Q28-Q35: Read the passage carefully and choose A, D, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions that follow.
1. Many parents are concerned about how exposure to technology might affect young children’s
development. We know that our preschoolers are acquiring new social and cognitive skills at an
impressive rate, and we don’t want hours glued to an electronic device to impede this. But adolescence
is an equally important and rapidly developing period. Too few of us are paying attention to how our
teens’ technology use (far more intense and intimate than that of a 3-year-old playing with his dad’s
phone) affects them. Experts worry that social networking and texting, which have become essential
to teenage life, promote anxiety and lower self-esteem.
2. INDIRECT COMMUNICATION
Teens can keep busy hours after school and even long after bedtime. When they’re not doing their
homework (and when they are), they’re online and on their phones, texting, sharing, trolling, scrolling,
whatever.
3. Of course, before everyone had an Instagram account, teens were also busy, but they were more likely
to talk on the phone or in person when they were at the mall. While it may have seemed like a lot of
pointless meetings, they were experimenting, testing skills, succeeding, and failing in hundreds of
small, real-time interactions, which today’s kids need to catch up on. For their part, modern teenagers
are learning to communicate mainly while looking at a screen, not at another person.
4. CYBERBULLYING AND IMPOSTER SYNDROME
The other big danger of kids communicating more indirectly is that it has become easier to be cruel.
“Kids are sending all kinds of messages they wouldn’t dream of saying to anyone’s face,” says Donna
5
Wick, EdD, a clinical and developmental psychologist. She notes that this seems especially true for
girls, who generally dislike disagreeing with their friends in “real life.”
5. Acceptance among their peers is essential to teens, and many of them care about their image as much
as a politician running for office, and for them, it can feel that serious. Add to that the fact that kids
today get real survey data about how much people like them or how they look, through things like
“likes.” It’s enough to turn anyone’s head – who wouldn’t want to look “better” if they can? So kids
can spend hours clipping their identities online, trying to project an idealized image. Teenage girls sort
through hundreds of photos, with tremendous angst over which ones to post online. Teenage boys
compete for attention, trying to outdo each other and pushing boundaries as much as possible in the
uninhibited online atmosphere. They gang up on each other.
6. Teens have always been doing this, but with the advent of social networking, they face more
opportunities and more pitfalls than ever before. When kids check social media posts and see how good
everyone looks, it only adds to the pressure. We’re used to worrying about the impractical ideals that
digitally retouched magazine models give our kids, but what happens when the kid next door is also
retouched? Even more confusing, what happens when our profile doesn’t represent the person we feel
we are inside?
