8.As young people spend more time on computers,iPads and other TV sets,researchers are asking how all that screen time affects children's and teenagers'ability to focus and learn-even drive cars.An online survey offers a new question:how is technology affecting their happiness and emotional development?The answer,from girls ages 8 to 12 having the habits,is that those who say they spend amounts of time using multimedia describe themselves in ways that suggest they are less happy and less socially comfortable than other teenagers who say they spend less time on screens.
Among the key questions that the researchers are not able to answer is whether the heavy use of media is the cause for the relative unhappiness or whether girls who are less happy to begin with are drawn to heavy use of media,in fact,coming to a virtual(虚拟)world.But the researchers assume that heavy use of media is a main factor to the social challenges of girls.
The reason the researchers is that on a basic level girls need to experience the full face-to-face communication such as learning to read body language and facial expressions.

At the same time,Ms.Gray said she worries that her daughter,who is using Facebook more,is playing out her social life online sometimes without the benefits of the full emotional range that comes from face-to-face interaction.
"It's a double-edged sword."Ms.Gray said to social media

解答 51.C 细节理解题.第二段第二句话中的".are less happy and less sociallycomfortable than other teenagers…"说明女孩们因为使用过多多媒体媒介和别人交流对她们的现实生活与人际交流来说有些不利.在现实中会让她们感到不高兴或者不自在,所以答案选C项.
52.A 推理判断题.第三段第一句话的"in fact coming to a virtual"说明过多多媒体媒介的使用将女孩子们引入到了虚拟世界中,而在现实生活中的人际交流则大打折扣.
53.B 细节理解题.第四段的关键词"need to experience the full face-to-face communication"说明女孩子们之所以更需要多经和别人面对面的交流,是因为她们太过沉迷于其他多媒体形式的媒介交流.
54.D 推理判断题.第五段末句的"not ready to blame her daughter's heavy use of technology"和第六段的"helped her daughter navigate(行)the world socially."说明在格雷女士看来多媒体媒介的使用对女儿来说还是好处更多,所以她并不打算禁止女儿用.
55.细节理解题.根据最后一段"Ms.Gray said she worries…playing out her social life online sometimes without the benefits of the full emotional range that comes from face-to-face interaction"可知,Ms.Gray 担心女儿过于依赖网上社交而忽略了真正的面对面的情感交流.
