浙江省宁波市慈溪市观海卫镇初级中学2023-2024学年级九年级上学期英语期中试题
Picture this: You're searching the Internet and see a website with interesting articles. Some are news stories.Their goal is to share information. Others only look like news stories. They're actually advertisements, or ads.The goal of an ad is to get you to buy something. How do the reader tell the difference between a news story and an ad?
Back when I was growing up, it was easier. We got most of our information from newspapers. Big news stories appeared on the front page, and ads were boxed off(分隔) and clearly marked. But on the Internet, the two are often shown together. It can be hard to tell which is which.
That's why the research group I direct did a study. My research team showed kids the home page of a popular magazine. We asked them to tell us what was a news story and what was an ad.
Most were great at telling certain kinds of ads. "It has a coupon(优惠券) code, a big company logo, and the words 'limited time offer'," one student wrote about an ad on the site. So where did kids get stumped(难倒)？
Some ads seem similar to real news stories. They have headlines and have information. But they may also include the words "sponsored content". Sponsored means "paid for," and content refers to the information in the story. "Sponsored content" is a way of saying that something is an ad. Most kids in our study, even if they used the Internet often, didn't know this.
Something sponsored doesn't necessarily mean it's not true. It means someone paid money for it to appear. Companies pay so that readers will see their stories, buy their products, and like what the company stands for.
As a reader, you have a right to know who's behind the information you're consuming(消费). So, look for the phrase sponsored content. (And look carefully. Sometimes, it will be written in very small letters.) The Internet is a big sea of information. To use it well, we not only have to know how to swim but also how to avoid the sharks.
