21、   In the past, most people received their news from newspapers, magazines, radio and TV. But now, almost anyone can report and publish on the Internet and share it as news through social media. But the problem is that not all of the information is true and not all of the reporting is trustworthy.

Howard Schneider, a former editor of the newspapers Newsday, started the Center for News Literacy (素养) at Stony Book University in 2007. The center has multiple projects, but the most famous one is a course to teach news literacy. The course trains students to look for various details that may indicate the truth of the story.

Michelle Sheng is a third-year student at the University of Michigan. Sheng finds that students either just stop reading the news or only take news from one source that they trust. "A lot of people are tired of the news. People are too busy to keep up with the news, and it is really easy to take whatever news is given to you because you don’t have the time to figure it out yourself,“ she says.

For her part, Sheng recently created a digital exhibit for the university library of images to educate students on steps they can take to better analyze the news.

It is important to educate an even larger audience, beyond American university students. The Center for News Literacy has developed teaching resources, as well as a free online news literacy course. It is also trying to reach a younger audience. It has partnered with several secondary schools in the American state of New York to teach news literacy.   

People should research and confirm what they read online. However, to change human behavior is a difficult thing, but that really is the only thing that is going to help. The biggest problem is not getting people to be able to recognize bad journalism or false news, but getting people to want to recognize it. Our brains are wired to the Internet to seek out information that agrees with our current beliefs.

【1】What’s purpose of the course “News Literacy”？

A．To get rid of false information on the Internet.

B．To make people realize the risk on the Internet.

C．To train students to tell true information from the false.

D．To teach students good habits of using information online.

【2】Why do students have difficulty judging the truth of news?

A．They are too lazy.

B．They are bored with news.

C．They lack news resources.

D．They lack time to check its realness.

【3】What does the Center try to do besides teaching university students?

A．Educate the public.

B．Improve the service online.

C．Prevent children going online.

D．Set up several secondary schools.

【4】What did the author suggest doing to solve the problem of false news?

A．Believing whatever you see.

B．Changing human behaviors.

C．Questioning all the news online.

D．Only trusting reliable information.

24、Who is to blame for the shapes of our noses?

If you are not satisfied with the shape of your nose, blame it on climate, not your parents or grandparents. In a study published this week in the journal PLOS Genetics, researchers from the Pennsylvania State University found that human noses may have been shaped, in part, by a long process of adaptation to local climate conditions. 【1】.

The findings were based on an examination of the size and shape of noses on people with West African, South Asian, East Asian, or Northern European ancestry. It showed that the width of the nostrils is strongly related to temperature and absolute humidity (绝对湿度), but not the result of genetic drift (遗传漂变).

One purpose of the nose is to condition the air we breathe, to ensure that it is warm and moist when it reaches the lungs, which helps to prevent infections. 【2】which was probably more essential to have this trait in cold and dry climates, it said.

People with narrower nostrils probably had better and had more offspring than people with wider nostrils, in colder climates.【3】. The nose has had a complex evolutionary history, however, and researchers suspected that additional factors, such as cultural preferences when picking a mate, have also pl played a role in shaping the nose. 【4】. Studies of human adaptation are essential to our understanding of disease and yield insights into why certain conditions, such as skin cancer, are more common in certain populations.

The researchers said that it may be worth investigating whether the shape of the nose impacts ones risk of contracting breathing diseases when living in a climate that is different from one's ancestors.

A．This leads to a gradual decrease in nose width in populations living far away from the equator (赤道)

B．Wider nostrils (鼻孔) seem to warm and humidify the inside of nose better to protect us from being infected

C．Narrower nostrils seem to alter the airflow so that noses can humidify and warm the air more efficiently

D．Generally, wider noses are more common in warm and humid climates, while narrower noses are more common in cold and dry climate

E．This can clearly explain why our ancestors aren’t to blame for the nose shapes and sizes

F．Investigations into nose shape evolution and climate adaptation may have medical implications as well
