阅读理解①Have you ever asked somebody a question but they didn't reply because they were looking at their phones? Or have you ever found that hours have passed since you planned to play a game just for 10 minutes? Have you played the computer games or mobile phones for a long time a day? People are using digital products more than ever.
②On 2nd May, a centre for health study, Fairplay, came up with an idea of A Screen- Free Week. They encourage families to turn off their screens and enjoy activities in real life for one day a week. Their suggestion is based on the following facts.
③One study in 2020 found that young people in China aged between seven and sixteen spend about three hours and 48 minutes a day online. Another one in 2022 shows that people in Philippines spend more than 10 hours a day online, the highest in the world. What's more, a research shows that looking down at the phones for a long time is harmful to human spine (脊柱).
④Should people have one screen-free day a week?
⑤People who answer "Yes" think using digital products too much is bad for health. Too much time online can influence sleep and shorten the time for young people to focus on things. Instead, whether it's playing sports or reading a book, a day off line would help people focus on their hobbies. And hobbies can make people feel more rested and relaxed.
⑥However, some disagree with the point. They think that instead of banning(禁止) digital products for one day a week, people should be wise to know how often they are online and how this makes them feel. After all, receiving a funny dog video from a friend can make them feel happy and less lonely. Therefore, there is no need to ban digital products for one day.
⑦Surely, it's better to take daily breaks in the real world and turn screens off during mealtimes and an hour or two before bed. But it's unrealistic to spend a whole day offline. What if you find yourself in an emergency(紧急情况) and need to call someone for help? All in all, using digital products in a proper way is what really matters.
