　　【原文】

　　W: Welcome back to Talk of the Nation Science Friday., I’m Linda Flatow. We are talking this hour about how and why people might become addicted to things other than drugs, addicted to things like gambling, sex, even shopping. Of course our high-tech society also offers new high-tech addictions, like video games, online chat rooms. Johathon Kendall is a counselor at the University of Maryland who puts together a support group for students who find themselves addicted to the Internet. Maybe you should listen carefully to this one, if you are an Internet groupie. He joins me now from his office in College Park. Welcome to the program.

　　M: Thank you very much.

　　W: Is this a relatively new addiction?

　　M: Well, for some people. I mean some people have been involved with the Internet for years; and some of them may have been addicted for a while. With the wide spread usage of the Internet now, I mean it is certainly growing on college campuses, and we are seeing more and more of it.
　
　　W: How does that present itself? Does the student come to you and say “Doc, you got to help me, I’m addicted to the Internet?”

　　M: Well, I have seen people who have been, but they haven’t presented with that particular issue. They presented with issues like relationship problems, or they are having problems maintaining their grades because they are spending so much time doing other things. And when you find out what is really going on, they are spending a lot of time on the net, and they are not paying attention to their studies. They are not devoting the attention to their relationships. These problems are coming out in other ways.

　　W: This is something I worry about, personally my self, I will share this with you for a free consultation. I mean whenever I get a chance and have some time, I love to go surfing on the net. I’ll be on there sometimes, very surprisingly, I will be on there one o’clock in the morning. I’ll send somebody an Email message thinking they will get it the next morning. And I will get an immediate response back, you know. What are the symptoms? How do I know when my Internet compulsiveness is turning into an Internet addiction?

　　M: Ah, I am not sure the exact amount of time is really the issue. But I think when it becomes something that really begins to affect other areas of your life, when, for instance, your work performance or your school performance, or relationship with other people. One of the problems I see with the Internet, especially the chat rooms, is that people start developing relationships over the net, and they are very different from relationships that you have on a face-to-face basis. And you start losing some of the skills that make relationships successful, so that’s certainly a warning signal. I think people are beginning to say something to you like “You seemed to be spending a lot of time online.” That’s probably a good indicator as well.

　　W: What about if you start giving up other things, like going out for a walk? Is that a symptom?

　　M: Well, people have to make choices every day about the different activities that they are going to do. I think it’s helpful to have some sort of balance on your life. If you can spend some time on the Internet and then go take a walk at a different time of the day, that’s not an issue. In fact, that is one of the things that we suggested in the group is to somehow break the pattern, for example set an alarm o’clock, or something. When it rings, go out and take a walk. And then come back before you get back online.

　　11. According to the man, why is Internet addiction so common now?

　　12. What worries the interviewer about surfing on the net?

　　13. What is the problem with chat rooms according to the man?

　　14. The man says that some areas of a person’s life might be affected by Internet addiction, which of the following is not one of these areas?

　　15. What does the man suggest that students do to remind themselves to get off line and take a walk?
