Mass media are tools of communication.Mass media allow us to record and pass information rapidly to a large，scattered(分散的)audience.They extend our ability to talk to each other by helping us overcome barriers caused by time and space.

There are various ways in which mass media make daily life easier for us.

First,they inform and help us keep a watch on our world. They gather and pass on information we would be unlikely or unable to get on our own.

Second，mass media help us to arrange our time and life. What we talk about and what we think about are greatly influenced by the media.When people get together，they tend to talk about certain happenings in the newspapers or on TV.Because we are exposed(暴露)to different points of view through different kinds of media every day，we are able to evaluate(評價(jià))all sides of a certain issue.

Third,the media are used to persuade people. A good example is advertising through the media.Newspapers，magazines and TV are filled with all kinds of colorful，persuasive advertisements.Though many advertising may not say openly that they want you to buy a certain product，they describe their products in such a way that you may want to buy them.

Fourth,the media also entertain. All of the media make some efforts to entertain their audience.For instance，even though the newspaper is primarily a medium of information，it also contains entertainment features(特征)．Television，motion pictures，fiction books and some radio stations and magazines are devoted mainly to entertainment.It is estimated that in the future，the entertainment function of mass media will become even more important than it is now.

1.This passage mainly tells us ________.

A．something about the functions of mass media

B．something about the development of mass media

C．how media entertain us

D．the types of mass media

2.According to the passage，what are mass media?

When I was in seventh grade, I was a candy striper (護(hù)士助手) at a local hospital in my town. I volunteered about 30 to 40 hours a week during the summer. Most of the time I spent there was with Mr. Gillespie. He never has any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine, even though he responded with only an occasional squeeze (緊握) of my hand. Mr. Gillespie was in a coma (昏迷).

I left for a week for a vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie was gone. I didn’t have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might tell me he had died. So with many questions unanswered, I continued to volunteer there through my eighth-grade year.

Several years later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face. When I realized who it was, my eyes were filled with tears. He was alive! I got up the nerve to ask him if he was Mr. Gillespie, and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied yes. I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking to him in the hospital. His eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received. He began to tell me how, as he lay there comatose (昏睡的), he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an angel, who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie firmly believed that it was my voice and touch that had kept him alive. Then he told me about his life. We exchanged a hug, said our good-byes and went our separate ways.

Although I haven’t seen him since, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a difference between his life and his death. As importantly, he has made a great difference in my life. I will never forget him and what he did for me: He made me an angel.

Wherever she goes, Molly leaves her mark. Without saying a word, she speaks to people with her kind eyes. Even when she walks away, she leaves an impression. Molly's mark is a smile, stamped into the ground by the horseshoe at the bottom of her false leg．

A few years ago, Molly was badly attacked by a dog. The dog bit all four of Molly’s legs and left large cuts in her face. Molly's owner, Kate Harris, took her to an animal hospital. Doctors there were able to save Molly’s life, but soon one of her legs became very infected (感染).

At first, doctors thought Molly would have to be put to sleep. But Molly changed their minds. This pony, doctors noticed, shifted her weight, and rested her good leg from time to time. Doctors knew that Molly had amazing intelligence, and that she wanted to live.

Several doctors operated on Molly, and removed her infected leg. A false leg was made for her. The leg was a hollow cast with a pole at the bottom for balance. Doctors gave Molly a special horseshoe at the bottom of the leg. This horseshoe she had had a stamp of a smile face in it!

After the operation, Molly walked around on all four legs, as if nothing had ever happened to her! Now, with every step she takes, she stamps a smile in the dirt. But she leaves her mark in other ways, too.

Kaye Harris took Molly to the false leg center. There were children there who, like Molly, had artificial arms or legs. They were amazed to see a pony with a false leg.
