Media and Current Events
The media can impact current events.As a graduate student at Berkeley in the 1960s,I remember experiencing the events related to the People's Park that were occurnng on campus.Some of these events were given national media coverage in the press and on TV.I found it interesting to compare my impressions of what was going on with perceptions obtained from the news media.I could begin to see events of that time feed on news coverage.This also provided me with some healthy insights into the distinctions between these realities.
Electronic media are having a greater impact on the people's lives every day.People gather more and more of their impressions from representations.Television and telephone communications are linking people to a global village,or what one writer calls the electronic city.Consider the information that television brings into your home every day.Consider also the contact you have with others simply by using telephone.These media extend your consciousness and your contact.For example,the video coverage of the 1989 San Francisco earth- quake focused on"live action"such as the fires or the rescue efforts.This gave the viewer the impression of total disaster.Television coverage of the Iraqi War also developed an immediacy.CNN reported events as they happened.This coverage was distributed worldwide.Although most people were far away from these events, they developed some perception of these realities.
In 1992,many people watched in horror as riots broke out on a sad Wednesday evening in Los Angeles, seemingly fed by video coverage from helicopters.This event was triggered by the verdict（裁定）in the Rodney King beating.We are now in an age where the public can have access to information that enables it to make its own judgments,and most people,who had seen the video of this beating,could not understand how the jury（陪审团）was able to acquit（宣布无罪）the policemen involved.Media coverage of events as they occur also provides powerful feedback that influences events.This can have harmful results,as it seemed on that Wednesday night in Los Angeles.By Friday night the public got to see Rodney King on television pleading,"Can we all get along?"By Saturday,television seemed to provide positive feedback as the Los Angeles riot turned out into a rally for peace.The television showed thousands of people marching with banners and cleaning tools.Because of that,many more people turned out to join the peaceful event they saw unfolding（展开）on television.The real healing , of course , will take much longer , but electronic media will continue to be a part of that process.

The 1992 Los Angeles riots broke out because______.
A:the jury acquitted the policemen who had beaten Rodney King
B:people can make their own judgements
C:video coverage from helicopters had made people angry
D:video coverage had provided powerful feedback

False Fear of Big Fish

Many people believe sharks（鳖鱼）are dangerous and will always try to hurt or even kill humane.
_________(46)A shark exhibition at the National Aquarium（水族馆）in Baltimore,Us,proves this. Visi-
'tors can touch young sharks, see their eggs develop and watch a dozen different species swim smoothly around
a huge tank.
Most people fail to realize that shark attacks don't happen very often.Humans are more likely to be
killed by lightning than by a shark．_____________（47)There,kids can learn,from an early age,not to fear
sharks.
"People fear what they don't know,"said Nancy Hotchkiss,an organizer of the exhibition."Sharks
have been around for 400 million years and they play an important role in the ocean's food chain.We want
people to discover that sharks are amazing animals that need our respect and protection．
___________(48)A study,published in January in the US magazine,Science;found that almost all recor-
ded shark species have fallen b夕half in the past S to 15 years.Thousands of sharks are hunted in Asia for
special foods, such as shark fin（鱼翅）soup. And many others get caught in nets , while fishermen are huntina
other fish. __________(49)"Some fishing methods are actually cleaning out the ocean for sharks,',said
Dave Schofield,the manager of the aquarium's ocean health programme._______________(50)

_________（46）
A:They can watch them develop inside their eggs and feel the skin of the older swimmers.
B:A shocking 100 million shark, are killed every year around the world by humans.
C:In fact,94 percent of the world's 400 species are harmless to humans.
D:It is a worrying situation and some areas have put mca、urco in place to protect these special fish.
E:And to make this point clear,the mu。cum has set up a special touching pool for children.
F:More than half of the sharks caught are smaller than I metre long.

Craig Rogers was sitting on his surfboard, scanning（审视）the distance for his next wave, when his board suddenly stopped moving._________(46)"I could have touched its eye with my elbow（肘部）,"says Craig. The shark had surfaced so quietly that he hadn't heard a thing.
In his horror and confusion,he waved his arms and accidentally cut two of his fingers on the shark's teeth.He then slid off the opposite side of his surfboard into the water. Then,with Craig in the water and blood flowing from his fingers,the five-meter-long shark simply swam away,_______(47)
Although sharks are often categorized as killers that hunt and eat as many humans as they can, this is actually inaccurate.Sharks very rarely kill humans.A person has a greater chance of being struck by lightning or drowning（淹死）in a bath than of being killed by a shark. Only 74 people have been reported killed by great whites in the last century.But great white sharks can reach six meters in length and weigh 2,200 kilograms or more.With frightening jaws that can hold up to
3,000 teeth arranged in several rows,they could very easily kill and eat a helpless human in the water.________(48)Shark researchers are trying to comprehend the reasons that allow people to escape without being eaten.
The most common explanation is that great whites don't see well._________(49)There is reason to doubt this,however. Recent information shows that great whites can actually see very well. Also,when attacking seals,great whites shoot up to the surface and bite with great force.When approaching humans,however,_________(50)They soon discover that humans are not a high一fat meal."They spit us out because we're too bony,"says Aidan Martin,director of Reef Quest Center for Shark Research.
Shark researchers like Martin hypothesize that great whites are actually curious animals that like to investigate things.It's possible that they use their bite not only to kill and eat,but also to gather information.Although such an experience is unlucky for people like Craig Rogers,when sharks bite surfboards or other objects or people,they are likely just trying to learn what they are.

_________（50）
A:disappearing into the water below.
B:Why is it,then,that most people survive attacks by great whites?
C:they most often move in slowly and bite less hard.
D:There is reason to doubt that great whites see well enough to attack humans.
E:It has been thought that they mistake people for the seals or sea lions which make up a large part of their diet.
F:He looked down and was terrified to see a great white shark biting the front of his board.
