invention?

D. The driverless car: its advantages are more than disadvantages

Do you notice that though students spend the same amount of time in class, some get better grades than others? In some ways, it’s because they are different listeners. When having classes, some of them listen carefully. We call them effective listeners. Some just daydream or talk to others. They are ineffective listeners.

How are some listeners effective? First of all, they don’t care about some poor situations, like an uncomfortable seat or a personal problem. They say “No” to anything that will stop them from understanding and remembering. After leaving a class or meeting, they remember what the speakers said, not the room conditions or the speaker’s accent (口音).

Effective listeners always pay attention to the message itself. They try not to be influenced (被影响) by their own feelings or opinions. They do not decide if the thing is boring, too easy, or too difficult before listening. They like getting the challenge (挑战) of new ideas. To help remember difficult ideas, they write down important words and phrases.

However, ineffective listeners often daydream. They don’t like to hear what they don’t agree with or easily understand. They are often so busy taking notes that they miss the speaker’s main idea. These listeners leave a speech or a class with a notebook full of words, but the notebook means nothing.

Do you wish to do well in your study? Start to be an effective listener. It may help.

1.What does the underlined word “effective” mean?

A. 杰出的 　　　　　　　 B. 有效率的

C. 机智的　 　　　　　　　 D. 积极的

2.To be an effective listener, you'd better__________

A. pay attention to the message itself

B. try to know what happened around you

C. look up something about the speaker
