In today's society,the Internet has made its way into almost every home.It is a well-known fact that the web is a valuable asset for research and learning.Unfortunately,it can also be a very dangerous place for teens.
It’s clear that,for teenagers,spending too much time online can really deter social and educational development.The Internet world is such that there is always something new to do and to distract one from one’s responsibilities.There is nothing wrong with using the Internet as a tool for research,news,and even entertainment.After all,the World Wide Web is the world’s most accurate,up to date resource for almost any type of information.But it grows increasingly easier to develop a dependency on it.This is especially true for teens- a group that tends to be susceptible to flashy graphics.In a sense,the Internet is the new video game or TV show.Although they may have good intentions,they might be at risk of coming across something inappropriate and even dangerous.
To solve the problem,we should start by limiting the amount of time they spend online.If he or she is accustomed to spending eight hours per weeknight on the Internet,try limiting use in the first week to six hours per night and working steadily down.Encourage them to go to social events.And with love and attention from parents,teens can and will learn to disengage – even if it takes some time.
【譯文】
在當(dāng)今社會,互聯(lián)網(wǎng)已經(jīng)進(jìn)入家家戶戶.眾所周知,互聯(lián)網(wǎng)是研究和學(xué)習(xí)的寶貴資源.不幸的是,對于青少年來講,它也可以是非常危險的.
顯然,青少年花費(fèi)太多時間上網(wǎng)的確真的對孩子的社交和教育有妨礙.互聯(lián)網(wǎng)世界就是這樣,總是有一些新的東西在吸引人們的注意力.使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)進(jìn)行研究、看新聞、甚至娛樂,這并沒有什么錯.畢竟,互聯(lián)網(wǎng)能提供世界上最準(zhǔn)確的、最新的、幾乎包羅萬象的信息資源.但是它也能讓人們對它產(chǎn)生越來越大的依賴.往往受到五彩斑斕的圖像的吸引的青少年更是如此.從某種意義上說,互聯(lián)網(wǎng)是新的視頻游戲或電視節(jié)目.雖然都出自良好的愿望,他們在上網(wǎng)時可能會遇到一些不適當(dāng)?shù)?甚至是危險的風(fēng)險.
為了解決這個問題,我們應(yīng)該從限制他們的上網(wǎng)時間開始做.如果孩子每晚已經(jīng)習(xí)慣于在互聯(lián)網(wǎng)上花費(fèi)8小時,那么在第一周,盡量把他們的上網(wǎng)時間限制在每晚6小時,慢慢穩(wěn)步減少.鼓勵他們參加社會活動.有了父母的愛和關(guān)注,青少年可以并且一定能脫離對網(wǎng)絡(luò)的沉迷——- 即使它需要一些時間.
