Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your

answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the following
questions from 31 to 36.
Every time you're online, you are bombarded by pictures, articles, links and
videos trying to tell their story. Unfortunately, not all of these stories are true.
Sometimes they want you to click on another story or advertisement at their
own site, other times they want to upset people for political reasons. These
days it's so easy to share information. These stories circulate quickly, and the
result is ... fake news.
There is a range of fake news: from crazy stories which people easily recognise
to more subtle types of misinformation. Experts in media studies and online
psychology have been examining the fake news phenomenon. Read these tips,
and don't get fooled!
1. Check the source
Look at the website where the story comes from. Does it look real? Is the text
well written? Are there a variety of other stories or is it just one story? Fake
news websites often use addresses that sound like real newspapers, but don't
have many real stories about other topics. If you aren’t sure, click on the
'About' page and look for a clear description of the organisation.
2. Watch out for fake photos
Many fake news stories use images that are Photoshopped or taken from an
unrelated site. Sometimes, if you just look closely at an image, you can see if it
has been changed. Or use a tool like Google Reverse Image search. It will show
you if the same image has been used in other contexts.
3. Check the story is in other places
Look to see if the story you are reading is on other news sites that you know
and trust. If you do find it on many other sites, then it probably isn't fake
(although there are some exceptions), as many big news organisations try to
check their sources before they publish a story.
4. Look for other signs
There are other techniques that fake news uses. These include using ALL CAPS
and lots of ads that pop up when you click on a link. Also, think about how the
story makes you feel. If the news story makes you angry, it's probably
designed to make you angry.
If you know these things about online news, and can apply them in your
everyday life, then you have the control over what to read, what to believe and
most importantly what to share. If you find a news story that you know is fake,
the most important advice is: don't share it!
