It’s been two years when I joined the campus radio station. During this time, I had done several interviews. Every time I finish to writing an article, I am proud of myself for able to introduce my schoolmates to the things I’ve seen. It was difficult at times, but when I saw my stories publish in our school newspaper, you knew that it was something worth doing. My parents, teachers and schoolmates congratulated me on that I did. I felt happily when I shared a new story with them. The greatest thing about being the reporter is exchanging idea with others.

Up in the air—a history of ballooning
The first kind of air transportation was the balloon. People traveled by balloon one hundred years before there were planes or jet aircraft. Those early days of ballooning were exciting, but they were also risky. 1. However, the danger did not stop the balloonists.
The first real balloon flight was in France in 1783. Two French brothers made a balloon. 2.Hot air is lighter than cold air, so it goes up. The hot air balloon went up 1,000 feet in the sky.
3.They built a fire under the balloon to make the air hot. This made the balloon stay up in the air for a few hours. But their balloon was tied to the ground. So it could not go anywhere.
Soon balloonists tried longer flights. In 1785, an American and a Frenchman flew over the English Channel. They left England on a cold, clear January day. Halfway across, their balloon began to drop toward the water. They threw out some equipment and food to make the balloon lighter. The balloon continued to fall, so they threw out almost everything in the basket -even some of their clothes. 4.
During the nineteenth century, ballooning became a popular sport and balloons were also used by scientists to study the air and by armies in war time. After the airplane was invented, however, interest in balloons decreased dramatically. But some people today still like to go up in balloons. 5.What’s more, they have a wonderful view of the world below.
A.They filled a very large paper bag with hot air.
B.High up in the balloon basket, they find quiet.
C.Sometimes the balloons fell suddenly and sometimes they burned.
D.Back then, few people understood how they were able to fly so far.
E.Finally, after about three hours, they landed in France, cold but safe.
F.Balloon races and displays remain popular all over the world to this very day.
G.Later that same year, two other Frenchmen ascended in a basket under a balloon.
Algorithms (算法) affect nearly every part of a person's experience on the Internet. Search engines are most people' s entry to the Internet.If a person wants to find information about something, they usually start with a search bar.As soon as they start typing or choosing links,the algorithm starts gathering data about every choice users make and uses that data to try to find the websites or information that most directly relate to what the user is looking for.
The problem with algorithm is that they can limit the kinds of information people see,says MacMillan,a reading researcher with Project Information Literacy (能力). He argues this can be harmful to people's critical thinking and lead them to believe that only one point of view is correct.
Companies also pay to post advertisements for products that could relate to users' search data. For example,if you search for places to take a vacation,you will likely start to see ads for travel companies, flights or hotels.
Renee Hobbs, director of the Media Education Lab at the University of Rhode Island, however, argues that algorithms are not all bad. She says search engine algorithms can help you find what might be the most useful information faster. But she says it is in the interests of Internet companies to keep users on the Internet for as long as possible so they see more ads.
The current generation of young people grow up using the Internet and they are prone(易于遭受) to distrustful information.That is why schools must train students how to use the Internet more wisely in their Studies.It is the duty of education to keep students informed about the world around them. Yet it is not the duty of education alone. And lawmakers should consider increasing data protection rules. Individuals can also use a wide variety of websites to avoid algorithmic controls.
1.How do algorithms affect users' Internet experience?
A.They lead to slower Internet connection.
B.They block ads for users automatically.
C.They always help users get reliable links.
D.They determine the content users receive.
2.What is Hobbs' attitude to algorithms?
A.Doubtful. B.Supportive.
C.Objective. D.Indifferent.
3.What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A.Young people fall victim to the Internet.
B.Data protection rules are already enough.
C.Education is fully responsible for algorithmic controls.
D.Joint efforts are needed to handle algorithmic controls.
4.Which column of a magazine is the text most likely from?
A.Science. B.Entertainment.
C.Advertisement. D.Fashion.
