Read the following passage and choose the correct answer for each of the questions.
A survey into the media habits of teenagers in the USA reveals some surprising statistics. The average
teenager spends an incredible eleven hours each day on their mobile phones, computers, games consoles or
TVs. That's more hours than they are awake outside school time! How are they able to do this? The answer,
of course, is multitasking.
The results of the survey came as no surprise to fifteen-year-old participant Jake Kendall. He told
researchers that he multitasked every second that he was online. He said that he was completing their survey
at the same time as watching a TV show, chatting to friends online and reading reviews of the latest film
releases. For sixteen-year-old Marisa Sanchez, the survey simply confirmed the facts. She said that she had
watched two hours of TV in the three hours since the end of school, and also researched her homework about
volcanoes, played an online game for two hours, and arranged her weekend plans by texting friends.
Some experts are worried about the survey results. Sylvia de Lupis of the Family Action Institute told our
reporter that teenagers would have difficulties because of their multitasking habits. She added that, as adults,
they would struggle to focus their attention. However, Dr Michael Rich from the Center on Media and Child
Health said that worries about multitasking had become pointless a long time ago, and that high levels of
media use were now a part of young people's environment, 'like the air that they breathe, the water that they
drink and the food that they eat'.
