PART 5 COMPREHENSION TEST (12 questions)
Read the blog and choose the best answer for each question. (5 questions)
Hi, everyone! Have any of you experienced nasty comments on the internet from trolls in response to something you posted? I've been wondering for a while now why there are so many bullies on the Web, and I think I've found the answer. Bad behavior on the internet seems to be largely the result of people being allowed to post stuff without revealing their identity. [1]

I've done some research on this, and studies show that, when people are anonymous, they often behave in a bad way, worse than they would in person. For example, a study from the University of British Columbia found that 60% of online comments made by anonymous users were rude or negative. [2] In contrast, only 30% of comments from users who showed their real identity were negative. Being anonymous makes some people nastier, because they know that they can say mean things without facing any consequences.

[…] Research from the Cyberbullying Research Center indicates that about 34% of middle and high school students in the United States have been victims of cyberbullying. These experiences can lead to serious issues, like stress and loss of confidence and self-esteem. [3]

The internet is a place where people should be free to express themselves, but this freedom can lead to bad behavior if it's not used carefully. [4] There's a debate about how to find a good balance between allowing free speech and stopping harmful actions. Some experts think that making people less anonymous online could help reduce bad behavior. For example, a person might have to reveal their identity to the managers of the platform before being allowed to post, although they could remain anonymous while posting. I understand that many social media sites and websites are moving towards this approach. Then, if people complain about a post, the managers could warn the person, stop them from posting in future, or even reveal their identity to the police.

29. In paragraph 1, the writer says that ______________.
A. there are more bullies online than in normal social life
B. cyberbullying happens because everyone who posts is anonymous
C. people may behave badly online because they can keep their names secret

The history of the media is an exciting story about how we have been sharing information since the beginning of civilization and how it has been continuously developing throughout history. Here are some key moments in this development.

Around 1440, Johannes Gutenberg created the printing press, which was a major breakthrough in media history. This machine made it possible to print many books and newspapers quickly, spreading information to more people [1].

The first regular newspaper started in Strasbourg, in modern-day Germany, in 1605. It was published by Johann Carolus, and it marked the beginning of the newspaper industry, which is still a key part of media today [2].

A man called Samuel Morse invented the telegraph in 1837. This invention took advantage of the recent discovery of how to control electricity, and it allowed messages to be transmitted quickly over long distances, for example, between stations on a railway line or between police forces. People could reply immediately if they knew the code, which was also invented by Morse. In 1844, Morse sent the first message from Washington, D.C., to Baltimore, and that was the beginning of instant communication [3].

The Westinghouse Electric Company set up the first commercial radio station, KDKA, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Its first broadcast was made on November 2, 1920, and it was the result of the U.S. presidential election [4]. As the ownership of radios spread, the devices gradually became the most popular way to get news and entertainment, eventually reaching listeners all over the world.

Tim Berners-Lee, a British scientist, introduced the World Wide Web in 1991, changing the Internet from a tool for the army, navy, and air force, into a powerful way for everyone to share information, communicate, and do business. The Web made the internet easy for everyone to use, dramatically changing how we access media of nearly every type.
