Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Do you feel like your teenager is spending most of the day glued to a phone screen?
You're not
too far
off. A new
survey
from the
Pew Research
Center
reveals the surprising
ways that technology intersects with teen friendships — and the results show that 57 percent
of teens have made at least one new friend online. Even more surprisingly, only 20 percent of
those digital friends ever meet in person.
While teens do connect with their friends face-to-face outside of school, they spend 55 percent
of their day texting with friends, and only 25 percent of teens are spending actual time with their friends
on a daily
basis
(outside
of
school
hallways).
These
new
forms
of
communication
are
key
in
maintaining friendships day-to-day — 27 percent of teens instant message their friends every day, 23
percent connect through social media every day, and 7 percent even video chat daily. Text messaging
remains the main form of communication — almost half of survey respondents say it's their chosen
method of communication with their closest friend.
While girls are more likely to text with their close friends, boys are meeting new friends
(and maintaining friendships) in the gaming world-89 percent play with friends they know, and 54
percent play
with online-only
friends.
Whether they're close
with
their teammates or
not,
online
garners
say
that
playing
makes
them
feel
"more
connected"
to
friends
they
know,
or
garners
they've never met.
When making new friends, social media has also become a major part of the teenage identity-
62 percent of teens are quick to share their social media usernames when connecting with a
new friend (although 80 percent still consider their phone number the best
method
of
contact).
Despite
the negative
consequences-21
percent
of
teenage
users
feel
worse
about
their lives
because of posts they see on social media — teens also have found support and connection through
various platforms. In fact, 68 percent of teens received support during a challenging time in their
lives via social media platforms.
Just
as
technology
has
become
a
gateway
for
new
friendships,
or
a
channel
to
stay
connected with current friends, it can also make a friendship breakup more public. The study
reveals
that
girls
are
more
likely
to
block
or
unfriend
former
allies,
and
68
percent
of
all
teenage users report experiencing "drama among their friends on social media."
Question 1:
What is the
main idea
of the
passage?
A. Social media affects friendship too much.
B. Teenagers are making and keeping friends in a surprising way.
