Information has always been at the center of human communication. You may ask why. Well, communication between people contains giving and receiving information. The way we give and receive information today has experienced a revolution in the development of the mass media in the 20th century.

The first truly mass communication medium was the newspaper. For the first time in history, people could read about events in their country and from around the world every day. However, there were two problems with newspapers of that time. Firstly, newspapers were available only in large cities, for getting newspapers to the countryside was a difficult and time-consuming（耗時的） task. Secondly, newspapers weren’t always reliable, as there was a limited range of opinions.

Nowadays, we can choose from a wide variety of sources to get information. Television and the Internet have given us the chance to be informed about everything the minute it happens. Large numbers of radio and TV stations, satellite channels and millions of websites help people keep up with the latest news. People live in history and are part of it.

The media have come a long way in the last century and there is no doubt that we now live in the information age.  Whatever type of media we choose, it all comes down to the need for information. This will always be a basic need as long as communication is part of human nature.

Information is considered the center of human communication because ________.

A. human communication means information exchange

    B. human communication involves people’s participation

    C. information is now experiencing a revolution

    D. information helps people gather together

What was the historical contribution of the newspaper as a source of information?

    A. It made the mass communication truly develop.

    B. It helped the mass communication develop in cities.

    C. It kept people timely informed about home and world events.

If you are a recent social science graduate who has had to listen to jokes about unemployment from your computer major classmates, you may have had the last laugh. There are many advantages for the social science major because this high-tech “Information Age” demands people who are flexible and who have good communication skills.

There are many social science majors in large companies who fill important positions. For example, a number of research studies found that social science majors had achieved greater managerial success than those who had technical training or pre-professional courses. Studies show that social science majors are most suited for change, which is the leading feature (特點) of the kind of high speed, high-pressure, high-tech world we now live in.

Social science majors are not only experiencing success in their long-term company jobs, but they are also finding jobs more easily. A study showed that many companies had filled a large percentage of their entry-level positions with social science graduates. The study also showed that the most sought-after quality in a person who was looking for a job was communication skills, noted as “very important” by 92 percent of the companies. Social science majors have these skills, often without knowing how important they are. It is probably due to these skills that they have been offered a wide variety of positions.

Finally, although some social science majors may still find it more difficult than their technically trained classmates to land the first job, recent graduates report that they don’t regret their choice of study.

2. Compared with graduates of other subjects, social science graduates ______.

A. are likely to give others pressure                  B. are equally good at computer skills

C. are better able to deal with difficulties       D. are ready to change when situations change

3. Which of the following is true about the communication skill?

         A. Social science majors do not know they have had these skills.

         B. Many companies prefer to employ those with good communication skills.

         C. These skills have been considered very important by social science majors.

         D. Computer majors have been offered a wide variety of positions because of these skills.

4 According to the text, what has made it easy for social science graduates to find jobs?

A. Part-time work experience.                            B. Skills in expressing themselves.

C. Willingness to take low-paid jobs.               D. Readiness to gain high-tech knowledge.

5. The underlined word “l(fā)and” in the last paragraph probably means _______.

A. successfully get            B. lose regretfully    C. immediately start  D. keep for some time
