问题    It’s an argument virtually every modern parent has had with their child; the battle to prise them away from the mobile phone they’re glued to. For children, a smartphone is a window to games, videos and constant interaction with their friends. But for parents, it can feel like a minefield. But who’s in the right?
   First, it’s worth bearing in mind that screen time can be beneficial. " We tend not to recognise the value of what they do on their mobile devices, but they often use them to extend an interest—for instance, if they’re interested in gymnastics, they’ll watch videos of routines and try to learn from them," Peter Twining, professor of education at the Open University says.
   This difference in understanding of children’s mobile phone usage may help to explain the substantial disparity (差异) in opinion between children and parents about how much screen time is acceptable. According to a survey, the mean amount of screen time that adults thought appropriate for children was 1. 75 hours, with children believing it to be 3.34 hours.
   But at least both parties do recognise that there should be limits. However, recent research suggests that instead of setting specific time limits for usage, such as a maximum of two hours per day, it’s actually the nature of the screen time that matters. For instance, passively flicking through social media posts is less beneficial than actively playing games, which can improve problem-solving skills and persistence. A study found that " how children use the devices, not how much time they spend on them, is the strongest predictor of emotional or social problems connected with screen addiction. "
   Twining agrees, saying: "I’m less concerned about screen time than about the nature of the interactions around the screen. The screen should become a shared focal point for interaction within the family rather than an individual activity. The screen shouldn’t be an alternative to socialising with your child, it should be an enhancement to it. " [br] What does Peter Twining say about screen time?
选项 A、Screen time will help children solve problems.
B、Screen time is interesting.
C、Screen time will help to improve children’s study.
D、Screen time may be beneficial.
答案 D
解析 事实细节题。由定位句可知，孩子们经常会用移动设备来拓展兴趣——比如，如果他们对体操感兴趣，他们就会观看成套视频并努力向他们学习，这些都是屏幕时间带来的益处，故答案为D)。A)“屏幕时间将帮助孩子们解决问题”，第四段第三句指出玩游戏可以提高解决问题的能力，但这并非彼得-特文宁的观点，故排除；B)“屏幕时间很有趣”，文中没有提到相关内容，故排除；C)“屏幕时间有助于提高孩子们的学习”，由定位句可知，屏幕时间主要是拓展孩子们的兴趣，而非提高孩子们的学习，故排除。
