Question

【題目】 Kids need to spend time using electronic devices.

Do you love to surf the Internet, listen to music, WeChat, and talk on a cell- phone? If yes, you won’t be alone. A recent study has some surprising news: Kids in the United States between the ages of 8 and 19 spend seven and a half hours a day on electronic devices. These include computers, smartphones, and video games. Some adults try to advance the idea that these devices waste kids’ time. However, some research surveys say this idea is wrong. In fact, the data show that technology can be helpful to kids.

Critics say that kids stare at computers and TVs all day and do not get enough exercise.

One study by the National Institutes of Health says that action video games may help increase kids’ visual attention. In addition, using interactive media can give kids good structure for learning. It can also help them learn to switch tasks effectively. Kids also need to use the Web to get information. Many argue that learning to use the Web responsibly sharpens kids’ reasoning abilities.

Today’s world is wired, and not just for fun. The jobs of the future depend on kids who are in!
