现代网络时代：如何利用各种网络资源提升自己？

Enter any topic of interest into your favorite search engine and, voila, you have an enormous amount of information at your fingertips. What a great way to further your knowledge on an endless variety of subjects. But how do you know whether the information you’re reading is credible – or complete nonsense?

对任何一个你感兴趣的话题进行一下搜索吧，瞬间就会掌握大量这方面的信息。把自己的知识延展到不同的学科多棒呀！但怎么分辨你读的信息究竟是可信的还是无用的呢？

Check your sources. Find out who is publishing the information. Government agencies, universities or well-known publishing houses are generally trustworthy.

那就找一下源头，看看是谁发布了这个消息。政府机关、大学或知名出版社的都比较靠谱。

Check the publisher’s motivation. Keep in mind that many articles are simply advertisements for businesses that want to sell you something. And some sites are intended to push just one point of view.

再看看发布人的目的是什么。要记住有些文章仅仅是为了商业广告，想卖给你东西。有些是想给别人洗脑。
