Very often, when we see young people sitting there, looking at the screen of a mobile phone and smiling, we may think nothing is wrong. But when we come to the question “How much time do they actually spend on media (传播媒介) daily?”, the answer is surprising: young people spend about nine hours every day using media, and this only includes media used for enjoyment.

Today’s young people seem to have become crazy multi-taskers. They often use media when doing other activities. Some watch TV when doing homework, some text (发短信), and some others listen to music. But what do young people think of this? A research showed that two thirds of them believed watching TV or texting had no influence on their schoolwork. Half of them thought using social media made no difference. However, researches have given a different answer: “media multi-taskers” did worse in tests.

Scientists did a research among more than 400 students. It shows that those who text a lot have more trouble sleeping and do worse in their study. In another research, students who didn’t text during a lesson took down a lot more notes than those who were texting. A similar research also found that students who texted when doing schoolwork had lower grades. According to a research, if a kid uses social media a lot, especially at night, he or she will sleep worse and feel more nervous and depressed (消沉的). On the one hand, young people stay up late to check messages and information. They may also be woken up by messages they receive. On the other hand, even the light from a screen could influence their sleep. Some other researches also show that children who use media at night go to bed later, get fewer hours of sleep each week, and become sleepy more easily during the daytime.

A．People only use media for enjoyment.

B．Most multi-taskers believed it had a bad influence on them.

C．The results of researches on it are different from young people’s thoughts.

D．Students like to use media to help take more notes during a lesson.

4．What is the article mainly about?

A．Social media is very popular among young people.

On October 22, 2025, Huawei released HarmonyOS 6. This new operating system (OS) is better than before. It makes using phones and other devices easier and safer for over 230 million users.

First, it runs more smoothly. The upgraded Ark Engine helps. With it, devices work 15% better, and the battery lasts more than 35 minutes longer. Apps open faster. You won’t feel slow even when playing games for hours or watching live videos.

Second, the AI features are stronger. The voice helper "Xiaoyi" is like a "super helper". It can understand 16 dialects. It helps edit photos with one sentence. It also helps people with eye problems by telling them about their surroundings. Huawei Music has new AI tools too. You can ask for a special music list for running or working. You can even find songs if you only remember things like "a song from the 2025 Spring Festival Gala".
