At the beginning of the 20th century, newspapers and radio broadcasts were the main ways to get information. 20世纪初，报纸和广播是获取信息的主要方式。
But nowadays, print media isn't read as it used to be. 但如今，印刷媒体的受众不像以前那么多了。
People are turning to the internet for the latest news instead. 人们转而通过互联网获取最新新闻。
In the past, people read news stories from newspapers at home with their morning cup of tea or coffee. 过去，人们早上在家，边喝茶或咖啡，边看报纸上的新闻报道。
In those days, news stories were researched and checked carefully before they were printed. 那时候，新闻报道在印刷前会经过仔细的调查和核实。
The newspapers were then sent to news stands or people's homes. 然后报纸会被送到报摊或者人们家里。
The events people read about in the morning papers might have happened several days before. 人们在早报上读到的事件可能已经发生好几天了。

This makes anyone a news reporter. 这让每个人都可以成为新闻记者。
With news flooding in from all sources, the facts may not be checked carefully by every news producer. 由于新闻从各个来源大量涌入，不是每个新闻制作者都会仔细核实事实。
That means whenever we read news stories from a non-official website, we need to ask ourselves whether they are true or not. 这意味着无论什么时候我们读非官方网站的新闻报道，都要问问自己这些内容是不是真的。
So be careful about what you read. 所以对你读到的内容要留心。

The cyberbully 网络施暴者
Some people like to post untrue stories or unkind words about someone online. 有些人喜欢在网上发布关于他人的不实消息或者恶意言论。
This is called cyberbullying. 这种行为叫做网络欺凌。
Just like bullies in real life, cyberbullies enjoy upsetting people behind the screen. 就和现实生活中的霸凌者一样，网络施暴者喜欢躲在屏幕后面让别人难过。
Cyberbullying can be a big problem. 网络欺凌会是个大问题。
It never stops — the internet is open 24 hours a day. 它永远不会停止——互联网一天 24 小时都开放。
Also, the information is stored forever and it could affect someone's future. 而且这些信息会被永久存储，可能会影响一个人的未来。
Cyberbullies aren't hard to find because they can't hide, but cyberbullying can be hard to deal with. 网络施暴者并不难找到，因为他们没法隐藏，但网络欺凌可能很难处理。
If it happens to you, report it to the police. 如果你遇到了这种事，要向警方报案。
The catfish 网络骗子

They do this to get attention or even money. 他们这么做是为了获取关注，甚至是骗取钱财。
They post pictures that aren't theirs and they use fake names. 他们发布不属于自己的照片，使用虚假的名字。
If your online friend won't meet you face to face or even through a video chat, 如果你的网友不愿意和你见面，
then they might not be the person they say they are. 甚至不愿意和你视频聊天，那他们可能不是自己所说的那个人。
Also, if they ask you for money or gifts, 另外，如果他们向你索要钱财或者礼物，
you should be aware that the person could be a catfish. 你要当心，这个人可能是网络骗子。
The troll 网络喷子
In fairy tales, a troll is an ugly, unkind creature that hides under bridges and waits to attack people. 在童话故事里，洞穴巨人是一种丑陋、凶恶的生物，躲在桥底下等着袭击路人。

Advertising: The Choice Is Yours 广告：选择权在你手中
From the moment you open your eyes in the morning, you can't escape adverts. 从你早上睁开眼睛的那一刻起，你就躲不开广告了。
They are everywhere. 它们无处不在。
Let's look at how they work. 我们来看看它们是怎么发挥作用的。
Repeated music on adverts 广告里反复播放的音乐
Beethoven once said that music could change the world, but I'm pretty sure he didn't mean the repeated music on adverts! 贝多芬曾经说过音乐可以改变世界，但我很确定他说的不是广告里反复播放的音乐！
This music gets stuck in your head, because that is exactly what it is designed to do. 这种音乐会留在你的脑海里挥之不去，因为它的设计目的正是如此。
The advertisers hope that, when you're out shopping, you'll remember the music from their adverts and choose their products. 广告商希望，当你出门购物时，你会想起他们广告里的音乐，然后选择他们的产品。
So the next time you are reaching for a product, stop and ask yourself if it's really the best choice. 所以下次你伸手去拿某件产品的时候，停下来问问自己这是不是真的是最好的选择。
Is it real? 这是真的吗？
We can only see and hear adverts, so how do advertisers make us think that something smells good? 我们只能看到和听到广告，那广告商是怎么让我们觉得某个东西闻起来很香的呢？
They create unreal worlds on our TV screens. 他们在我们的电视屏幕上创造出不真实的世界。
For example, if they want to sell us washing powder, they show someone sleeping in a bed surrounded by a field of flowers. 举个例子，如果他们想卖给我们洗衣粉，就会展示某个人睡在床上，床的周围是一片花海。
This makes us think of sweet smells. 这会让我们想到香甜的气味。
However, when you go to bed at night, you are not surrounded by flowers! 然而，你晚上上床睡觉的时候，身边可没有花围着你！
That's why you should make sure you don't just buy the product without smelling it first. 所以你要确保自己不会没先闻过产品就直接购买，原因就在这里。
Facts or opinions 事实还是观点
Adverts for everything from food and drink to digital goods tell us the facts about the product as well as the sellers' opinions. 从食品、饮料到数码产品，所有产品的广告既会告诉我们产品的实际情况，也会传达卖家的观点。
As buyers, we are often easily influenced by the opinions of the sellers and other buyers rather than the facts. 作为买家，我们往往很容易被卖家和其他买家的观点影响，而不是被事实影响。
The purpose of advertisements or 'adverts' is to sell products. 广告的目的是销售产品。
The sellers often make us believe their product is the best. 卖家经常会让我们相信他们的产品是最好的。
As buyers, we must ask ourselves if we really need this product or it is an impulse buy because of the advertising. 作为买家，我们必须问问自己，我们是真的需要这个产品，还是因为广告的影响一时冲动才想买。
In the end, advertising companies are only doing their job. 说到底，广告公司只是在做他们的本职工作。
Unfortunately, most of us get lost in a world of very clever adverts. 遗憾的是，我们大多数人都会迷失在这些设计得十分巧妙的广告世界里。
Next time before buying, take time to review the products' facts and be careful not to be tricked by the sellers' opinions. 下次购物前，花点时间看看产品的实际情况，注意不要被卖家的观点欺骗了。
To buy it or not, the choice is yours. 买还是不买，选择权在你手里。
Notes 笔记
1. get stuck 1. 摆脱不了，陷入
2. be surrounded by 2. 被某类人/某事物围住
3. impulse buy 3. 即兴购买
