I never wanted a dog, but now I'm so glad I have one. About two years ago, my wife, Cathy, got a little dog with a face only a mother could love. We named her Gertie.

Gertie is the kind of dog that has to grow on you. So I dicided that the dog would be trained. This didn't quite go as planned. At 15 weeks old, she was nearly made to leave the Petsmart Training School. She spent every night lying in our bed-snoring (打鼾)so loudly that I hardly got a good night's sleep.

Then, about six months after she arrived, I felt that something in my heart was taking place, and I was unable to stop it. My behaviour(行为方式)began to change. I began to smile at people when passing them in a street. I returned(招手)from neighbours. I started calling my kids, and to my surprise, they started calling me. I even tried to speak to my grandchildren over the phone once. I even was glad to listen to laughter from a 10-month-old granddaughter. The point is that I was changing.

My wife and I both agree that it is Gertie who has changed my behaviour. Gertie is now nearly two years old and almost fully grown.I have come to like the pet little by little, though she is my wife's dog.

继19世纪的报刊和20世纪的广播、电视之后,1993年因特网开始向公众开放,1998年5月联合国新闻委员会正式提出“第四媒体”的概念。在我国,1998年年底网民达210万,除传统媒体如《人民日报》等纷纷上网办电子版外,新浪网、CHINABYTE等网站的新闻味越来越足,第四媒体正在崛起。专家预言,10年到20年内第四媒体的影响力将可能超过传统媒体。理由是,广播问世38年拥有5000万听众,电视则用了13年,因特网只用了4年。 因特网作为一种媒体,优势十分明显:跨越时空,全球一网,信息无限,时效更快;文、图、动画、声音等多种媒体合为一体;每个人可选择自己所需要的内容,发表意见,每一个新闻机构甚至个人都可以随时向全世界发布新闻。对于下个世纪的第四媒体,有的专家这样描述——这是一张个性化的报纸,它是一个带超薄型大平面显示版的移动式网络计算机,不仅有图文声情,甚至扩展到三维空间,它以我为中心,按照受众的需要进行信息项目自主选择、组织。有的专家称之为“我的报纸”。 现在,第四媒体还只是一个小弟弟。即使在美国它也还不能提供比印刷版更多、更快的东西。多数公司只因为这是一个潮流才不得不坚持,一些小报已经停办了电子版。调查表明,关于克林顿绯闻的“司塔尔报告”,只有22%的人是在网上了解到的。这说明因特网在现在的传播中并不占较大比例。有的专家认为,网络媒体现在所能做到的是为传统媒体争取远距离受众,提供交互式服务,满足共性前提下的个性要求。有的专家则认为第四媒体首先要做的,是为争取到生存所需关键数目的受众而努力。

对于第二段所强调的意思,概括恰当的一项是()。

A.第四媒体比传统媒体更能满足个性要求

B.第四媒体是21世纪起主导作用的传媒

C.因特网综合了传统媒体最主要的优点

D.因特网将全面影响21世纪的人类生活
