21、   Every time you're online. you are bombarded by pictures, articles, links and videos trying to tell their stories.【1】Sometimes they want you to click on another story or advertisement at their own site, other times they want to upset people for political reasons. Experts in media studies and online psychology have been examining the fake news phenomenon. Read these tips, and don't get fooled!

Check the source. 【2】Fake news websites often use addresses that sound like real newspapers, but don't have many real newspapers, but don't have many real stories about other topics. If you aren't sure, click on the “About” page and look for a clear description of the organization.

【3】Look to see if the story you are reading is on other news sites that you know and trust. If you do find it on many other sites, then it probably isn't fake, as many big news organizations try to check their sources before they publish a story.

There are other techniques that fake news uses. These include using ALL CAPS and lots of ads that pop up when you click on a link. 【4】If the news story makes you angry, it's probably designed to make you angry.

If you know these things about online news, and can apply them in your everyday life, then you have the control over what to read, what to believe and most importantly what to share. If you find a news story that you know is fake, the most important advice is: 【5】

A．Don't share it.

B．Read about it in print media.

C．Check the story in other places.

D．Unfortunately, not all of these stories are true.

E．Also, think about how the story makes you feel.

F．Look at the website where the story comes from.

G．However, the rash of fake news is a relatively new problem.

22、Art exploration is not only fun and entertaining, but also educational. It allows youth to practice a wide range of skills that are useful not only for life, but also for learning. Here are some tips for growing your up-and-coming artist.

Talk with your child about their work. 【1】. When we ask “What is it?”, we are saying that it should look like something we’d recognize. Instead, ask open-ended questions like “Tell me about your picture.” You can also describe specific things your child is doing by saying things such as, “You’re making short lines. I see you are using red, green and blue.”

Do what your child does. Instead of drawing your own picture, sit down with your child and do their actions. 【2】. If your child concentrates on what you are drawing or how “good” your picture is, they are less likely to be imaginative and creative on their own.

【3】. Instead of sitting down with a specific plan or outcome in mind, let your child explore, experiment and use their imaginations. They might make a big mess or change their mind several times-this is all part of the creative process.

Support, don’t lead. Have you ever noticed that activities become much less fun when they are told by someone else?   【4】. So let them decide what materials they want to use and how and when to use them. Maybe they want to peel (剥) the paper off a crayon and use it lengthwise on the paper, instead of writing with the tip.

Get your child creating and learning. 【5】.

A．It is the same case with kids

B．Keep the process open-ended

C．Don’t shift their focus onto their drawings

D．It’s often hard to interpret a child’s drawings

E．Focus on the product, not the complex process

F．All you’ll need is a paintbrush and an open mind

G．Make big or small lines, or practice drawing circles

23、   By the end of the 2020s, almost a quarter of Japan's population will be over 65. So, to help society deal with an ageing population, a Tokyo company has developed an “Ageing Suit”. As a journalist, I went along to try it out.

The few hours I spent at the “Wonderful Ageing Club” were, it has to be said, rather depressing. I, dressed in the club's “ageing suit”, was transformed rather too quickly from a relatively healthy 36-year-old to an 80-year-old.

First, I had to put on restrictive bindings (捆绑) over my knees, elbows, ankles and feet, which made me unable to move normally. The ladies of the Wonderful Ageing Club, however, were still far from finished. Assuring me that their suit had been carefully designed on the basis of scientific research into the exact effects of ageing, they next applied a pair of special gloves to my hands to make grabbing much more difficult. A number of weights were attached to my body to create the sensation of weakened muscles. A pair of earplugs muffled my hearing and my vision grew rather clouded as a result of my special glasses. This completed an imprisonment in a body more than twice my own age. Now I found myself clumsily getting my way through such newly difficult tasks as sitting down on a chair and then standing up again or opening a can of Coke.

But what is the purpose of this ageing suit? The company claims that it gives a very accurate representation of what being old is really like, and that, when it comes to planning for the future, that experience will be of great value. They hope to see whether the products or services they offer really do meet the needs of the elderly.

【1】How did the author feel at the “Wonderful Ageing Club”?

A．Unhappy.

B．Curious.

C．Puzzled.

D．Cheerful.

【2】What did the ladies of the “Wonderful Ageing Club” tell the author?

A．The suit was far from completed.

B．The suit was scientifically designed.

C．They had to perform the task carefully.

D．They had to experience the state of aging.

【3】What does the underlined part in Paragraph 3 mean?

A．An exhausted condition.

B．A relaxed atmosphere.

C．A pleased state.

D．A restricted situation.

【4】What is the ageing suit intended to do?

A．Reduce the cost of the ageing problem.

B．Make the homes of the old smart.

C．Tailor elderly services to fit their needs.

D．Sell different products to the elderly.
