The UK’s next #givingtuesday, three days after the US celebrates Thanksgiving, is 
part of a new, fast-growing 1. _____________________ capturing the imagination 
of people and organizations here and around the world.
It started in the US in 2012 as a very simple idea: to add a day to the calendar 
directly after the 2. _____________________ frenzy of Black Friday and Cyber

the best way to get 3. _____________________. This year, for instance, they have

of 4. _____________________ people to give their time and money.

encouraging shoppers to give 5. _____________________, RBS employees will be

3. Read an article about fake news. For questions 15 – 20, choose from the sentences (A – G) the one 
that best fits each gap. There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. 
(Total: 3 points, 0.5 point each correct answer)
WHY FAKE NEWS ON SOCIAL MEDIA 
TRAVELS FASTER THAN THE TRUTH
• False news is more novel than true news, and that may be why we share it much faster and more widely.
• Responses to false news include surprise, fear and disgust. True news tends to be met with sadness, joy, 
anticipation, and trust. 
• Humans are more likely than automated processes to be responsible for the spread of fake news.
These insights emerge from a study published in the journal Science. Researchers at MIT, interested in how 
and why true and false news stories spread differently, used 126,000 stories that had been tweeted by 3 
million people a total of 4.5 million times. Hopes are that the research helps to persuade more people that 
fake news powered by social media is a serious threat to all democracies’ health. 15. _________
The researchers studied what they called “rumor cascades”. A cascade starts with a Twitter user making an 
affirmation about a topic – with words, images, or links – and continues in an unbroken chain of retweets. 
16. _________ False political news reached more people faster and went deeper into their networks than 
any other category of false information.
17. _________ anger, fear, anticipation, trust, surprise, sadness, joy, and disgust. Are “bots” the main culprits 
in spreading falsity? No – the researchers found, it’s humans.
Calling for more effort to identify the factors in human judgment that spread true and false news, the 
research paper points to some obvious reasons to look deeper. 18. _________
Two features of this study are promising. First, artificial intelligence was successfully deployed to good effect. 
Second, Twitter provided access to its data and shared its expertise. 19. _________
More honesty by the social media giants and greater collaboration by them with qualified partners in 
dealing with the problem of fake news is essential. 20. _________ They find, check and disseminate news, 
are well placed to assess veracity, attract masses of comments and discussion on social media platforms, 
and have a clear incentive to maintain trust in their own contributions to democratic life.
