VIII. Choose the word or phrase among A, B, C or D that best fits the blank space in the following
passage.
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’.
25. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. Teens: More Media Use Than Hours in The Day

A. habits B. adults C. difficulties D. teenagers
28. The word “pointless” in paragraph 3 is opposite in meaning to ________.
A. useful B. invaluable C. worthless D. ineffective
29. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. An average teen in America spends nearly half a day using media.
B. Marisa Sanchez could complete her school assignment and relax at a time.
C. Dr. Michael Rich expected teenagers to get distracted due to multitasking
