In the United States and in many {{U}}(51) {{/U}}
countries around the world, there are four main ways for people to be informed
{{U}}(52) {{/U}} developments in the news: Newspapers, magazines, and
{{U}}(53) {{/U}} or television news broadcasts. A person may use one, or
all, of these {{U}}(54) {{/U}} for information. Each source is
useful in its own way. Newspapers and magazines can give much
{{U}}(55) {{/U}} about a particular event. They may provide some history
of the event, some of its causes, some of its effects, or perhaps give an
opinion or point of view on a particular development. Radio and television can
help a person to be well-informed about what is {{U}}(56) {{/U}} each
day. It is also possible to listen to the radio or {{U}}(57) {{/U}} TV
and do something {{U}}(58) {{/U}} at the same time. Many people can
listen to the news {{U}}(59) {{/U}} their car radio while {{U}}(60)
{{/U}} somewhere. For the student of English {{U}}(61) {{/U}} a
foreign language, an English language newspaper may be the most helpful news
source {{U}}(62) {{/U}} will also give you practice in reading
English. Most daily English language newspapers are not very
hard to read. They are interesting and helpful in many ways. In some of them,
you may be able to find news about your native country. You will find news, and
information about important national and international political developments.
No matter what you are interested in, you can probably find something in the
newspaper about it. A story in the newspaper may help you {{U}}(63)
{{/U}} a problem. Other stories may be about good movies, concerts, or TV
shows. Usually, an English language newspaper has several
sections or parts. Each part of the newspaper {{U}}(64) {{/U}} stories
about different kinds of news. Some sections have a lot of advertisements which
may be helpful if you want to save money. By reading the {{U}}(65)
{{/U}}, you may find something you want on sale. Or you may find that two
stores are advertising the same thing, but at one store the {{U}}(66)
{{/U}} is lower. Other sections may have fewer advertisements or have only a
specific type of advertisement to interest the people who read that section of
the paper. The first section of the paper usually has the most
important {{U}}(67) {{/U}} in it. Important {{U}}(68) {{/U}} in
national and international government and politics will be mentioned in the
first section, and usually {{U}}(69) {{/U}} the first page. Other news
that is important to the people {{U}}(70) {{/U}} read the paper
will also be in the first section. For example, The New York Times usually has
stories about national and international news on the first page. There and on
the other pages of the first section, the Times also has news about New York
City and other nearby areas. This local news is important to many people who
read The New York Times.

We 3 the world not according to direct knowledge of reality, but according to mental models, which people often mistake 4 reality. For example, we all share a built-in mental model that the world is continuous, 5 our eyes tell us differently. This built-in mental model tells us what to "see" in a part of the eye that doesn''t 6 see anything. This "blind spot" model causes us to 7 made-up information (a continuation of surrounding patterns ) and 8 that if we look at a previously hidden spot, it will look like its 9 .
Not all mental models are built in; some we learn or 10 . For example, most people believe that the automobiles driving down the street will not turn 11 the sidewalk and hit pedestrians. If we believe 12 , we would act like 13 squirrels, always stopping to look around and proceeding 14 no automobiles were operating nearby.
We use mental models of our surroundings to perceive what we believe to be 15 and to predict what may happen. These mental models 16 to our surroundings--we have mental models of objects ,of the environment ,and of other people--and to our own capabilities and 17
All of our mental models are, unfortunately, approximations 18 in the lump of nervous tissue we call the brain. Sophisticated 19 the brain is, it is very small and simple compared with the 20 of the outside world.
