Conversations With Journalists: An Invitation for Teenagers

Would your students be excited if your curriculum (课程) included this article?

What if part of the assignment were to tell The New York Times about their own experiences with the selected news topic, and to suggest ideas for further reporting on it? And what if Times reporters were to write back to the students?

If you like this idea, you’re in luck, because that’s how our new Conversations With Journalists feature will work.

Why We Are Doing This

As many as half of all teenagers now get their news from social media. They’re becoming more removed from the professionals on the ground who are covering current events, interviewing sources, fact-checking, photographing and editing. And with mis-and-disinformation, generative artificial intelligence and distrust in traditional media all on the rise, we believe it is more crucial than ever to help young people understand how journalism works and why it is important.

How the 14-Day Cycle Will Work

·Day 1: The Learning Network publishes a link to a Times article, along with a few open-ended discussion questions and guidelines for participating.

·Days 2-8: Students post their initial reactions and questions in the Learning Network comments section.

·Days 9-13: The journalist responds to students in the comments section using the “reporter reply” feature so that readers can easily see the response. Students then continue replying to both the journalist and to other students.

·Days 13-14: The journalist shares a brief reflection about the experience of conversing with students about the article.

Let Us Know What You Think

If you have a question or comment, post it here and we’ll respond to you.

1. Who is the text intended for?

A. Teenagers.

B. Journalists.

B. To give students insights into journalism.

C. To teach students how to fact-check news.

D. To encourage students to share their stories.

3. On which day(s) do students get a chance to ask journalists follow-up questions?

A.Day 1.

B.Days 2-8.

C.C. Days 9-13.

D. Days 13-14.

When I was a child I was often told what not to eat. “You don’t want to get fat” was on constant repeat throughout my childhood. It really messed up my relationship with food — something that took me years to overcome. Because of this, I’m careful not to connect what my kids weigh with their worth as people. I encourage my daughter to make healthy snack choices and often dissuade (劝阻) her from a second dessert. But one day when I heard her saying “I think I’m too fat,” my heart sank. It made me wonder if giving her advice on snacks was having an unintentionally negative impact. 

According to Charlotte Markey, a professor of psychology, food is one of the rare subjects where, as parents, saying less is more. “There are so many things in parenting that are good to talk through, but I’m not convinced that food is one of them,” she says. “It just creates some worries and insecurities in kids that aren’t necessarily healthy.”

Instead, she recommends applying a well-known concept among nutrition experts called the “Division of Responsibility,” where parents provide a variety of mostly healthy foods to their kids at fixed times, and the kids themselves decide what and how much they want to consume — even if that means occasionally eating more cookies than carrots. 

Allowing kids to eat what they want also exposes them to the natural consequences of their decisions. “When your child says, ‘My stomach hurts,’ you can say, ‘Well you had a lot of sugary foods and you might feel better if you made some other choices,’” says Markey. “Let them feel like they have some control over it.”

I’ve been trying out these strategies and I’ve found that when I’m less restrictive, they do make better decisions. “Feeding is a long game,” says Markey. “The food you have available makes a huge difference. Even if they don’t eat it, they’ re seeing it. And then all of a sudden it clicks.”

4. What can be inferred about the author from the first paragraph?

A. She is upset by her kids’ weight.

B. She is critical of the way she was fed.

C. She is interested in making food.

D. She is particular about what she eats.

5. Which of the following would Markey disapprove of?

A. Allowing kids to eat cookies occasionally.

B. Offering various foods to kids at fixed times.

C. Explaining to kids the risks of taking snacks.

D. Talking with kids about school at mealtimes.

6. What should kids do according to the “Division of Responsibility”?

A. Make diet decisions on their own.

B. Share their food with other kids.

C. Eat up what is provided for them.

D. Help their parents do the dishes.

7. What does the author think of the strategies she has been following?

A. Costly.

B. Complex.

C. Workable.

D. Contradictory.

C

The ancient ritual(仪式的) meaning of Stonehenge is still unknown, but researchers are one step closer to understanding how the famous stone circle was created.

The special stone lying flat at the center of Stonehenge was brought to the site in southern England from near the tip of northeast Scotland, researchers reported Wednesday in the journal Nature. It’s not clear whether the 5-meter stone was carried by boat or across land — a journey of more than 740 kilometers. For more than a hundred years, scientists believed that Stonehenge’s central sandstone — long called the “altar stone” — came from much closer Wales. But a study last year by some of the same researchers showed that the stone didn’t match the geology (地质) of Wales’ sandstone formations. The actual source (来源) of the stone remained unknown.

Although the team was not allowed to take the rocks from the site for the study, they studied the minerals (矿物质) in small pieces of rocks that were collected in past digs, some from as far back as the 1840s. They found a match in the sandstone formations of Orcadian Basin in northeast Scotland, a place that includes parts of the tip of the Scottish peninsula as well as the Orkney Islands. The difficult work of moving the stone such a long way shows a high level of teamwork and cultural connection between these two places of ancient Britain.

Stonehenge was built around 5,000 years ago, with stones forming different circles brought to the site at different times. The placement of stones allows for the sun to rise through a stone “window” during summer solstice. The ancient purpose of the altar stone — which lies flat at the heart of Stonehenge, now under other rocks — remains unknown to us.

Former research has shown cultural connections — such as similarities in pottery (陶器) styles — between the area around Stonehenge and Scotland’ s Orkney Islands. Other stones at Stonehenge came from western Wales. While Britain is full of other Neolithic stone circles, the thing that’s special about Stonehenge is the distance the stones traveled.

8. What is the researchers’ new finding about Stonehenge?

A. The ritual meaning Stonehenge has.

B. The place the altar stone came from.

C. The way the famous stone circle was created.

D. The reason why the altar stone was carried to England.

9. How did the researchers study the source of the altar stone?

A. By researching the geology of Wales.

B. By carrying away some rocks from the site.

C. By studying minerals in rock pieces collected in the past.

D. By comparing the stone with other stones in nearby places.

10. What can we learn about Stonehenge from the text?

A. It was built through great teamwork.

B. It still has an important ritual meaning now.

C. The stone lying at the center of it was carried by boat.

D. The circle has remained unchanged since it was created.

11. What is the best title for the text?

A. The Exact Source of the Altar Stone

B. A Journey of More Than 740 Kilometers

C. The Ancient Ritual Meaning of Stonehenge

D. Cultural Connections Between Two Places in Britain

D

In the real world, we believe humanoid robots (人形机器人) represent one of the most exciting emerging applications of generative AI (gen AI). Specifically, we see their potential to break through some of the most longstanding barriers to inclusion faced by people with disabilities sooner or later.

But there’s still a serious gap between these new technologies’ very real promise and their abilities to deliver. Through a survey, we are able to look at 5,042 responses specific to those who identify as having a disability or mental problems. Among these respondents, 39% feel annoyed by technology’s inability to accurately understand their intentions. That compares with 28% of non-disabled individuals. About half of persons with disabilities believe that technology places too much responsibility on them to adapt, rather than adapting to their specific requirements. This is the case, even though 52% of people with disabilities see the potential of gen AI to enhance their performance in areas like creativity, relationship building, and idea generation.

The major issue is a lack of inclusivity in the development of existing and emerging AI technologies. However, it’s not too late to course-correct. If ever there were a time to take the disability community’s slogan (口号), “Nothing about us without us,” to heart, now is that time.

For gen AI-powered tools to do what we expect and want them to do, they need to have flexible, customizable interaction capabilities. To have that, they need to reflect input from the broadest possible range of humanity. This means that designers should think of inclusivity as an essential design feature, rather than as an after-the-fact modification. Translated into practice, it means asking disabled people to bring their experiences and insights to bear when developing and examining applications of new technologies.

Euphonia, a project which aims at enhancing speech recognition for people with speech damage, offers an example of just this sort of training. Euphonia is now helping a former football player Tim Shaw regain his ability to communicate with others. It can interpret his directions and signal tasks accordingly. It can also “read back” what he tells it in a voice that is remarkably similar to the voice he once had, which is possible in part because it uses a large amount of Tim’s early voice s to train its tools.

In the past, people generally considered robots as a distinct tool created to help people. Now, we can begin to consider them more as an extension of a person. The key will be to close the gap between making an experience inclusive and designing an inclusive experience.

12. What can we infer from the survey in Paragraph 2?

A. Disabled people usually avoid using gen AI.

B. Non-disabled people have few gen AI problems.

C. Gen AI neglects idea generation of disabled people.

D. Gen AI is not user-friendly enough for disabled people.

13. The author quotes “nothing about us without us” to stress that ______.

A. users’ feedback on technologies often gets ignored

B. users’ requirements count in designing technologies

C.users’ advice boosts the development of technologies

D. users’ wishes reflect the improvement of technologies

14. What does the word “modification” underlined in Paragraph 4 probably mean?

A. Limitation.

B. Creation.

C. Adaptation.

D. Communication.

15. The author takes the example of Euphonia to show ______.

A. technology can communicate with disabled people

B. technology can enhance disabled people’s life quality

C. technology can examine inclusivity through interaction

D. technology can achieve inclusivity for disabled people

It is no secret that social media is harmful to everyone for many reasons: from general internet safety, to causing insecurities or becoming a major distraction. ____16____ Social media can have a large impact on people’s perspectives, opinions and the way they view the world — especially teenagers.

In recent years, social media creators have done a really effective job of creating algorithms (算法) that can keep track of what you engage with, and provide more content based on your preferences and interests. ____17____ Exposure to only one perspective in the long run can lead to what are called echo chambers, or situations in which one’s beliefs are constantly supported by the people around them, rather than hearing other opinions.

____18____ By only being exposed to people who agree with you, you are prevented from considering other perspectives, which perpetuates (使持续) close-minded attitudes. Since social media users are used to seeing content they agree with, the first opinion that they see on a new issue is the one they are most likely to agree with, despite not hearing opposing thoughts. ____19____

Recently, the term “chronically online takes” has resurfaced on social media. This concept refers to opinions that only seem to exist online, and lack the support of real world experience.

____20____ In fact, chronically online takes are problematic themselves, successfully weakening actual issues that should be called out.

A. This fails to show respect for your privacy.

B. This ensures that you continue using social media.

C. Usually, it takes the form of calling things problematic.

D. However, the negatives of social media go even deeper than that.

E. The key issue is that people are content with being told what to think.

F. The problem with echo chambers is that they discourage critical thinking.

G. Echo chambers increase social media users’ impatience and kills their creativity.
