Fewer people are using Facebook to discover and discuss news, as messaging apps such as WhatsApp gain 【小题1】(popular), a study has suggested.

The seventh annual Digital News Report said the fall in users reading news on Facebook reflected concerns 【小题2】 privacy.

The report sought to explore 【小题3】 people read news around the world.

The research, carried out by the University of Oxford’s Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism, was based on 【小题4】 online survey of 74,000 people in 37 countries.

It 【小题5】(suggest) young audiences were more likely to use WhatsApp, Instagram and Snapchat for news, partly because there was a 【小题6】(grow) desire to discuss news in relative privacy.

The number of those 【小题7】(survey) who read news via WhatsApp had tripled (增至三倍) in four years, to 15 percent. This tended to be much higher in 【小题8】(country) such as Malaysia and Turkey, where it can be dangerous to express views in more open networks.

The report’s lead author Nic Newman said, “We’re seeing many switching 【小题9】(they) focus to more personal, private spaces like messaging apps for sharing and discussing news. This gives people more control...but also 【小题10】(potential) makes public debate and news distribution even more complicated.”

From smooth conference calls in 【小题1】 crowded train station to live broadcasts of town hall meetings and lightning-quick downloads of high-resolution (高清晰的) movies, Shanghai’s superfast 5G network is turning technological dreams 【小题2】 reality.

The railway station’s 5G network, the result of teaming up with telecommunication equipment maker Huawei Technologies, 【小题6】(see) as a milestone in Shanghai’s commercial 5G arrangement to become a dual-gigaband city, with gigabit (千兆位) network speeds on mobile as well as fixed networks.

As the 5G era approaches, one of the key 【小题7】(concern) for telecom operators will be how they can use 5G networks to meet the needs of high-density areas with thousands of people simultaneously (同时) using the network to make phone calls, access the Internet and make mobile payments.

China Mobile’s Shanghai branch tapped Huawei’s 5G Digital Indoor System, which is 【小题8】(current) the industry’s only commercially available system for 5G indoor coverage. The product,【小题9】(develop) in Shanghai, is now ready for mass 【小题10】(deliver).

Joe is a digital native 【小题1】 has been using the internet since he was a child. 【小题2】 (surf) the internet is definitely a big part of his life. He thinks online shopping is so convenient 【小题3】 he can save much time and energy in daily life. But his parents hold different ideas. They keep telling me to go out with school friends, not just on social media.
