阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Studies have shown most people
fail to realize how much time they spend on their smartphones
each day.
Frank and Amelia's family were
put to a test, using a free app called "Momentscreen
Time Tracker". The Vascellaros—Frank, Amelia, 14yearold twins Frankie and Joe, and 17yearold Sam—all
said they did not really know they were spending so much time on their phones
each day.
"Honestly, I don't feel
like I'm on my phone a lot," Amelia Vascellaro said. Amelia was on her
phone far less often than Frank, according to the app. While Amelia spent about
an hour per day on the phone, Frank spent close to four hours on his phone—which
came as a shock to him. The children's times varied but they often spent more
than a couple of hours on the phone as well.
Minneapolisbased Dr
Kirsten Lind Seal sees phone usage come up a lot among families. Lind Seal said
many family members' phone use has become problematic.
"If we hear more than
once, 'Do you have to be on your phone right now? Can you please put your phone
down? Did you hear what I said?' it may be a sign that it is negatively
influencing our family relationships and our daily lives," she said.
Lind Seal said actually paying
attention to how much time one spends on the phone is a good first step in
deciding when to put it down.
She asks parents to encourage
more facetoface communication for teens and young
adults as they continue developing their social and emotional skills.
"What we find is that we are really losing out on empathy—the ability to understand other people's feelings and problems——when we spend a lot of time on our smartphones
to communicate with other people she said.
