Flying thrugh the skies f New Yrk with its tall buildings can be a real challenge fr birds migrating (迁徙) frm Central r Suth America t the
Arctic Circle during the spring and fall migratin seasns. Frtunately, mre and mre f them can reach their destinatin thanks t the help f kind
humans.
Prject Safe Flight is a prgram frm New Yrk City Audubn, a cmmunity that has been wrking t prtect birds in NYC fr ver 40 years. This
prject helps save injured birds that cllide (相撞) with the reflective glass s cmmn in many tall buildings.
Each time these vlunteers find a survivr, they take it t the Wild Bird Fund. Its purpse is t prvide medical care t native and passing migrant
wildlife s that they can be released (释放) back int the wild. Under their care, these feathered friends can rest, are prperly fed, and are als given the
medical treatment they need.
Once the patients feel better, they spend time with ther recvered birds until they becme healthy enugh t return t freedm. This takes place in
the spring, when they’re released in Central Park, r in the fall, when they’re released ut f twn t make sure that their path desn’t take them in

seasns.
Bright lights and reflective glass buildings attract and then befuddle birds because they lk thrugh them and they think they’re seeing the sky.
S the dBird database is key t making plicymakers learn mre clearly abut specific htspts (多事之地) and thus take preventive steps accrdingly t
prtect the lvely creatures. These include making sure that visual indicatrs (视觉指示器) are added t tall buildings, r that lights are turned ff at night.

Virtual reality is quickly becming the new technlgical frntier. Tech cmpanies everywhere seem t be racing t get their ft in the VR dr.
Hwever, virtual reality has a set f challenges and hurdles that it must vercme in rder t wrk well. It shuld be nted that VR is heavily dependent
n being very fast, very accurate and very gd-lking. If it isn’t, the viewer will feel mtin sick r discnnected frm the wrld that VR is trying t
create.
Nw that we can actually build VR headsets that begin t meet these requirements, we are seeing a rising interest in VR. As it rises, s des the
interest in creating new media t be experienced in using virtual reality. Jurnalism is a medium built n relevance. Jurnalists shuld always be finding
new ways t tell stries and deliver cntent. It is a gldmine fr strytelling. What better ways t tell a stry t smene than t put them right in the
center f it?
Virtual reality is a pwerful tl fr jurnalists. The cnsumer isn’t just reading r watching smething play ut; they’re experiencing it. The
immersive nature f VR allws fr peple t cnnect with the subject matter n a much deeper level than just reading abut it. The experience is
emtinal, speaking mre t ur instinct than ur intellect. The pssibilities fr strytelling here are legin, and any stryteller wanting t d smething
mre interesting than their peers shuld surely be cnsidering the sheer pwer f VR.
The questin f virtual reality, thugh, is nt hw pwerful it is. That is immediately apparent. The questin f VR is ne f viability and availability.
Telling stries must be easy t d, and access t thse stries must be readily available. This is the biggest challenge that VR faces. If the tls t tell a
stry with VR aren’t easy t pick up and learn, VR will fail. If VR technlgy isn’t bth tp-f-the-line and affrdable, VR will fail.

is pretty exclusive right nw. Despite that, he said he desn’t think the exclusivity f this technlgy will be a prblem in the lng run.
“I think it’s very prmising,” Hallaq said. “We’re seeing mre technlgy becme accessible, and mre peple having access t that
technlgy. Just lk at smartphnes.” Like radi, TV and the Internet befre it, virtual reality will change the way we tell stries.
【小题1】Why is VR cnsidered a pwerful tl fr jurnalism?
A．Because it is an exclusively new tl.
B．Because it is very pwerful and ppular.
C．Because peple can experience the stry in persn.
D．Because it is very fast, accurate and gd-lking.
【小题2】Accrding t the passage, what is the biggest challenge VR is facing?
A．Hw pwerful and interesting it can be.
B．Whether peple will have easy access t it.
C．Whether qualified VR headsets can be built.
D．What new ways peple will find t deliver cntent.
【小题3】What’s the authr’s attitude twards the future f VR technlgy?
A．Optimistic.
B．Neutral.
C．Pessimistic.
D．Cncerned.
【小题4】Which f the fllwing is the best title fr the passage?
A．The Wide Ppularity f Virtual Reality
B．The Future Develpment f Virtual Reality
C．Challenges and Hurdles f Virtual Reality
