A new survey by Harvard University finds more than two-thirds of young Americans disapprove of President Trump's use of Twitter. The implication is that Millennials prefer news from the White House to be filtered through other source, not a president's social media platform.

Most Americans rely on social media to check daily headlines. Yet as distrust has risen toward all media, people may be starting to beef up their media literacy skills. Such a trend is badly needed. During the 2016

presidential campaign, nearly a quarter of web content shared by Twitter users in the politically critical state of Michigan was fake news, according to the University of Oxford. And a survey conducted for BuzzFeed News found 44 percent of Facebook users rarely or never trust news from the media giant.

Young people who are digital natives are indeed becoming more skillful at separating fact from fiction in cyberspace. A Knight

Foundation focus-group survey of young people between ages 14 and 24 found they use \trust\to verify stories. They cross-check sources and prefer news from different perspectives—especially those that are open about any bias. \young people assume a great deal of personal responsibility for educating themselves and actively seeking out opposing viewpoints,\

Such active research can have another effect. A 2014 survey conducted in Australia, Britain, and the United States by the University of Wisconsin-Madison found that young people's reliance on social media led to greater political engagement.

Social media allows users to experience news events more intimately and immediately while also permitting them to re-share news as a projection of their values and interests. This forces users to be more conscious of their role in passing along information. A survey by Barna research group found the top reason given by Americans for the fake news phenomenon is \mistakes in reporting. About a third say the problem of fake news lies in \or exaggeration of actual news\via social media. In other words, the choice to share news on social media may be the heart of the issue. \indicates there is a real personal responsibility in counteracting this problem,\

Group.

So when young people are critical of an over-tweeting president, they reveal a mental discipline in thinking skills—and in their choices on when to share on social media.

26. According to the Paragraphs 1 and 2, many young Americans cast doubts on ________.

A. the justification of the news-filtering practice B. people's preference for social media platforms C. the administration’s ability to handle information D. social media was a reliable source of news

27. The phrase \A. sharpen B. define C. boast D. share

28. According to the knight foundation survey, young people ________. A. tend to voice their opinions in cyberspace B. verify news by referring to diverse resources C. have a strong sense of responsibility D. like to exchange views on \

29. The Barna survey found that a main cause for the fake news problem is ________.

Any fair-minded assessment of the dangers of the deal between Britain's National Health Service (NHS) and DeepMind must start by acknowledging that both sides mean well. DeepMind is one of the leading artificial intelligence (AI) companies in the world. The potential of this work applied to healthcare is very great, but it could also lead to further concentration of power in the tech giants. It is against that background that the information commissioner, Elizabeth Denham, has issued her damning verdict against the Royal Free hospital trust under the NHS, which handed
