Read an article about fake news. For questions 15 – 20, choose from the sentences (A – G) the one</p><p>that best fits each gap. There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use.</p><p>(Total: 3 points, 0.5 point each correct answer)</p><p>WHY FAKE NEWS ON SOCIAL MEDIA</p><p>TRAVELS FASTER THAN THE TRUTH</p><p>• False news is more novel than true news, and that may be why we share it much faster and more widely.</p><p>• Responses to false news include surprise, fear and disgust. True news tends to be met with sadness, joy,</p><p>anticipation, and trust.</p><p>• Humans are more likely than automated processes to be responsible for the spread of fake news.</p><p>These insights emerge from a study published in the journal Science. Researchers at MIT, interested in how</p><p>and why true and false news stories spread differently, used 126,000 stories that had been tweeted by 3</p><p>million people a total of 4.5 million times. Hopes are that the research helps to persuade more people that</p><p>fake news powered by social media is a serious threat to all democracies’ health. 15. _________</p><p>The researchers studied what they called “rumor cascades”. A cascade starts with a Twitter user making an</p><p>affirmation about a topic – with words, images, or links – and continues in an unbroken chain of retweets.</p><p>16. _________ False political news reached more people faster and went deeper into their networks than</p><p>any other category of false information.</p><p>17. _________ anger, fear, anticipation, trust, surprise, sadness, joy, and disgust. Are “bots” the main culprits</p><p>in spreading falsity? No – the researchers found, it’s humans.</p><p>Calling for more effort to identify the factors in human judgment that spread true and false news, the</p><p>research paper points to some obvious reasons to look deeper. 18. _________</p><p>Two features of this study are promising. First, artificial intelligence was successfully deployed to good effect.</p><p>Second, Twitter provided access to its data and shared its expertise. 19. _________</p><p>More honesty by the social media giants and greater collaboration by them with qualified partners in</p><p>dealing with the problem of fake news is essential. 20. _________ They find, check and disseminate news,</p><p>are well placed to assess veracity, attract masses of comments and discussion on social media platforms,</p><p>and have a clear incentive to maintain trust in their own contributions to democratic life.</p><p>Adapted from theguardian.uk</p><p>A. In response, researchers have offered to share their dataset, too.</p><p>B. The study found that “falsehood spread significantly farther, faster, deeper and more broadly than</p><p>truth in all categories of information”.</p><p>C. That is the reason why fake news get people’s attention.</p><p>D. False news can drive misallocation of resources during terror attacks and natural disasters, the</p><p>misalignment of business investments, and misinformed elections.</p><p>E. Apart from effects on elections and referendums, fake news in social media can assist hate speech</p><p>to turn into communal violence more quickly.</p><p>F. Traditional journalism organizations, for example, are potential partners.</p><p>G. The study compared the emotional content of replies to true and false rumors by using</p><p>hashtags and English words that associate with eight basic emotions:</p><p>4</p><p>AD</p><p>VA</p><p>N</p><p>C</p><p>ED</p><p>1</p><p>|</p><p>N</p><p>ew</p><p>C</p><p>N</p><p>A</p><p>G</p><p>ol</p><p>d</p><p>1</p><p>-</p><p>F</p><p>in</p><p>al</p><p>T</p><p>es</p><p>t</p><p>Listen to people talking in five different situations.
