B(2025·江苏宿迁联考)
"I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning and I surf the net."
"I often check my email 40 times a day."
"I often spend more than three hours at one time on the net."
"I spend more time in chat rooms than with my 'real-life' friends."
Do you know any people like this? They are part of a new addiction(瘾) called internet addiction. Internet addicts(成瘾的人) spend at least 30-40 hours online every week. The use of the internet can be an addiction like drug(毒品) use. People lose control of the time they spend on the internet.
For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried, and they called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he had been surfing the net for several days.
Studies show that about 6 per cent to 10 per cent of internet users become addicted. And people worry about the teens because the internet is changing the playing field for some of them. They spend more time in cyberspace than in the real world with friends and family.
