Unit 9 Media

Exercises to the text

36

I. Answer the following questions:

1. The term mass media refers to the channels of communication (media) that exist to reach a large public audience (the mass of the population). Mass media includes newspapers, magazines, television, radio, and more recently, the Internet.

2. It informs people about events that they would otherwise know little about. Mass media communication is usually rapid, because the media will report an important event as quickly as possible after it happens. In fact, some television reporting is live; that is, the viewers can see the events as they happen. It is also transient; that is, the focus on one event doesn’t last long. This is captured in the expression “there is nothing as old as yesterday’s news”.

3. The mass media is an important part of life in the United States and most Americans are exposed to the media daily in the form of print, sound waves, and pictures.

4. One important function is entertainment. On television, in particular, the variety of entertainment programs is extensive, raging from soap operas, to comedy, to talk shows, to sports. Even advertising, where the main purpose is to sell things to the public, may sometimes be seen as entertainment.

5. A quick look through a television or radio guide will reveal many programs with an educational focus. These include documentaries on a wide range of topics such as animal behavior, geography, history, or art. They also include a wide variety of instructional programs such as cooking, home decorating, or investing. Some children’s programs are also educational, teaching children to count or recognize words, or introducing them to different societies and cultures.

6. The media can provide important community information in the form of warnings. For example, the media can warn of the danger of an approaching hurricane or tornado. There warnings provide up-to-the-minute information on the location of the bad weather and alert people to take the necessary precautions. Without such warnings there would be a greater danger of loss of life and property. Warnings may also be given for other hazards such as air or water pollution. Periodically, the media raises questions about water quality, suggesting that the water we drink is not safe.

7. Sometimes information contained in media is deliberately presented in such a way that it encourages us to believe certain things or to form certain opinions. This practice is referred to as propaganda. When we think of propaganda, we usually thing of political forces, but commercial interests may also use the media to propagandize. Advertisements, for example, encourage us to believe that certain products will change our lives in amazing ways. The media can also influence what we believe is possible. For example, 43 percent of Americans adults believe that UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) may be space vehicles from another planet, and most Americans think that alien visitors would be like E.T. from the movie by Steven Spielberg. TV and movies are likely to be responsible for these views.

8. The media influences how we spend our time and our money, what we get to see and hear about, and the way we understand those events. It helps to shape our beliefs, our opinions and our behaviors. II. Fill in the blanks with the right forms of the given words:

Unit 10 History

Exercises to the text

I. Answer the following questions:

1. In the Shang Dynasty (about 2000 BC), the earliest period we know much about, people in China worshipped a lot of different gods - weather gods and sky gods - and also a higher god who ruled over the other gods, called Shang-Ti.

2. People who lived during the Shang Dynasty also believed that their ancestors - their parents and grandparents - became like gods when they died, and that their ancestors wanted to be worshipped too, like gods. Each family worshipped their own ancestors.

3. Heaven also decided who would be the Emperor or Empress of China.

4. The emperor or empress could only rule as long as he or she had the Mandate of Heaven (as long as Heaven wanted him or her to rule). You knew when the emperor or empress had lost the Mandate of Heaven because he or she would then be overthrown by somebody else who would become the new emperor or empress.

5. Taoism holds that people should not try to get their way by force, but through compromise and using natural forces in their favor. It is partly a philosophy, and partly a religious faith.

6. Taoists believe that there is a universal force flowing through all living things, and that respecting that force is essential to a happy life.

7. If everyone just does what they are told, and what they are supposed to do, there won't be any fighting and nobody will be upset.

8. The other was Legalism (a kind of Confucianism), which believed that people were all basically bad, and needed to be kept in line by strict laws and harsh punishments in order to create order and peace. Legalism was very important in the way the Chin Dynasty worked (about 220 BC).
