Today’s grandparents are joining grandchildren on social media, but the different generation’s online habits couldn’t be more different. The over-55s are joining Facebook in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the site’s second biggest user group, with 3.5 million users aged 55-64 and 2.9 million over-65s.
Sheila, aged 59, says, “I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. I think I’m lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did.”
However, Sheila’s grandchildren are less likely to use Facebook themselves. Children under 17 are leaving the site—only 2.2 million users are under 17---but they’re not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, age 15, even sleeps with her phone. “It’s my alarm clock so I have to,” she says. “I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up.”
Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone and social media addiction as their parents were the early adopters of the smartphone. Peter, 38 and father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. He says, “How could I tell my kids to get off their phones is I was always in front of a screen myself?” So, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. “I’m not completely separated from the world if emergent, but the important thing is that I’m setting a better example to my kids and spending more quality time with them.”
Is it only a matter of time until the generation above and below Peter catches up with the new trend (趋势) for a less digital life?
29. How does Sheila feel about social media?
A. Useful. B. Disappointed.
C. Useless. D. Addicted.
30. Why does Peter take his SIM card out of his smartphone?
A. To make calls to his boss.
B. To stop his work.
C. To set a good example to his kids.
D. To catch up with the new trend.
31. What does the underlined word “separated” mean in Paragraph 4?
A. different B. figured out
C. cut off D. protected
32. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Children under 17 don’t use smartphone at all.
B. Chloe is one of the early adopters of the smartphone.
C. Today’s grandparents enjoy a life without social media.
D. People may enjoy a less digital life in the near future.
