Контрольная работа по теме "Средства Массовой Информации"( Учебное пособие Рейнбоу 9 класс, раздел 1 )

Test Unit 1 Var. 1

1. Read a text and decide which sentences are true and which are false.

The mass media play an important part in our lives. Newspapers, radio and TV inform us of what is going on in this world and give us wonderful possibilities for education, entertainment, and communication. They also influence the way we see the world. They can change our views.

Of course, not all newspapers, TV programmes, news presenters, radio commentators, or entertainers report events objectively all the time. However, there are many serious journalists and TV reporters who try to be as fair and professional as possible. They try to provide us with reliable information. Some people say that journalists are given too much freedom. They follow celebrities and print stories about them which can be untrue or half-true. You have probably heard of the “papparazi”; they are independent photographers who take pictures of athletes, entertainers, politicians, and other celebrities, typically while going about their life routines. The question is: should this be allowed?

One main source of news for millions of people is television. People like TV news because they can see everything with their own eyes. Still, others prefer the radio. It is good to listen to the radio while in the car, or in the open air, or while you are doing something around the house. Newspapers don’t react to events as quickly as TV does, but they usually provide us with extra details, comments and background information. The internet has recently become another important source of information. Its main advantage is that news appears on the screen as soon as things take place in real life and you don’t have to wait for news time on TV.
