Reading and Writing B

READING

Read the article about the spread of fake news. Five sentences have been removed. Which sentence (A–F) fits each gap (1–5)? There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. Why fake is faster In 2018, a study published by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology revealed that fake news travels faster and reaches more people than genuine news. The research team had decided to do the study in the early 2000s when many people were beginning to use social media as their main source of news. The official study started in 2006. During the study, the team followed the spread of 126,000 stories shared by three million people on social media over a period of eleven years. Each of the stories was carefully checked to determine whether it contained fake or genuine news. When the results of the study were published in the journal, Science, they showed several shocking facts. (----1----) In fact, real news stories were rarely shared further than 1,000 people, while the most popular fake news stories could reach up to 100,000. Secondly, the results showed that real news stories took around six times longer to reach readers than fake ones. Of the types of fake news available online, the most common subject matter was politics. Other fast-spreading topics included celebrity news, urban legends, science, terrorism, and natural disasters. The research also corrects a common media myth. (----2----) However, the findings of the

study suggest that it is in fact humans that are most likely to share fake news. The researchers had analysed the accounts they identified as bots and found that although they did spread fake news, they also shared true news at the same rate. This means they were not responsible for the speed and spread of fake news. But why are people more likely to share fake news? (----3----) In this age of social media, we are exposed to news 24/7 so we tend to almost switch off and stop listening to it unless it is really shocking or unexpected. There is a position of power associated with being the person who shares news that others have not heard before. It could be that people who post fake news want that power – regardless of whether the news they are spreading is true or not. The excitement attached to posting fake news and watching it go viral could be addictive. (----4----) It is human nature to share news and gossip about each other. The best gossip is full of dramatic detail. It has to be surprising at the very least, even shocking. Once people start sharing that fake news on social media, the last thing they, or their readers, are worried about is whether it is accurate or not. While fake news may be a source of entertainment for some, real news is genuinely important to society. According to journalists, a problem which is caused by fake news is that people don’t believe anything anymore. So, what can genuine news agencies do about fake news? Traditionally, newspapers competed to be the first to publish a good story. (----5----) They say that journalists should not try to compete with the speed of social media as it is a battle they can’t win. The priority now must be to remain honest and make sure the content of their story is 100% accurate before they publish it.

A There is a widespread belief that automated ‘bots’ are responsible for spreading most of the fake news on social media. B Psychologists have also compared the rapid spread of fake news with the more traditional habit of gossiping. C One theory is that it could be because fake news tends to be more attractive to readers and is therefore more likely to get a reaction from people. D But now media experts say it is more important than ever to publish news which is

correct and accurate

E When they looked at news content on several popular social media sites, they realized that a large proportion of the so-called ‘news’ stories seemed to be based on rumours, were incorrect, or had key facts missing. F Firstly, they found that people were 70% more likely to share or re-post false news stories than true ones. Reading total 10
