The study of 267 pupils aged 11 to 18 found 63% felt addicted to the internet-Techno Addicts: Young Person Addiction to Technology-was carried out by researchers at Cranfield School of Management, Northampton Business School and academic consultancy AJM Associates.
Researchers used a written questionnaire to examine the nature and the volume of mobile phone calls and text messaging as well as computer use including e-mail, instant messaging and accessing social networking sites.
They found 62% first used or owned a computer before the age of eight, 80% first used the internet between the ages of five and 10,58% first used a mobile phone between the ages of eight and 10 and 58% have had access to a social networking sites between the ages of eleven and 13.
Over 63% felt addicted to the internet. Over 30% reported spending between one to two hours a day using the internet and 26% said they spent up to six or more hours a day. On average, pupils said they spent between one and two hours on social networking sites each day.
Over one in five(20.2%) said they left the phone on in lessons-which is usually forbidden by schools. Over a third(39%)admitted that text shortcuts damaged the quality of their written English, particularly when it came to spelling. And 84% openly admitted copying chunks of information from the internet into their homework or projects on a number of occasions.
Dr Nada Kakabadse from Northampton Business School said modern technology, such as mobile phones and handheld computer games, was having an impact on pupils’ attention levels. "They are hiding these things under the desks so their concentration cannot be equally divided, they are not focusing on what’s going on in class. "
Dr Kakabadse said pupils were also getting into a bad habit of plagiarism. "For their homework, instead of reading the book, they go on the internet and lift it. "
She also raised concerns about the text-messaging abbreviations to which young people had grown accustomed. They have invented a new language. This kind of abbreviation they unconsciously bring into their assignments.
How many pupils are addicted to the internet according to the study

A:More than 160. B:Less than 160. C:Less than 130. D:Lore than 180.

Rescuers have found the bodies of over 130 people killed in two ferry disasters in Bangladesh. The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21 Hundreds more are missing or feared dead.
The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhaka as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country. The government has since banned all ferries and other boats from travelling at night during the April-May stormy season.
One of the ferries, MV Mitali, was carrying far more people than it was supposed to. About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300, police said The second ferry carried about 100 passengers. "The number of deaths is certain to rise, " said an official in charge of the rescue work. "No one really knows how many people were on board the ferry or how many of them survived. " Ferries in Bangladesh don’t always keep passenger lists, making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board. Besides the ferry accidents, at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes, falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats.
Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh, as are boating accidents. Ferry disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people. Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures, too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions. Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh. It is a country covered by about 230 rivers. Some 20,000 ferries use the nation’s waterways(水路)every year. And many of them are dangerously overcrowded (过度拥挤). Since1977, more than 3,000 people have died in some 260 boating accidents.
How many people have been found dead in the two ferry disasters

A:More than 130 B:Over 3,000 C:About 400 D:At least 40
