(2023河北石家庄高一第一次考试)
Programs that drive digital experiences today seem to turn to contents that are popular,and they are unable to tell facts from fictions (虚构的事).And due to the fact that anyone can post anything they want online,unconfirmed reports and irresponsible and unchecked contents are common in the online world.
The problem is so common that the British newspaper TheIndependent has a whole page contributed to news about fake (虚假的) news,along with Mashable’s social media and a growing number of others.
During the past days when most kids used textbooks that had been edited and reviewed responsibly before they were used,the need for students to check their sources was not great.Today,it’s different.Students use the Internet for research,and teachers and parents can’t keep them away from bad contents all the time.And they’re on their own as they get older.They have to master information literacy,the skills of recognizing bad information,identifying good information,and understanding the difference between the two.
There are people and organizations dealing with the problem and developing information for Internet searchers,both adults and children.The website of EncyclopediaBritannica (《大英百科全书》),for example,has provided Internet searchers with extra information at the top right of their results page.The move is intended to make people slow down and think twice before accepting search results as facts.
Fake news is here to stay.We all need to fight.We can start with awareness and a few rules:don’t make the web full of bad information;don’t spread or share information if you aren’t sure about it.And be mindful of how we use information;practice information literacy.And human curiosity is of great importance in this fight against misinformation.Curiosity drives learning and makes people question information.We need everyone to join in researching and questioning the truth.
