IV. Reading comprehension 10%(每題兩分)   (1) Teenagers today are spending a great amount of time glued to their electronics.A survey in 2015 published by Common Sense Media found that American teenagersspend six and a half hours of screen time per day on social media and other activities likevideo games on average. In addition, another report from Pew Research Center found that24 percent of teenagers were reported being online constantly, and that 73 percent had asmartphone or more than one.   Unfortunately, more teens are also starting to get addicted to their phones and otherdevices, which is called “nomophobia”.   With all of this excessive phone use, a group of neuroscientists wanted to find out ifthe exposure is damaging neurological health, especially in children and teens whosebrains are still developing. The research team from Korea University in Seoul, SouthKorea, recently found that being addicted to smartphones creates a chemical imbalance inthe brain linked to depression and anxiety in young people. Accordingly, there is theconnection between extensive phone use and negative changes to the brain. No matterwhat age they are, we can start to think about how to break their reliance on phones andother electronics before they get too attached, or possibly even addicted. Here are some ways for us to start: ● Learn more about technology addiction and evaluate if they are struggling. ● Seek professional help so they can undergo cognitive behavioral therapy. ● Enforce tech use rules, such as putting gadgets away during dinner and homeworktime, and while driving. ● Remove ringtone from their phone so they are not constantly prompted to look at anew text or post as it arrives. ● Stop using electronics before bedtime, as this can disturb sleep patterns. ● Replace electronics with healthier activities like creative arts, meditating, exercise,and talking to people in person. Being mindful of teens’ tech habits will help them, and their brains, develop intoadulthood.
