Do you find it hard to go through a day without updating your microblog(微博)?Do you feel out of the date if you are not chatting on QQ? For many teenagers around the world, social media has become a big part of their lives.They constantly tell us that communication has never been easier and that you can connect to friends with the click of a button.But is this a good thing? Yahoo reported that scientists have found that social networking sites are a way in which youngsters isolate themselves; they tend to use the Internet to avoid human contact and escape from real problems.And the study by Common Sense Media has confirmed this.According to the organization, many teenagers believe that using social media takes away the time they spend face to face with friends.One participant in the study said: “Technology and social networking have absorbed some of my close friendships,and they’ve reduced.I miss the times when we could just go,hang out and laugh.” The organization also reports that more than a third of US teenagers want to unplug(拔去插头) in order to avoid overexposure to negative information. The Washington Post reports that 90 percent of teenagers in the country say they have witnessed their peers being bullied on social networking sites.According to the newspaper, some teenagers present their “alter ego” on social media, engaging in conversations with more bravado(虚张声势;逞强) and taking more risks than they do in person. And some teenagers want to disconnect to enjoy being alone. One teenager said they disliked social media because sometimes being alone is important—“It’s nice to just sit back and relax with no possible way to communicate with anyone in any way.” Ⅰ.精彩词汇 1.isolate v.孤立 2.confirm v.确认 3.absorb v.吸收 4.hang out 闲逛 5.witness v.目击;见证 6.bully v.期负 Ⅱ.经典美句 I miss the times when we could just go, hang out and laugh.我怀念那些我们一起出去,闲逛,大笑的时光。 when引
