三、阅读理解
We journalists live in a new age of storytelling, with many new multimedia tools. Many young people don't even realize it's new, For them, it's just normal.
This hit home for me as I was sitting with my 2-year-old grandson on a sofa over the Spring Festival holiday, I had brought a children's book to read. It had simple words and colorful pictures---a perfect match for his age.
Picture this : my grandson sits on my lap as I hold the book in front so he can see the pictures. As I read, he reaches out and pokes(戳)the page with his finger.
What's up with that? He just likes the pictures, I thought. Then I turned the page and continued. He poked the page even harder, I nearly dropped the book. I was confused: Is there something wrong with this kid?
Then I realized what was happening. He was actually a stranger to books. His father frequently amused the boy with a tablet computer which was loaded with colorful pictures that come alive when you poke them. He thought my storybook was like that.
Sorry, kid. This book is not part of your high-tech world. It's an outdated, lifeless thing. An antique, like your grandfather. Well, I may be old, but I'm not hopelessly challenged, digitally speaking. I edit video and produce audio. I use mobile payment. I've even built websites.
There's one notable gap in my new-media experience , however: I've spent little time in front of a camera, since I have a face made for radio. But that didn't stop China Daily from asking me last week to share a personal story for a video project about the integration of Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei province.
Anyway, Grandpa is now an Internet star-two minutes of fame! I promise not to let it go to my head. But I will make sure my 2-year-old grandson sees it on his tablet.
