Jeff Keith has only one leg. When he was 12 years old, Jeff had cancer. Doctors had to cut off most of his right leg. Everyday Jeff puts on an artificial leg. The leg is plastic. With the plastic leg Jeff can ski, ride a bicycle, swim, and play soccer. He can also run.

In the photo, Jeff is running with some young men. They have plastic legs, too. They are wearing special T-shirts. The T-shirts say, “Run, Jeff, Run. Jeff Keith Run Across America.”

When he was 22 years old, Jeff Keith ran across the United State, from the East Coast to the West Coast. He started running in Boston. Seven months later, he stopped running in Los Angeles. He ran 3,200 miles, that’s about 16 miles each day. Jeff wore out 36 pairs of running shoes and five plastic legs.

Jeff stopped in cities on the way to Los Angeles. In every city people gave Jeff money. The money was not for Jeff. It was for American Cancer Society. The American Cancer Society used the money to learn about cancer.

On the way to Los Angeles Jeff talked to people about cancer. He also talked about being disabled. Jeff is disabled, but he can do many things: he skis, swims, plays soccer, and runs. He finished college and is studying to be a lawyer. Jeff says, “People can do anything they want to do. I want people to know that. I am not only for disabled people. I ran for everyone!”

Reading newspapers has become an important part of everyday life. Some people read newspapers as the first thing to do in the morning. Others read newspapers as soon as they have free time during the day so that they can learn what is happening in the world.

Sometimes, we do not have enough time to read all the news carefully, so we just take a quick look at the front page. At other times, we may be in such a hurry that we only have a few minutes to look at the headlines of the passage.

Newspapers can be found everywhere in the world. We can get many different kinds of newspapers in big cities, but in some mountain villages we can see few newspapers.

Mass Media

The weather report, a story about the Pop stars and different cultures are examples of messages from the media(传媒). Examples of media are television, radio, newspapers and books and the telephone. The media that can reach many people at once are called mass media.

It is not difficult to think of other messages we receive through the mass media(大众传媒). Every day we get hundreds of them. Think about ads, for example. We see and hear these messages almost everywhere we go. Ads are important messages. Even though they sometimes make us feel rather angry, they help us know things well.

Most of us get more information from the media than from the classroom. Think, for a moment, about how you learn about news and events. Do you learn them from other people or the media? What about international news? What is the most important place of information for you? People who are asked this question usually answer, “Television.”

Think of all the messages you received today. Perhaps you read a newspaper during breakfast, or maybe you read ads on billboards(露天广告) on your way to school. Did you listen to a weather report or the sports news on the radio this morning? Now you are reading, and that’s to say you’re getting information through a very important medium of mass.

The mass media are important to us because they shape(影响) our decisions and opinions. Don’t you think so?

A. Ads are Important Messages from the Mass Media

B. Different Kinds of Messages One May Receive Each Day.

C. Television-A Rich Place of Information

D. What Mass Media is

E. Mass Media are important to people
