Munish Bansal has amassed(积累)8,500 digital images of daughter Suman, 12, and her brother Jay, 10, since the day they were born. He has enough pictures to fill 600 albums and shows them on a website named “delightful kids”.  

Mr. Bansal, 36, an accountant from Gillingham, Kent: “It started when I took a picture of Suman on the day when she was born. I did the same the following day, and the day after, and the day after that. Before I knew it, she had turned one and I had 365 images. It seemed a shame to stop, so I kept going - and did the same when Jay came along.” Mr. Bansal, who lives with housewife Rita, 39, began the family album on the day Suman was born in 1996. With a digital camera, he takes the picture usually before school or during dinner.

The photographs capture her life from a baby and toddler, through to early school days and into her teens. They include important landmarks like walking, the day she spoke, her first words and the beginning of school. He did the same with her younger brother Jay who was born two years later.

Mr. Bansal admits both Suman and Jay are “quite embarrassed” about the website - and their father. Suman, who turns 13 tomorrow, said: “It's interesting because when I look at the baby photos I don't recognize myself - but I'm not planning on letting Dad do this for ever.” Mr. Bansal has said he will continue until they are old enough to leave home. “As they get older, Sunam and Jay have become quite embarrassed about what I'm doing,” he said. “But I hope that one day both of them will appreciate what I’ve done, and look back on their childhoods with happy memories.”

March 16th is World Sleep Day. This year’s slogan (标语) is “Breathe Easily, Sleep Well”. Its aim is to celebrate the benefits (好处) of good and healthy sleep.

Sleep is like food for the brain. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. According to the National Sleep Foundation in the US, adults need seven to nine hours of sleep every night. For students aged 10 to 17, a healthy amount is about eight to nine hours per night.

But many students don’t get enough sleep because of early school start times and heavy homework. About 80 percent of middle school students don’t get enough sleep, the China Youth and Children Research Center reported. For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keep worrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly. For others, they may even have insomnia which might keep them awake all night.

These sleeping problems greatly affect people’s lives. Experts have shown that lack of sleep for teenagers leads to poor grades. Students without enough sleep cannot pay attention in class or do well in sports. Also, the lack of sleep may make them depressed (沮丧的).

Luckily, with good sleep habits, it is easier to fall asleep. Some of these good habits include avoiding drinks that make people excited late in the day, going to sleep at the same time each night, and sleeping in a comfortable place that is dark, quiet, and neither too warm nor too cold.

问答题

(一)阅读下文,完成1—6题。(18分)受众的新闻素养:能力和意愿①新闻作为一种媒体信息,本应有助于人们了解事情的真相,如信息论的提出者香农就曾把信息定义为“不确定性的消除”,然而信息也会增加人们对真相认识的不确定性。尤其在这个信息爆炸的时代,如何摆脱这种困境?除了优化信息环境外,更现实的途径是提高受众的新闻素养。②在信息时代,批判性地解读和使用媒体信息应是社会成员的基本技能。为什么在今天要特别强调受众的“新闻素养”?这是由新闻的性质和当今新闻的发展趋势决定的。新闻是帮助公民自治的必要信息,和其他出于私人利益或兴趣而获得的信息不同,它关乎社会群体的公共利益,最终会影响私人生活。而随着信息技术的发展、商业文化的介入、新闻发布门槛的降低,新闻与评论、娱乐、宣传的界线不再像从前那样清晰,“准新闻”甚至“伪新闻”层出不穷。③新闻受众应该提高自己的新闻辨别能力,对不同来源的信息设置不同的警惕值,这样才能使自己变得明智。如何批判性地解读新闻?受众可以从以下几个方面加以考虑:1、报道有无确切的来源?来源可靠吗?2、报道的内容完整吗?是否包含事件的时间、地点、人物、原因、经过等要素?假如不完整,原因是什么?3、报道者提供了什么证据?这些证据是怎样检验或核实的?4、这则新闻除了报道事件外,是否还有其他意图?④有人认为受众都是愿意看到真相的,他们欠缺的仅仅是辨别能力,然而现实中相当多的受众首先欠缺的是寻求事实真相的意愿。如果说从前的新闻受众在接收信息上缺乏自由的话,那么现在的新闻受众更多是被诱惑,把有限的时间用于关注娱乐新闻,而最危险的是在被抑制和被诱导中养成的对事实真相无所谓的态度,要么是“你知道了真相又能怎样”,要么是“根本就没有真相,一切都是阴谋”。前者导致老于世故地配合做戏,后者导致愤世嫉俗、拒绝相信一切。⑤还有一些人尽管有寻求事实真相的意愿,却习惯于把常识当成真相,或者以常识为标准来判断事件是否真实。□⑥我们生活的时代,受众越来越多地拥有制作和发布新闻的机会,所以,仅仅强调受众解读新闻的能力和追求真相的意愿其实是不够的,还应该提高受众参与新闻生产的能力,提高他们所生产的新闻的质量。从新闻业的发展来看,无论对新闻受众还是对新闻工作者,这可能都有更大的价值。
