THE NEW MEDIA
News media are the means or methods by which people learn what is happening in the city, in the country, and in the world. The news media can be classified two general categories: the categories of print media and electronic media. Print media uses written material to communicate information to readers. Electronic media use airwaves to send into homes, offices and public places. Print media are usually divided into magazines and newspapers. Most newspapers print news daily. Electronic media are generally divided into radio and television. Radio news is the one you listen to. In the United States, for example, many radio stations broadcast five minutes of news every hour. Television news is the one that you not only listen to but also watch. In Canada and the United States, for example, many people spend an hour watching the news on TV in the evening.
In the future, new categories of media will develop. Today computers are beginning to the transmission and reception of news. This has led to the rise of online media, where news is constantly available on websites and mobile applications. People can now access reports and even participate by commenting on stories, making news more interactive than ever before.
Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.
Marriage is an ancient religious and legal practice celebrated around the world. However, wedding customs vary from country to country.
The Wedding Dress: In many countries, it is customary for the bride to wear a white dress as a symbol of purity. The tradition of wearing a special white dress only for the wedding ceremony started around 150 years ago. Before that, most women could not afford to buy a dress that they would wear only once. Now, bridal dresses can be bought in a variety of styles.
The Wedding Rings: In many cultures, couples exchange rings, usually made of gold or silver and worn on the third finger of the left or right hand, during the marriage ceremony.
Flowers: Flowers play an important role in most weddings. Roses are said to be the flowers of love, and because they usually bloom in June, this has become the most popular month for weddings in many countries. After the wedding ceremony, in many countries, the bride throws her bouquet into a crowd of well-wishers - usually her single female friends. The person who catches this bouquet will be the next one to marry.
Gifts: In Chinese culture, wedding guests give gifts of money to the newlyweds in small red envelopes. Money is also an appropriate gift at Korean and Japanese weddings. In many Western countries, for example, in the UK, wedding guests give the bride and groom household items that they may need for their new home. In Russia, rather than receiving gifts, the bride and groom provide gifts to their guests instead.
With the continued internationalization of the modern world, wedding customs that originated in one part of the world are crossing national boundaries and have been incorporated into marriage ceremonies in other countries.
