阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

A 15­year­old boy planned to put a ball covered with petrol into his mouth and set it on fire. He would film the dangerous action and put it on YouTube. And, he hoped to become famous on the Internet. But things didn't go the way he imagined. His clothing caught fire, and he was rushed to the hospital with serious burns on his body.

YouTube hosts millions of videos of people attempting dangerous actions. Many of them are by kids and young adults. Some experts say that by hosting these videos, YouTube encourages young viewers to take deadly risks. Research by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shows that more than 180000 Americans die from accidental injuries each year. That's one person every three minutes. More than 14000 of those killed are kids under the age of 19. Is YouTube to blame?

People have always found it interesting to watch others try risky things. Audiences are mad about these kinds of things. Some of the earliest Greek comedies had characters followed by wild animals and knocking into walls. Now, in the age of the Internet, anyone with a camera and a YouTube account can create this kind of fun. Many viewers, especially teenagers, are influenced by what they see and want to try it themselves. “YouTube has taken the playing in the neighborhood to a worldwide level,” says Clair Mellenthin, a researcher from the Centers.

Supporters of YouTube argue that it isn't YouTube's responsibility to examine its content. “Parents should be the ones to make sure that kids are behaving safely,” they say. In fact, YouTube has a rule on content. For example, dangerous activities that have a risk of serious physical harm or death are not allowed. Staff of YouTube, carefully watch the website 24 hours a day, looking for videos that are against their rules. But is this enough?

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

Possible version 1: Millions of people, some of whom are teenagers, are attempting dangerous actions and put them on YouTube, which makes people believe YouTube should answer for such tragedies. The fact is that people, whether ancient or modern, love watching others try risky or deadly things. Therefore, not only YouTube but also parents and teenage viewers themselves should be responsible for their monitoring and behaviors. Possible version 2: Filming dangerous actions and posting them on YouTube is being widely spread nowadays among millions of people, mostly teenagers. Although one person dies from accidental injuries every three minutes, “fun” seekers or “fun” makers have been trying something dangerous and exciting. Despite being equipped with content examination and strict regulations against dangerous activities, YouTube lacks enough careful control over itself. 【解析】 本文是一篇议论文。很多人玩冒险并拍摄视频上传至YouTube,有的人甚至冒着生命的危险。这种危险的举动, 是YouTube应该负责任还是父母对小孩的监管不到位之责? 对短文内容提取要点 :第一段通过一个15岁少年口含火球拍动作片的例子,引出话题;第二段指出YouTube鼓励青少年去冒生命危险,并列出具体数据证明很多人因此失去生命。最后提出问题Is YouTube to blame?;第三段的主题句是Many viewers, especially teenagers, are influenced by what they see and want to try it themselves,可概述为 people love watching others trying risky or deadly things and even trying themselves;第四段提出观点 Supporters of YouTube argue that it isn't YouTube's responsibility to examine its content. “Parents should be the ones to make sure that kids are behaving safely。YouTube的支持者认为不是YouTube的责任要检查视频内容,父母应该监管孩子的安全,可概述为not only YouTube but also parents should be responsible for monitoring their children。

    When was the last time you saw some dolphins at an aquarium? Was it fun to watch? Do you think the dolphins enjoyed it? A new film shows just exactly where some of these dolphins come from. And it isn't pleasant.

The Cove is a documentary film with a lot of blood…dolphin blood. It's all about dolphin drive hunting, which is a method of hunting dolphins that fishermen use. They use boats to drive the dolphins into a bay or onto a beach. Once there, the dolphins are prevented from escaping and are then killed in the water with knives or spears.

The dolphins are mostly hunted for their meat, but some are captured and ended up in dolphinariums, including the world famous Sea World parks. This form of dolphin killing takes place in many places around the world. There are dolphin drive hunts in the Solomon Islands, Peru and the Faroe Islands.

The Cove focuses on a particular dolphin hunt near the town of Taiji in Japan.

Every year, more than 2,000 dolphins are driven into a cove near the town and killed. The documentary film is directed by former National Geographic photographer Louis Psihoyos, and was made secretly throughout 2007 using underwater microphones, and a hidden camera. Also appearing in the film is Ric O’ Barry, the director of saving Japan dolphins, and also a marine mammal expert. He trained dolphins for the popular 1960s TV series Flipper. He is praised for having started the dolphin entertainment industry but has spent most of his life fighting against it.

So what do the people of Taiji think about it? Many feel that they are being unfairly selected out. The town of Taiji has a 400-year history of whale and dolphin hunting and its fishermen only catch about 20% of Japan's yearly dolphin quota(份额).

Masashi Nishimura, manager of the Japan Fisheries Association's International section said,“ I don't think it's a big topic here,” he said, “as long as the killing is humane(人道的), dolphins are like other animals to us.”

But for many people, dolphins are special. They are clearly highly intelligent mammals and they often form strong bonds of friendship with humans. Primates such as chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans are all protected species. Should these levels of protection be extended to marine mammals too? Many believe they should.

1.Which of the following is not TRUE according to the passage?

A.Fishermen use boats to drive the dolphins into a bay.

B.There are dolphin drive hunts in the Solomon Island.

C.Underwater microphones were used to make the film.

D.All the dolphins caught in Japan are sold for meat.

2.What is Masashi Nishimura’s attitude towards the killings?

A.Cold. B.Regretful.

C.Unfair D.unsupportive

3.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

A.To introduce a documentary film The Cove.

B.To show how The Cove was made.

C.To encourage people to protect dolphins.

D.To describe what is happening to dolphins.
