Ⅱ.阅读理解
As young people spend more time on computers, iPads and other TV sets, researchers are asking how all that screen time affects children’s and teenagers’ability to focus and learn — even drive cars.
An online research offers a new question: How is technology affecting their happiness and emotional development? The answer, from girls ages 8 to 12 having the online habits, is that those who say they spend amounts of time using multimedia describe themselves in ways that suggest they are less happy and less socially comfortable than other teenagers who say they spend less time on screens.
Among the key questions that the researchers were not able to answer is whether the heavy use of media was the cause for the relative unhappiness or whether girls who are less happy to begin with are drawn to heavy use of media, in fact coming to a virtual(虚拟)world. But the researchers assume that heavy use of media is a main factor to the social challenges of girls.
The reason, say the researchers, is that on a basic level, girls need to experience the full face-to-face communication, such as learning to read body language and facial expressions.
Lucy Gray, 45, who lives in Chicago, said her daughter, Julia, 13, has for several years been a heavy consumer of media — she watches movies on her laptop, has an iPad, iPhone and a Nintendo DS portable game machine. Ms. Gray said that Julia can have trouble getting on with other people especially adults in face-to-face interactions, but she is not ready to blame her daughter’s heavy use of technology.
In fact, she thinks that, on the whole, the technology has helped her daughter navigate(航行)the world socially. “She’d be missing out on an opportunity if she wasn’t connected.”she said.
1. What is the disadvantage of online habit for young girls?
A. They are more likely to cause car accidents.
B. They are less likely to be liked by teachers at school.
C. They may feel uncomfortable and unhappy in social life.
D. They may be cheated into doing something bad at school.
2. With heavy use of media girls may tend to be ______.
A. led into a world breaking away from the reality
B. inspired to devote themselves to learning science
C. directed to come to a world of happiness and luck
D. encouraged to face the challenges of the unhappy life
3. Girls may face more social challenges because they ______.
A. are not good at making friends online
B. lack real communication experience in general
C. are careless at seeing others’facial expressions
D. spend too much time studying at and after school
4. What will Mrs. Gray do with Julia’s heavy use of technology?
A. she will allow her to use her iPad and iPhone only
B. She will forbid her to use any kind of the media
C. She will allow her to use the media on weekends
D. She will allow her to use all the media as usual
