◆第一节阅读表达(共5小题；每小题3分,满分15分)

阅读下面短文,并根据短文后的要求答题(请注意问题后的字数要求)。

News affects us in many ways. It touches our hearts; it gives us inspiration(灵感); it enriches (充实)our emotions. News lets us know who we are. After all, it’s only human nature to react to things we hear, both good and bad.

Above all, news affects the way we think. Just one story can give out fear into millions of homes worldwide. It can lead to people becoming less trusting of strangers on the streets or those sitting next to them on airplanes and buses. Secondly, news affects the way we act. More than ever, people are locking their doors, almost making themselves prisoners in their own homes. The young and the old alike are taking self-defense classes _________ what to do in case of danger. And some young black boys run away at the first sight of the police —even when they haven’t done anything against the law.

Finally, news affects the way we react. We cry at the sight of the homeless or those affected by disasters, but smile at pictures of efforts to help people. We respond to all the news.

News, good or bad, is as much a part of our lives as the air we breathe. And, like the air, we take it in. But it’s how we let it out that really matters.
