We would buy a newspaper to read about what was happening in the world, get the opinions of columnists on important issues of the day, and get information about how the economy was doing Although there were always bad newspapers with journalists who didn't really care if their reports were accurate as long as they got attention, there were also a lot of excellent, well-trained journalists. Good journalists have always tried to be accurate and truthful. But what about journalism in the digtal age? Can any of the media be fully trusted nowadays or not? The reduction in news organizations" budgets is one reason why the quality of many reports has been affected. Most digital newspaper have had to reduce their staff to stay in business, which means that they often no longer employ people to check how accurate a report it. So, the journalist writting the story may not have time to do a proper check, and he or she probably isn't paid to do one either. There is no doubt that this has an effect on the quality of the journalism we read nowadays. it isn't that news media or journalists want to lie to readers, but they can't afford to be as careful and accurate as they once were. News organizations are trying to remain profitable so that people can have food sources of information. However, because it's difficult to make money on digital news sites, they are less careful, which leads to readers losing trust in the site. If news media don't deal with this issue, then people will soon believe that all news sites only contain fake news, and we will lose an important part of our democracy - the right to know what governments and world leaders are doing. 32.

They appear to think that we can just build a spacecraft and levae, is this ever really going to be possible? Scientists have learned a lot about outer space and the universe in the past 50 years, since humans first began to travel into space and even managed to get a small spacecraft to travel as far as mars, to learn about the planet and see if it contains any life form doesn’t mean we are any closer to being able to move from our own planet and live in another part of our solar system. Even if we manage the difficult task of transporting a lot of people to another planet, how could we survive there? While we may develop the technology to survive outside our own planet one day, at the moment, that day seems a verly long road, we would need to produce our own air and water, as well as be able to grow food. How would we be able to produce medicines or machines we would need? Would we build factories in outer space? Then theres the issue of what our lives would be like without trees- nothing green. There would be no rivers, lakes, seas, or clouds in the sky. How could we be happy under those kinds of conditions it would probably be a very hard and lonely life living on another planet. So, it would be much better if instead of destroying the planet we already have, we work to make sure it will support life for millions of years into the future. 1. “Nobody believes its possible to live in another planet” a. True b. False c. Doesn’t say 2. “According to the text, there is life on mars” a. True b. False c. Doesn’t say 3. “Its unlikely that humans would be happier on another planet” a. True b. False c. Doesn’t say 4. “Unfortunately, there isn’t a better alternative than moving to another planet” a. True b. False c. Doesn’t say Reading 3 Animal rights There are so many people thinking of giving up meat these days? Is it wrong to kill animals for food? Should we be more concerned about how we treat animals ? These and many other questions about animal rights are becoming more and more common. A lot of peopie think that it's cruel not only to eat meat from animals but even to keep them to collect their milk, egg, or honey . Is this taking animal rights too far? Of course, it all depends on your point of view. There are some arguments to show that the way we treat farm animals on big industrial farms can cause the animals a lot of suffering. On the other hand, most developed countries have protection for animals to made sure that farms are not unnecessarily cruel, Are these laws good enough? There are also other issues to think about apart from farming. What about zoos? is it wrong to keep animals in captivity far from their natural habitats? One answer to that question is that we need zoos more than ever because so many many animals have lost their natural habitats and are in danger of disappearing completely. Zoos can help protect endangered species. Others argue that all zoo aninals are unhappy and that animals don´t breed well in captivity anyway. In addition, the use of animals in scientific experiments is even more difficult. On the one hand, you can argue that experimenting on animals has resulted in many medical discoveries. However, it's difficult to argue that testing products like makeup or perfume on animals iis acceptable. Sadly, many countries still use animals for product testing. Animals health, safety, and happiness are important issues, and people will probably discuss there for a long time to come. “There are more vegetarians than before.” a. True b.
