[阅读材料]

Recently a survey has been made on teenagers’ use of the Internet. The results are as follows.

    Out of the 238 students who returned questionnaires, 179(75%) use the Internet at least once a week on average. The weekly Internet users are almost equally distributed between boys (52%) and girls (48%), as compared with other studies which found significantly more boys than girls online. The average amount of time spent on the Internet is 8 hours per week. However, the hours online per week vary greatly, from a little half an hour to a grand total of 62 hours per week. Most of the teenagers reflect that the favorite online services are games online, and few mention the use of the library on the Internet. According to teenagers who use the Internet very often: 58% of them frequently play games online, 34% of them chat by QQ or chat in chat rooms, and 5% of them read the news and less than 3% of them use the Internet as a tool for their study.

【参考答案】

How to use the Internet properly

  From the survey above we know that many young people are crazy about the Internet. But most of them play games online and some even do that all day and night long. A smaller number of them mainly chat and make friends online. Very few do some learning through the Internet.

  With the development of society, the Internet is playing a more and more important part in our daily life, and more and more people especially teenagers show great interest in the Internet. If we teenagers are crazy about playing games or having chats online, it will definitely have bad effect on our study and health. Worse still, it may make us get tired of everything except surfing the Internet. We should spend more time on reading good books, novels or news reports which are available on the Internet.
  In a word, the Internet makes our life convenient and colorful, but we still should learn the way to make full use of it properly.
