Phones influence all aspects of teenage life. Ninety-five percent of Americans ages 13 to
17 have a smartphone or have access to one, and nearly half report using the intern et“almost
26 ”
But as recent survey data and interviews have suggested, many teens find much of that time to be unsatisfyingly spent. Continuous 27 shouldn't be mistaken for endless enjoyment. A new 28 representative survey about“screen time and device distractions”from the Pew Research Center indicates that it's not just parents who think teenagers are worryingly. 29from their phones—many teens themselves do too. Fifty-four percent of the 13-to- 17-year-olds surveyed said they spend too much time 30in their phones.
Vicky Rideout, who runs a research firm that studies children's interactions with media and technology, was not surprised by this finding. She says it's hardly .31 to teenagers. “They are dealing with the same challenges that adults are, as far as they are living in the32
of a tech environment designed to suck as much of their time onto their devices as possible,”Rideout says.
The way parents interact with technology can 33 t he way they interact with their kids. Rideout thus thinks it's up to parents to model good 34:Kids tend to take note if their parents put their phone away at dinner or charge it in another room while they sleep. Witnessing habits like that can help
kids“realize that they can 35 some more control over their devices,”she says.

Evil Genius
A)A few years ago I found myself teaching a university class on evil.It was for third-year
criminology students to help them contextualize theory and research within controversial current topics. It was a huge success. The debates were heated and interesting. I could see people's views change within the course of a single lecture. Over the past 13 years,as a student, lecturer and researcher, I've enjoyed discussing the science of evil with anyone willing to listen. What I like most is destroying the cliche(陈词滥调)of good and evil, and replacing them with scientific insight. We need a more informed way of discussing behavior that at first we cannot, or should not, begin to understand.
B)Without understanding, we risk dehumanizing others, writing off human beings simply
because we don't comprehend them. We must try to understand what we have labeled evil.
We tend to think evil is something that other people are. We think of ourselves as“good people”,and even when we do morally wrong things, we understand the context of our decisions.With others, however, it is far easier to write them off.If their actions deviate (偏离)substantially from what we consider acceptable, we may label them evil. We need to be careful with this. Calling someone evil is often similar to saying they cannot change, and perhaps aren't even a human at all. However, when you actually go monster-hunting, and you look deeply at the people behind shocking behavior, you may be surprised.
C) As a child I used to love the Scooby-Doo cartoons. Arriving in thei r“Mystery Machine”,
the gang would have to find a monster who was terrorizing a neighborhood. They would run around looking for clues and at the end unmask the bad guy. It was always a normal person in a costume. There were no monsters.Like the Scooby crew,we may find ourselves hunting for an easy fix, one word for people who do bad things. But if we take a good look, the word“evil”is insufficient—there are no simple explanations for why humans do bad things: instead there are many,and they are all marvelously different.
