I did something wrong today.

While at the beach this afternoon, I met a boy called Bob. We talked a lot. He said that it was fun playing on the cliff（悬崖）. I told him that I was not allowed to go near that place. Mum and Dad had always told me it was dangerous to play there. He called me a coward（胆小鬼）. I wanted to prove to him that I was just as brave, so I agreed to go with him.

We wanted to make our way down to explore（探索） the area, so Bob started to climb down and I followed him. Unluckily, some rocks came down after us. One of them nearly hit my head. We could not get back up. We shouted and shouted for help, but for a long time no help came. I was really scared. I wanted to cry. Then, we heard some sounds. Someone had heard us. A woman tied a rope around herself while a man at the cliff top held the rope. She made her way down to save us.

My parents were relieved（宽慰的） that I was unhurt, but they were angry that I had done such a risky thing. I apologized and promised that I would not do anything like that again.

Fights at school sometimes happen. But how can you keep away from a fight? Here’s something you can do.

Be calm(冷静). Sometimes, you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson. But being angry can't solve problems. Neither can a fight. Instead, it may bring you more problems. In the school, everyone involved(卷入) in a fight will be punished, no matter who started it. There are winners in a fight.

Shout loudly. If you know someone is coming up behind you to attack, turn toward the person with your hands up in front of your body and loudly say “stop” before walking away. Loud voice can usually make the attacker calm down. If the person doesn’t stop, cry for help by calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.

____ Your friend may ask you to join in a fight. Learn to say no. Helping him fight is not really helpful to him. If you really want to give him a hand, try to ask him to give it up. Also, you can tell him if he gets involved in a fight, he may get hurt and be punished. Then, try to learn why he wants a fight and help him find a right way to deal with the problem.

23. The underlined word “attack” in Paragraph 3 means “____” in Chinese.

A．拥抱

B．攻击

C．阻止

D．吸引

24. Which of the following sentences can be put in the ____?

A．Face bravely.	B．Join in a fight.

These days, teens are heavily influenced by the media. Many of them have watched TV for thousands of hours. That’s more time than they spend with teachers at school. And we haven’t yet considered the hours they spend using the Internet or reading newspapers.

However, several studies have shown a serious problem: Today’s teens have no media literacy (媒体素养). In other words, they have difficulty critically (批判性地) thinking about the information they see. One study, which pays attention to middle school students, has found more than 80 percent of them can’t tell the difference between real news stories and ads that look like news.

Stanford professor Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects. He tries to help his students learn media literacy. The professor gives an example that shows why media literacy matters. In the example, two news stations report a snowstorm. One cares about the terrible road conditions. The other pays attention to kids playing in the snow. “With a news story, news stations tell you what they feel are the important details (细节). These details largely depend on the opinions of the news director,” said John. “A person who has media literacy would realize that each story is about one field at one point. There is more going on.”

Some experts think school is the best place to teach media literacy. Others believe everyone—from parents to news reporters—should help teens learn the skill.

As for the best time to start learning media literacy, many experts suggest being at the age of 12.

But some basic ideas can be taught even earlier. “It’s never too early to start learning media literacy,” said John.

27. Paragraph 2 mainly tells us teens ________.

A．don’t have media literacy today	B．don’t consider some information
C．have difficulty in studying well	D．can compare real news stories with ads

28. Kevin John explains the importance of media literacy by ________.

A．showing his own opinion	B．giving an example
C．showing a science study	D．telling a story

29. From the last paragraph, we can know that teens start learning media literacy ________.

A．only at the age of 12	B．the earlier, the better
C．when they go to school	D．after they learn basic skills

30. The passage probably comes from ________.

A．a public ad

B．a storybook

C．a novel

D．a newspaper
