His love was tested one unusual afternoon.“Your sons been in an accident,” the lifeguard called my husband Mike in a hurry. “His eye was badly hurt by the point of his board.”Mike rushed our son to the hospital. He received 26 stitches(缝针) from the corner of his eye to the bridge of his nose.I drove to the hospital from my office and saw my son sitting there.“Daniel?”I questioned. I remember thinking the waves must have been terrible that day.“Hes been in an accident,but hes going to be fine,” Mike comforted me.“Its okay, Mom,” he said. “You dont know how to surf anyway. Ill be fine. The doctor said I can go back in the water in eight days.”Was he crazy? I wanted to tell him that he wasnt allowed to go near water again until he was 20. But instead, I controlled myself, hoping he would forget about surfing.For the next seven days, he kept pressing me to let him go back to the board.

Many of them have watched thousands of hours ofTV. Thats more time than they spend with teachers at school. And we havent yet considered the hours they spend using the Internet and reading newspapers.However, several studies have shown a serious problem: todays teenagers lack media literacy( 媒体素养). Inother words, they have difficultly critically thinking about the information they see. One study that was done onmiddle school students showed that more than 80 percent of them couldnt tell the difference between real stories and ads that looked like news.Standford professor Kevin John teaches a class called Media Effects. He tries to help his students learn medialiteracy. The professor gave an example that shows why media literacy is important. In the example, two news stations report a snowstorm. One focuses on( 关注) the terrible road conditions. The other focuses on kids playing inthe snow. “With a news story, news stations tell you what they feel are the important details(细节). These detailsmostly depend on the opinions of the news director,” said John. “A person who has media literacy would realize that each story is about one side at this time. There is more going on.”Some experts think school is the best place to teach media literacy.
