听一分钟英文：Media-媒体

Where would we be without the media¹? How would we get information about the world? All of us are interested in the news. We all want to know what’s happening around the world. We switch² the TV on just to watch the news. It seems as though every train passenger has a newspaper. The journalists who bring us the news do a very important job. Many risk their lives to bring us the news from the world’s danger zones. Unfortunately, many reporters are killed while they are covering a war. The media make us feel we are part of the world. We become experts on other countries and on the big news stories. The media also bring us many unforgettable³ images, such as a man walking on the moon. Really, the media show us history as it happens.
