Half of the 18-29-year-olds said they had “some or much trust in the information from social media”. But if the information is 1 (accurate) or entirely made up, there is the risk that young people will fall victim to false information. “The algorithm (算法) cares not about what’s true or false, but about keeping you 2 (entertain) and participating,” said Ethan Zuckerman, director of the Initiative for Digital Public Infrastructure.
The responsibility 3 (fight) the rise of misinformation on these platforms does not fall only to users or social media companies or policymakers, according to Michael Best, 4 professor of international affairs; it has to be a group effort.
The first part is 5 users, according to Best. They should have a personal responsibility to develop 6 he called their “media consumption literacy.” He and other experts suggest that the best way to reduce the threat of spreading or 7 (consume) misinformation is to fact-check content from unknown users or even what’s shared by the people you follow.
Next, social media companies have a large responsibility to ensure that their platform is not spreading misinformation. They 8 (cooperate) with some organizations to see to it. Contents identified as false are labeled 9 misinformation, and distribution is decreased. De-ranking is another method against harmful or extreme contents. It moves contents seen as harmful or false further down so fewer people view it. “If the content is absolutely unacceptable, the ultimate method is deplatforming. That means removing those users”, Best said.
Best also suggested that policymakers hold social media companies accountable for their business models and possibly influence them to abandon algorithms that forward inappropriate content. “Abandoning algorithms may not change things, though”, Zuckerman argued. “Even with all its disadvantages, at its best, social media serves a purpose for young people. They need some space in society 10 they can have conversations.”

The Mid-Autumn Festival, celebrated on the 15th day of the eighth month in the Chinese lunar calendar, is 11 time for family and friends to reunite. As a famous Chinese poem goes, “The dew is whiter from tonight; the moon is 12 (bright) in my hometown.” Since ancient times, people in China 13 (gather) under the bright, full moon to enjoy mooncakes together, while those far away would gaze at the same moon, wishing for future reunions.
On September 13, a group of journalists, international students and influencers (网红) met in Beijing to celebrate the conclusion of the second 14 (train) workshop for we-media influencers from Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) countries. The annual workshop aims to promote friendship between participants 15 enhance mutual understanding between China and LAC countries. This year, it invited influencers 16 23 LAC countries to tour China, visiting places including Beijing, Hunan, Fujian and Shandong provinces.
The most popular stall (摊位) was one 17 visitors could experience huadian, a form of traditional Chinese facial 18 (decorate), literally meaning “floral ornamental emblems.” 19 (date) back to written records from the Tang Dynasty (618-907), huadian was popular nationwide hundreds of years ago. Classic designs include jasmine, cherry blossoms, lotus, peonies and plum blossoms, often 20 (paint) in red, green and yellow pigments (颜料).

How would you feel if moving to a new town meant losing track of your friends What if the only way of getting news from faraway friends was writing letters that took ages to 21 (deliver) This was how things worked not very long ago. Thanks to 22 (advance) in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed 23 (significant).
Nowadays, we can move around the world 24 still stay in touch with the people that we want to remain friends with. Social media tools let us see what our friends are up to and maintain friendships. All you need is 25 wi-fi connection.
The digital age also 26 (enable) us to find people who share our interests. Whatever our hobbies, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy 27 (do) them, even if they live on the other side of the world.
But when you “friend” people online, does this mean that they really are your friends
If people always exchange true 28 (person) information online, then yes, these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media is often not the whole truth about a person.
On social media sites, people tend 29 (post) only positive updates 30 make them appear happy and friendly. But smiling photos can hide real problems.

With the widespread of the Internet, our life is becoming more and more convenient. Moreover, some people’s lives 31 (change) by online communities and social networks.
Jan Tchamani was an English teacher in Birmingham, UK. 32 (unfortunate), she was out of work due to her sudden illness. Stuck at home, she felt lonely and 33 (bore). Thanks to the Internet, she joined an online community, where she 34 (get) support and advice by sharing her problems.
35 (inspire) by the people she met online, she started 36 IT club to teach older people how to surf the Internet. Many people benefited from the club, of whom a man aged 59 learnt to apply for work online and found a great job. The club helped an old woman who was living alone set up a small online company successfully.
In spite of her achievements, she continues to learn more about how to use the Internet. She holds a strong 37 (believe) that everyone should have access to the Internet and that 38 is highly important to bridge the digital divide.
“When you go 39 tough times, you meet others who are facing similar challenges,” Jan says. “ 40 (think) about other people’s situations inspired me to offer help.” Others’ lives have been changed, and so has her life.

The Internet has brought us great 41 (convenient). To a certain extent, we can hardly live without it. However, it also raises all sorts of questions: when surfing the Internet, how can we protect ourselves How can we use the Internet 42 (responsible) The following guidelines may show you how to live in the digital world.
Above all else, you should use the Internet in 43 safe way. You must always be careful about which sites to trust. One wrong click may damage your computer and remove all your computer files! Therefore, before 44 (visit) a web page, always check for signs that warn people 45 danger. Another tip is to keep your personal information private, including your phone number, address and email account.
You also need to show respect when communicating with other online users. Leave 46 (comment) politely and treat others the way in 47 you would like to be treated. Though the majority of online users are nice and friendly, there might be some users who make you feel 48 (comfortable) online. In such cases, be aware that you always have the right 49 (say) no and cut off contact. Remember that relationships you establish in the digital world 50 just the same as those you have in real life.

Social media is one of the fastest-growing industries in today’s world. A study 51 (conduct) by the US Pew Research enter showed that 92 percent of teenagers go online daily. The wide spread of social media has 52 (absolute) changed nearly all parts of teenagers’ lives.
“It has changed relationships. High school student Elly Cooper from Illinois said social media often reduces face-to-face 53 (communicate). It makes in-person relationships harder because of people’s attention given to their phones instead 54 their friends,” Cooper said.
Yet, some people believe social media has made it easier 55 (start) relationships with anyone from anywhere. Beth Kaplan from Illinois 56 (meet) her long-distance friend through social media last November. He currently lives in Scotland, but they’re still able to frequently communicate with each other. “I can feel close to someone to 57 I’m talking via social media,” Kaplan said.
Besides, the rise of social media has changed the way teenagers see 58 (they). The 19-year-old Essena O’Neill announced on the social networking service that she was quitting social media because it made her unable to stop 59 (think) about appearing perfect online.
However, Armin Korsos, 60 student from Illinois, takes advantage of the comments he receives over social media to improve his videos on the social networking site.

With the development of modern technology, people can stay 61 (connect) with their families and friends easily, however far apart they are from each other. WeChat is one of 62 most frequently used means of 63 (communicate) in China. It is reported that the number of the WeChat users 64 (reach) over 1.1 billion so far.
Once 65 (join) the WeChat, people can find more and more people start to add them as friends. They don’t have to consider time zones when communicating. Another reason why it becomes so popular is that it costs nothing. It’s also very convenient for people to 66 (immediate) update what they are doing by WeChat.
However, addiction to WeChat will rob people of the time that should otherwise be spent 67 something more important. And the many so-called friends on it 68 (be) not really friends at all, 69 simply want to put ads or sell items on Moments. Besides, people on the Wechat are more likely 70 (compare) themselves with others, which will make them feel bad when finding some people seem to be successful.

With the rapid development of the Internet, more and more teenagers make friends online nowadays. Some people say it’s good to do that, while others think it’s harmful 71 (especial) to school pupils.
Some consider that making friends online is a modern way to share friendship 72 others. They can express their thoughts 73 ( free) to improve social skills and fluency in English. On the contrary, some strongly believe it is 74 waste of time to make friends through online communication and what’s worse, those so-called “friends” are likely to cheat you after 75 (gain) your trust.
In my opinion, 76 the Internet is good or not depends on how we use it. If it 77 (use) properly, we can communicate with people 78 come from every corner of the world, and share life experiences. Of course, however, since the Internet was born, many bad men 79 (make) use of it to do something bad. So we must learn to determine truth or falsity and avoid being hurt.
In 80 (conclude), every coin has two sides. So does the Internet. If used in a proper way, the Internet has more advantages in seeking friendship.

Thanks to advances in technology, how we make friends and communicate with them has changed 81 (significant). Nowadays, we can move around the world and still stay in touch 82 the people that we want to remain friends with.
Social media tools let us see what our friends are up to and maintain friendships. The digital age also enables us 83 (find) people who share our interests, such as 84 (collect) model cars or playing an unusual instrument. Whatever our 85 (hobby) are, the Internet can connect us with others who also enjoy doing them, even if they live on the other side of the world.
However, the “friends" online don’t necessarily become our real friends. If people always exchange true 86 (person) information online, then these friendships can be real and meaningful. But we need to keep in mind that what we see on social media 87 (be) often not the whole truth about a person. On social media sites, people tend to post only positive updates 88 make them appear happy and friendly and the smiling photos can hide real problems. 89 this doesn’t mean that we should throw the baby out with the bathwater. Although in recent years technology 90 (change) the way we acquire friends, the meaning of friendship and our longing for friends remain the same.

Recently, the number of American teenagers reporting feelings of depression has grown significantly. A big new study suggests an 91 (explain) — the rise of social media. With data 92 (collect) from more than 50,000 American teenagers, researchers found that those who spent lots of time 93 (read) social media posts were more likely to agree with remarks such as “The future often seems 94 (hope).” Those who used screens less were less likely to report feelings of depression.
As a matter 95 fact, this is not the first time that scientists 96 (find) that social media can rob people of their happiness. One study published in 2016 asked a 97 (random) selected group of adults to quit Facebook for a week. It turned out that they reported feeling less depressed at the end of the week than those who continued using it.
Some research, however, suggests that social-networking sites can promote happiness if used properly. This provides a reminder that it is users’ attitudes 98 shape their experiences on social media. Sarah, 99 junior at a high school in Los Angeles says, “People only post what they want you to see, so it can seem that their life is better than 100 (you).” But when asked if she has ever considered deleting her social media accounts, Sarah looks confused. “No. I would feel lost.”
