Teachers say that the digital(數(shù)字) age has had a good influence and a not-so-good influence on American teenagers. More than 2,000 middle and high school teachers took an online survey. Researchers also spoke with teachers in some groups. Most teachers think the Internet and digital search tools have had a mostly positive influence on their students' research habits and skills. But at the same time,some teachers also point out some problems in teenagers' using digital search tools.

The Pew Internet Project did the survey with the College Board and the National Writing Project. Judy Buchanan is the director of the National Writing Project and a co-writer of the report. She says digital research tools are helping students learn more, and learn faster. "Both teachers and students really welcome these tools because they make learning exciting. And the goal is to really help students become creators of something meaningful, and not just users of the online information.”

But one problem the survey found is that these technologies make teenagers have short attention spans(持續(xù)時(shí)間). As there is huge amount of information about different subjects on the Internet, teenagers' attention is easily drawn away from their research.

Another problem the survey found is that many students trust the information they find on the Internet too much. Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills to judge the online information. They need to learn a lot to tell if the information is believable. It's something that really has to be paid attention to.

One more problem the survey found is something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online. Many students think "doing research" now means just doing a quick search on Google. Teachers say the result is a drop in the wish and ability of their students to work hard to find answers. That is, they are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research librarians.

Many teachers also say that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.

1.The result of the survey shows .

A.digital search tools need to be greatly improved

B.digital search tools are generally good for teenagers

C.teenagers have difficulty in using digital search tools

D.American teachers enjoy using digital search tools

2.Using digital search tools makes teenagers .

A.less trusting of online information B.more independent in doing research

C.more willing to work hard to find answers D.less able to pay full attention while searching

3.To do better in research, teenagers should .

A.spend more time searching online B.ask their teachers for more advice

C.make better use of printed materials D.learn more knowledge of search tools

I graduated from college recently and moved to Washington by myself. While I was in college, it was really easy to meet new people. But "out in the real world", I was finding it really hard. I live in a big city, and it seems like everyone around me is busy or already has all the friends they want. I was feeling so discouraged(沮喪的)and I didn't know what to do, so I called my sister for some advice.

My sister is five years older than I am, so she's been through all this already. She's been helping me with my problems all my life. When I explained my problem, she understood completely. She said, "Why don't you try meeting people online?"

"Online? Are you kidding?" I asked. "A friend of mine chatted with a guy online, and when she finally met him face to face, he was nothing like what he said."

My sister laughed. "You don't have to look for dates online," she said. "But you can find other people like you—people who have just moved to town and want to make some new friends. When I first moved to New York after college, I found a book club and a football team online. I met a lot of people that way."

"But you don't even like football!" I said.

"I know," she replied. "But that didn't matter. I still bad a lot of fun. You played volleyball in college. Why don't you look for a volleyball team to join? Or an art class?"

"Yeah! I saw a website about volunteering the other day." I said. "I could volunteer for an organization here in Washington. I bet I could meet a lot of really nice people that way."

"Good idea!" my sister answered excitedly. "Hey, you might even meet the perfect guy."

"OK, now you're starting to sound like Mom," I said. "Thanks a lot for the advice. I'm going online right now. I'll let you know what happens. Will you be home tonight?"

"No, but I'll be here all day tomorrow, so give me a call," my sister replied. "Good luck!"
