Surfing the Internet for fun will make you a better employee, according to an Australian study.
The University of Melbourne study shows that people who use the Internet for their own reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not. Study author Brent Coker said, “Surfing the Internet at times helps increase an employee's attention.”
“People need to relax for a bit to get back their attention,” Coker said on the university's website. “Having a short break, such as a quick surfing of the Internet, helps the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total Internet attention for a day's work, and as a result, increases productivity (生产效率),” he said.
According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work surf the Internet for their own reasons during office hours. Among the most popular surfing activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos. “Firms spend a lot of money on software toblocktheir employees from watching videos, using social networking sites or shopping online,” said Coker. “That's not always a good idea.”
However, Coker said the study looked at people who surfed the Internet in moderation (适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office. “Those who spend too much time surfing the Internet will have a lower productivity than those without.” he said. 4. What does the University of Melbourne study mainlyshow? A. People who surf the Internet are good employees. B. Not everyone surfs the Internet for fun during office hours. C. The Internet is becoming more and more important in people's life.
D. Surfing the Internet for fun at times during office hours increases productivity.
5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage as one of the most popular surfing activities? A. Watching videos. B. Reading online news. C. Reading online novels. D. Playing online games.
6. The underlined word “block” in Paragraph 4 means “________”. A. stop B. organize C. protect D. separate
7. What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A. Those who never surf the Internet have the lowest productivity. B. Spending too much time surfing the Internet reduces productivity. C. Most people don't surf the Internet in moderation during office hours. D. People should spend as little time as possible surfing the Internet.
C
Happiness is not a warm phone, according to a new study exploring the link between young life satisfaction and screen time. The study was led by professor of psychology Jean M. Twenge at San Diego State University (SDSU).
To research this link, Twenge, along with colleagues Gabrielle Martin at SDSU and W. Keith Campbell at the University of Georgia, dealt with data from the Monitoring the Future (MtF) study, a nationally representative survey of more than a million U. S. 8th-, 10th-, and 12th-graders. The survey asked students questions about how often they spent time on their Phones, tablets and computers, as well as questions about their face-to-face social interactions and their overall happiness.
On average found that teens who spent more time in front of screen devices — playing computer games, using social media, texting and video chatting — were less happy than those who invested more time in non-screen activities like sports, reading newspapers and magazines, and face-to-face social interactions.
\"The key to digital media use and happiness is limited use,\" Twenge said. \"Aim to spend no more than two hours a day on digital media, and try to increase the amount of time you spend seeing friends face-to-face and exercising — two activities reliably linked to greater happiness.\"
Looking at historical trends from the same age groups since the 1990s, it's easy to find that the increase of screen devices over time happened at the same time as a general drop-off in reported happiness inU. S.teens. Specifically, young peopled life satisfaction and happiness declined sharply after 2012. That's the year when the percentage of Americans who owned a smartphone rose above 50 percent. By far the largest change in teens' lives between 2012 and 2016 was the increase in the amount of time they spent on digital media, and the following decline in in-person social activities and sleep. 8. Which method did Twenge's team use for the study? A. Calculating students' happiness. B. Asking students certain questions. C. Analyzing data from a survey.
D. Doing experiments on screen time.
9. How does the author develop the finding of the study in paragraph 3? A. By making a comparison. B. By giving an example. C. By making an argument. D. By introducing a concept.
10. What is the purpose of the last paragraph? A To draw a conclusion from the study. B. To offer some advice to the readers. C. To prove social activities' importance. D. To support the researchers' finding.
11. Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. Quitting Phones Equals Happiness B. Screen Time Should Be Banned C. Teens' Lives Have Changed Sharply D. Screen-addicted Teens Are Unhappier
D
