A recent troubling study showed that "fake news" spread significantly faster, deeper and more broadly than the truth, and the effect is even more remarkable when regarding news as opposed to reporting on natural disasters, finance or science. So how can we encourage individuals to seek online content? Leading scholars are trying hard to deal with this question.
Processing new information requires a considerable mental effort, especially when that information seems to conflict with your worldview. It takes the to admit you may be wrong. But with a great amount of conflicting information available, who's to say what's actually true and what's false? If you can't tell, why not just make life easy and go with what supports your current beliefs?
So what do we have? Many suggest that we can the issue by reforming adult behavior, but this is aiming too far from source. An alternative solution is using early education to help individuals recognize these problems and critical thinking to the information they deal with. Currently, there is a push in the US to include Internet information classes into primary and secondary school curriculums. The movement, which has received some support, aims to make fact-checking seem like second to individuals at an early age.
Primary and secondary school are to be supplying students with the skills they need to develop into productive and informed members of our society. As our society develops, the curriculum we are teaching our students needs to develop as well.
The Internet is an amazing tool, but to use it most effectively we have to accept its benefits while also understanding the ways in which it makes us dangerously . If students are still learning the practices such as writing in school, shouldn't they be learning how to the Internet responsibly as well?

When I was 13, my journey in a great valley changed my attitude towards the recording of a travel. During the trip, I was busy recording every event, name and place I came across. I felt proud to {#blank#}1{#/blank#} my time, keeping a {#blank#}2{#/blank#}description of my travels. On my last night there, after I {#blank#}3{#/blank#} the tent, I went out with diary in hand. The sky was clear with the bright moon, and the walls of the valley looked frightening behind their curtains of shadows（阴影）. The beauty of nature at dusk {#blank#}4{#/blank#} my heart entirely. I took out my pen right away... At that moment, I understood that the beautiful scenery I saw {#blank#}5{#/blank#} was more meaningful than the tiring words that I had {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in my diary. Since then I have {#blank#}7{#/blank#} only to keep a special thought or feeling in my diary. The unforgettable moments I {#blank#}8{#/blank#} would be the sweet and lasting memories for my life.

As infants, we can recognize our mothers within hours of birth. In fact, we can recognize the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} of our mother's face well before we can recognize her body shape. It's {#blank#}2{#/blank#} how the brain can carry out such a function at such a young age, especially since we don't learn to walk and talk until we are over a year old. By the time we are adults, we have the ability to distinguish around 100,000 faces. How can we remember so many faces when many of us find it difficult to {#blank#}3{#/blank#} such a simple thing as a phone number? The exact process is not yet fully understood, but research around the world has begun to define the specific areas of the brain and processes {#blank#}4{#/blank#} for facial recognition.
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology believe that they have succeeded in {#blank#}5{#/blank#} a specific area of the brain called the fusiform face area (FFA), which is used only for facial recognition. This means that recognition of familiar objects such as our clothes or cars, is from {#blank#}6{#/blank#} in the brain. Researchers also have found that the brain needs to see the whole face for recognition to take place. It had been {#blank#}7{#/blank#} thought that we only needed to see certain facial features. Meanwhile, research at University College London has found that facial recognition is not a single process, but {#blank#}8{#/blank#} involves three steps. The first step appears to be an analysis of the physical features of a person's face, which is similar to how we scan the bar codes of our groceries. In the next step, the brain decides whether the face we are looking at is already known or unknown to us. And finally, the brain furnishes the information we have collected about the person whose face we are looking at. This complex {#blank#}9{#/blank#}is done in a split second so that we can behave quickly when reacting to certain situations.

The Internet has been found a new usage. Increasingly, more and more Americans are having a(an) {#blank#}1{#/blank#}to become their own doctors, by going online to order home health tests or medical devices, or even self-treat their illnesses with drugs from Internet pharmacies(药店). Some people{#blank#}2{#/blank#} doctors because of the high cost medical care, especially if they{#blank#}3{#/blank#} health insurance. Or they may{#blank#}4{#/blank#} to see a doctor because they find it embarrassing to discuss their weight, alcohol consumption or couch potato habits. Patients may also fear what they might learn about their health, or they distrust physicians because of {#blank#}5{#/blank#}in the past. But to become their own doctors can be{#blank#}6{#/blank#}.
Every day, more than six million American search the Internet for medical answers. Most of them have no{#blank#}7{#/blank#} about what they find. In 2002, a survey by the Pew Internet & American Life Project found that 72 percent of those surveyed believe all or most of what they read on health websites. Actually, most of such web sites are only interested in doing{#blank#}8{#/blank#} business. Of the 169 websites the researchers rated, only 16 scored as "high quality". Recent studies found faulty facts about all sorts of other disorders, causing one research team to {#blank#}9{#/blank#} that a large amount of incomplete, inaccurate and even dangerous information exists on the Internet.
The problem is that most people don't know the safe way to surf the web. "They use a search engine like Google, get 18 trillion choices and start clicking. But that's risky, because almost anybody can put up a site that looks {#blank#}10{#/blank#} , so it's hard to know National Cancer Institute.
