高中英语 Unit 4 Making the news Period One Warming Up

word - 1 - / 13 Unit 4 Making the news

The media are offering us a lot of good news，but it is now taking up too much

of our time.Many teenagers are spending so much time in using puters that it seems

puters are their whole life.Their life belongs to the media rather than themselves.

The media can prevent people getting in touch with the nature.They understand

the outside world by surfing the Internet and watching TV.Except for that，more and

more people are having cellphones which can help them obtain information they

want.Because of the information technology，less people choose laggard(落后的)

information tools，such as newspapers and books.For them it is easy to understand

the world by media.What is more，in such a busy world，most people cannot pay much

attention to what they are doing.The people who lived several scores ago did not have

any media as we have today.However，they invented the puters，televisions，movies

and other tools for entertainment for the modern people.There is no doubt that the

reason they did that is to make the life of modern people happy.Unfortunately，as

an old saying goes，“One coin has two sides.〞People have been being losing themselves

from the beginning of the prevailing(普遍的) of those things.A person may spend a

whole day in front of the puter，which makes him/her spend less time with others.So

please don’t lose yourself in the ocean of information and news.
