21、These days, teens are heavily influenced by the media. Many of them have watched thousands of hours of TV. That’s 5-more time than they spend with teachers at school. And we haven’t yet considered the hours they spend using the internet and reading newspapers.
However, several studies have shown a serious problem:Today’s teens lack media literacy. In other words, they have difficulty critically thinking about the information they see. One study focused on middle school students. It found more than 80 percent of them couldn’t tell the difference between real news stories and ads that looked like news.
Stanford University professor Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects. He tries to help his students learn media literacy. The Professor gave an example that shows why media literacy matters. In the example, two news stations report a snowstorm. One focuses on the terrible road conditions. The other focuses on kids playing in the snow. “With a news’ story, news stations tell you what they feel are the important details. These details largely depend on the opinions of the news director,” said John, “A person who has media literacy would realize that each story is about one aspect at one point in time. There is more going on.”
Some experts think School is the best place to teach media literacy. Others believe everyone from parents to journalists should help teens learn the skill.
As for the best time to start learning media literacy, many experts recommend the age of 12. But some basic ideas can be taught even earlier. “It’s never too early to start learning media literacy.” said John.
【1】What can we know about teens today from paragraph 1?
A.They are willing to read newspaper at home.
B.They prefer watching TV to surfing the internet.
C.They spend more time watching TV than studying.
D.They are fond of surfing the internet better at school.
【2】What is the main idea of paragraph 2?
A.Most of teens have trouble with reading.
B.Most of teens needs to practise thinking.
C.Most of teens are short of media literacy.
D.Most of teens lay stress on media effects.
【3】What does the example given by professor imply?
A.There are many sides to a thing at one time.
B.Terrible road conditions cause inconvenience.
C.One’s media literacy depends on your attitude.
D.News details must be announced by news stations.
【4】Which of the following statements does John agree with?
A.Parents have the responsibility to realize media literacy.
B.Teens should learn media literacy as early as possible.
C.The best age for children to learn is the age of 12.
D.Children can be taught better only at school.

23、Now scientists in Lausanne, Switzerland have given three paralyzed men the ability to walk again. Each of the three men had damaged their spinal cords (脊髓) in motorcycle accidents and couldn’t move their legs.
To help them walk again, the men had surgery. A paddle shaped device was placed directly on the lower part of their spinal cord, below their injury. This implant (植入物) contained sixteen electrodes—conductors that electricity can pass through. The researchers made sure the electrodes on the implant were lined up with the spinal cord nerves that control the leg muscles (肌肉). To begin with, the scientists controlled the implants from a tablet computer. Just hours after the implants were first used, all three men were taking steps,with support.
In the past, scientists had some success with similar implants in the lower spine. Some patients have even trained themselves over months to be able to walk. This research is different. The patients’ brains aren’t sending “walking” messages to their legs. Instead, the tablet tells the implant to send the walking messages as a set of electrical signals.
The researchers used computers to create patterns of movement—like taking a step—that would work well with each patient. The patient then uses the tablet to choose the pattern they want. That triggers the implant, and the muscles move in the chosen way. Over time, the men were able to walk entirely on their own, using a special walker with buttons to excite each leg. One of the men has walked for half a kilometer on his own with the walker.
The method is very expensive and it requires difficult surgery. The patients can’t walk without the AI system. But it is a vital step to improve people’s quality of life. The scientists hope that in the future they will engineer personalized spinal cord implants to allow many paralyzed people to walk again in just hours.
