The first payment the defeated must make is to accept the victor39。 How can we end rumors? The answer is as simple as it is impossible: preventing people from municating. A more realistic response is equally difficult, although less than the first one. It is that we should be critical of the information we receive. We should ask ourselves if the source is reliable. Ask (if possible) the person you heard it from whether they also trust the information. We should also think about if the rumor benefits someone, and if that someone started the rumor. Normally rumors are oral messages: word of mouth. The paradox (自相矛盾) is that there is no evidence to support rumors, but the more people share it, the more they see it as true. To finish explaining rumors, we think that they follow certain very clear laws. Secrecy: The source is unknown. There is also a proven phenomenon that human beings usually forget the source of a message before they forget its content. Certainty: We hardly question rumors simply because of the mental effort involved. On the other hand, no one likes to doubt a person who convinces us that the information they spread is true. Change: It acts like a tree. New rumors branch out to fill in the gaps left by the first rumor.t enjoy being on the receiving end of one, since they usually don39。 ve all spread some. In more traditional times they shook entire families. Today, they travel differently because the way we share information has also changed.Rumors (謠言): we39。 【點評】本題考點涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和主旨大意兩個題型的考查，是一篇人生感悟類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確捕捉細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行推理，歸納，從而選出正確答案。 （4）考查主旨大意。這些照片幫助我理解了為什么。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。D.The world will never be peacefulB.Those pictures showed that people never worried about their future.（4）What is the best title of the article？ A.All those terrible things that worried the author actually didn39。The world was full of terrible things that could not be solved.B.D.Worried.B.Indifferent.s first reaction to his father39。What upset him is whether there is a future for the author39。s home.C.He was upset about which college for the author to go to.B.I believe that my generation will see better things, too that we will witness the time when AIDS is cured and cancer is defeated.
