With only a click of the mouse, rumors can be forwarded between microblogs very quickly． As an example, recently, perceptive netizens discovered mat some photos displayed on microblogs describing Beijng's June rainstorm had actually been fabricated．

Sina. com is one of the major internet portals in China with hundreds and thousands of users and a majority of celebrities and renowned citizens have their microblog accounts on this portal．As recently as six months ago, the website decided to establish a specialized team to verify rumors and provide accurate information for its users．Tan Chao is in charge of the team．

"Before I took the job, I usually couldn’t identify what information was real and what was fake．But during the rumor verification process, we discovered that a lof of information was false, including fake photos, fake news stories and rumors that had been spread through microblogs．"

It’s not just website portals which are taking on fact-checking rcsponsibunies, but also a number of civic-minded netizens, who recently set up a Rumor Verification Federation on Sina. com's microblog system to help netizens identify fake information online．

Dianzizheng is the team leader of the federation．He says they've publicized more than 150 pieces which refute rumors, which attracted more than 10 thousand visitors within two months "We live in an age of new media, so we can't use the old methods to verify rumors．We can't wait for the media to verify the facts with related administrative departments and then release a formal announcement．We can’t allow rumors to run rampant and then deal with it, we seed to fight rumors while they're spreading．I think that this is the best way to deal with rumors nowadays．"

Some experts say this demonstrates the advantages of the internet compared to other traditional media．The open platform allows information to be examined and clarified by netizens．But experts like Ding Wenguo, President of the Journalism and Communication College at the China University of Political Science and Law says this self-correction function of the internet is still quite limited．

"It’s still quite difficult to tell which information is true in such an open environment by just reading a number of different opinions on the same issue．This is something which we need to pay attention to．If society is deluged with too much false information, and it's allowed to spread in such a fast manner, then people will be suspicious of all kinds of information including important information from authorities．It also exacerbates problems relating to social communications and mutual-understanding, which in turn harms society as a whole．"

Experts suggest that the government should react more quickly in the internet age．Once a minor begins to spread, administrative departments should make announcements as early as possible to dispel rumors before they lead to bad outcomes．

Online clothes shoppers will be told exactly what size is best. for them using new software which combines with their web camera or smart phone to form a“3D tape measure”.

Scientists from Surrey University and design experts from the London College of Fashion are developing a program which can take precise (精確的) waist, hip, chest and other measurements from camera images.

Using the person’s height as a starting point，the software will be able to build up a 3D image and estimate their size at various different points on the body, based on their overall proportions.

The result will be a more accurate sizing guide than previous systems based on waist size or a “small／medium／large”scale, which rely on limited measurements and the buyer’s perception of their own body size.

Shoppers and retailers(零售商)who choose to sign up for the project could save millions of pounds a year in postage costs by removing the need to order multiple sizes of the same garment(服裝) and send back ill-fitting clothes, researchers claimed.

The project, sponsored by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council(EPSRC), is expected to be brought to market within two years.

After choosing an item, the shopper will activate the software, enter their height, stand in front of their webcam or smart phone in their underwear and take a photograph.

The software will not store or transmit the image to the internet, but will use it to judge the person’s dimensions at various points on their body.

Philip Delamore of the London College of Fashion said：“The potential benefits for the fashion industry and for shoppers are huge. Currently, it’s common for online shoppers to order two or three different sizes of the same item of clothing at the same time, as they’re unsure which one will fit best.”

1.What is the essential part of a 3D tape measure?

A．a(chǎn) software                             B．a(chǎn) webcam

C．a(chǎn) microphone                          D．a(chǎn) smart phone

2.What can we learn about the 3D tape measure?

A．It will store or transmit the image to the internet.

B．It is based on the buyer’s perception of their size.

C．It will be a co-working production.

D．It uses a person’s weight as a starting point.

3.Compared with the traditional sizing system, a 3D tape measure is_______.

A．quicker                               B．more precise

C．more beautiful                         D．more vivid

4.How can the 3D tape measure benefit online shoppers?

A．Online shoppers will get their ordered garment in time.

B．Online shoppers will get their ordered garment more quickly.

C．Online shoppers will get an ordered garment of high quality.

D．Online shoppers will get an ordered garment to their measure.

5.What is the right order for a shopper to form a 3D tape measure?

①to take a photo with a webcam

A．①②③④         B．②①③④          C．②③①④         D．②③④①

Several weeks ago, my friend advised us to sell some of our things which we will not use any more. I thought it was a good chance to  46  my 7-year-old son’s room and  47  some toys that were no longer suitable for him to play with. We  48  that all the money we got from selling the toys would be his money.
The night before the  49 , we loaded up the truck with toys and a little bike that was too  50  for him. In the yard he  51  the bike for the last time and then happily put it onto the truck. This little bike had at least two previous owners as far as we  52  . It wasn’t in the best  53  and was certainly not new, but the tires were  54  good.
We put a price of $10 on it, but it didn’t sell. So, after the sale was  55  , my friend put it on the sidewalk with a sign that  56  “FREE BIKE”. Within five minutes her doorbell rang. A little boy was   57  there. In poor English he asked whether the bike was  58  free. She said yes and that he could have it for  59  . He smiled, got on the bike and rode away.
Later that evening when I told my son how much money he had made at the sale, he was very  60  , shouting happily. He asked about a few of his things, wondering  61  they had been sold. When he asked about the bike, I told him about the little boy and that made him  62  . He was much happier than when I told him how much he had  63  . He was so happy to  64  that someone else would make good  65  of that little bike!
