Question

Look at the diagram. It   1   something of home computer used by a group of young people.

We asked thirty young people between fourteen and eighteen. We asked them how much  2  they usually spent on their computers in a week, but we were most interested in  3  they used their omputers for.

The usual time spent on a computer in a week was about twelve hours, with  4  user about thirty-two hours, and the lowest user only five hours.

All the children said they usually used computers  5   . Fourteen children told us they did some word processing (文字處理)  6   . Only two of them said computers helped with their lessons, and eight people told us they kept addresses and phone numbers on their computers or used   7  as diaries. Only three people said they were learning to make computer programmes and nobody looked up databases(數(shù)據(jù)庫(kù)). None of them used computers for any  8  use.

The results show that computer use is quite high among 14～18 year old. They also show quite clearly that computers  9  by most young people as little more than game machines. The only other great uses are for word-processing and  10  address lists. Though computers are common in the homes of young people, they have not yet become useful in everyday life.
