Section C: Reading (15 points)
I. Read the text and answer the questions. (5 points; each 1)
Do you frequently interrupt what you're doing to check your emails or text messages? Or find it
difficult to concentrate on reading a long newspaper article, or a book? Do your children
complain because you're too busy writing tweets or checking Facebook to play with them? It's
likely that most people would answer 'yes' to at least one of these questions.

We are on the eve of the Internet revolution. But scientists have already been engaged in a
lively debate about the effect it is having on our brains. They say that the multi-tasking is
changing how we think and behave. They say that our ability to focus on what we are doing is
being damaged by receiving frequent short bursts of information.

According to recent research, these 'bursts' play to a primitive impulse in us to pay attention to
new information. In the past, this would probably have meant danger nearby: a lion or some
other kind of enemy. The equivalent nowadays is the sound of a new message or email,
provoking a feeling of excitement that can become very addictive. Without it, people feel
bored.

While many people think that multitasking makes them more productive, this has been shown
to be false. Researchers say that heavy multi-taskers have more trouble concentrating, and find
it difficult to ignore irrelevant information. They also experience more stress. On the other
hand, the use of technology can also benefit the brain in some ways. Web surfers are said to be
better at finding information, while some videogames give users-set better visual coordination.
