There should be no doubt in anyone's mind that the influence of media is growing stronger and stronger as time passes.If you have noticed,the speed at which news travels around the world has become faster with the development and advancement in technology Media are actually influencing people in different ways.
Whether you admit it or not,watching movies and programs on the television or our laptop,ipad and other mobile devices as we relax takes us away into this different kingdom—that is,there are parts in our being that feels we are the ones in the movie and sometimes we even feel what they are feeling as we get caught in the emotional excitement.The effect of media does not stop when the movie or program ends.And this effect might just be the cause of behavioral changes in people.
With action films,children tend to follow the movie hero,engaging them to violent acts thinking that it is acceptable because his hero became successful in the end.There are cartoon programs that show acts of violence and dishonest acts against others.In return,children tend to copy the characters and think that cheating other people is a way to deal with their problems.They learn to transfer these ill behaviors to friends.
There are some television shows and movies that attempt to create an atmosphere to change the view of people towards social issues such as racial discrimjye.aiation.In the minds of other people,the effect can be for the better,but some unfortunately for the worse.
There had been instances in the past that young people drunk driving imitating their favorite actress.There was also a case where somebody set a subway ticket booth on fire because he saw it in his favorite film.These are just a few examples of the disturbing influence of media on people's behavior.
An explanation to these bad acts is that these people could not distinguish fantasy from reality.They get caught up in the kingdom of what they had been watching and the images and scenes become deeply rooted in their minds.
So the media is largely responsible for giving people false ideas and unhealthy pictures,which lead to misbehavior against other people,and can create a dangerous cycle among individuals as they attempt to do the same or even worse things to ojye.airs.The sad reality is,no one is tuning off their televisions or disconnecting from these influences.The only way programming of this sort will change is when people no longer buy into it,demand it,and watch it.

1.International students who stayed in the US as their classes moved online during the COVID may be forced to leave,following guidelines of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement published due to the pandemic(流行病).
"You know I don't want to put my family at risk,I don't want to put myself at risk to travel during a pandemic and go back to Pakistan,and even if I could delay the program for a year,it is not certain that I will get the visa again." said a Pakistani student.
Many students say they need to be in the US for more than attending cljye.ais.As a PhD student,the library is an extremely important resource for them,although it is because of COVED that those services have been closed,which means even this advantage is gone.
"You know more than 90% of the international students who were studying the US when COVID-19 hit and college campuses were closed have to remain in the US and this creates such trouble in their lives and such uncertainty that is unreasonable." said a lady from a university.
International students staving in the United States say the new ruling has disturbed their plans to return. "I know it is a fact that when it comes to rules,guidelines,laws and stuff like that,international students are sort of treated as low-level citizens.Even I can't even use the word "citizen" to begin with because that's what they make clear we are not."
The government said that the policy speaks for itself and that online coursework is not worth a visa.So far,not any sign of change has been within sight.As students are waiting for the policy to improve,their fall programming and their future remain in limbo.

2.Most of us spend our lives seeking the natural world.We go fishing,sit in the garden,have a picnic,live in the suburbs or go to the seaside.The most popular leisure activity in Britain is going for a walk.When joggers jog,they don't run on the streets.Every one of them tends to go to the park or the river.
But despite this,our children are growing up naturedeprived(剝奪).I spent my boyhood climbing trees.These days,children are robbed of the ancient freedom,due to problems like crime,traffic,the loss of the open space and strange new ideas about what is best for children,that is to say,things that can be bought,rather than things that can be found.
The truth is to be found elsewhere.A study in the US:families had moved to better housing and the children were assessed for ADHD—Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(注意力缺陷多動(dòng)癥).Those whose accommodation had more natural views showed an improvement of 19%;those who had the same improvement in material surroundings but no nice view improved just 4%.
ADHD is one of the great problems of modern childhood.One study after another indicates that contact with nature gives huge benefits to ADHD children.However,we spend money on drugs rather than on green places.
The life of old people is measurably better when they have access to nature.The increasing concern for the growing population of old people is in quality rather than quantity of years.And study after study finds that a garden is the single most important thing in finding that quality.Even problems with crime and aggressive behaviour are reduced when there is contact with the natural world.
We need the wild world.It is essential to our wellbeing,our health and our happiness.
(1)According to the author,people enjoy
A.jogging on the street
B.running in the gym
C.shopping in the supermarket
D.sitting in the garden
(2)From the second paragraph,we can see that
A.Children don't want to approach nature
B.children probably spend less time in nature nowadays
C.climbing trees will certainly do good to the children
D.children tend to be happier as a result of their material satisfaction
(3)In what way do people benefit from their contact with nature?
A.Children with ADHD can be cured.
B.Children's performance at school is greatly improved.
C.Problems with crime and violent behavior will easily be solved.
D.A garden nearby improves the quality of old people's life.
(4)what is the main idea of this passage?
A.Access to nature improves our life.
B.Nature treats children for ADHD.
C.Getting close to nature reduces crime.
D.Man can't live without natural areas.發(fā)布:2025/1/6 16:30:6組卷:0引用:1難度:0.5 -
3.It is widely believed that biodiversity(生物多樣性)is promoted to save species.But in reality species exist only as part of ecosystems and cannot survive unless their ecosystems are protected along with as much as possible of the diversity they contain.
Protecting habitats(棲息地)is important for keeping biodiversity.In 2003,over 102,000 habitats covering nearly 19 million square kilometres,or 11.5% of the world's land surface,were under some form of protection.Though this is a great improvement since 1962,when just 1,000 protected habitats were listed,it is still not considered enough to stop the ecocide that is endangering the world's biodiversity.
For a number of environmentalist,protecting the world's 25 biodiversity hotspots(熱點(diǎn)地區(qū))is critical to saving habitats and species.But many hotspots are endangered already,having lost up to three-quarters of their original plants.
The poor state of most biodiversity hotspots results directly from population growth and migration(遷移) into these areas.A study found that by the mid-1990s around 1.1 billion people lived in these hotspots.Moreover,the annual population growth rate in these areas was 1.8%,higher than the global average of 1.4%.The PAI report concluded that human-related environmental changes will continue to put pressure on hotspots.Therefore,keeping biodiversity requires paying close attention to population size.
Protecting hotspots is not simply a matter of putting up fences and employing guards.The best results are achieved when local people are educated about the value of wildlife,and actually gain a share of the benefits from eco-tourism.Only then do they have a chance to see the benefits of protecting hotpots.
(1)What can we infer from paragraph 1?
A.The loss of any species can affect humans.
B.Endangered species are paid more attention to by humans.
C.Species can still survive when their ecosystems are destroyed.
D.Ecosystem protection is as important as diversity protection.
(2)What does the underlined word "ecocide" in paragraph 2 mean?
A.Ecosystem protection.
B.Reduction of the number of species.
C.Serious damage to habitats.
D.Habitats protection.
(3)What's the direct cause of the terrible state of the hotspots?
A.Population growth in hotpots.
B.Migration out of these areas.
C.Global warming.
D.The global average population growth rate.
(4)What's the author's opinion on protecting the hotspots?
A.It's simple to carry out.
B.It leads to the increase of tourists.
C.It's closely connected with local people.
D.It suggests that the local people are well educated.發(fā)布:2025/1/6 16:30:6組卷:0引用:1難度:0.5
