Being able to multitask is hailed by most people as a welcome skill, but not according to a recent study which claims that young people between the ages of eight and eighteen of the so-called Generation M are spending a considerable amount of their time in fruitless efforts as they multitask. It argues that, in fact, these young people are frittering (浪费) away as much as half of their time as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after the other.
Some young people are using an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. At the same time they are working, young adults are also surfing on the Internet, or sending out emails to their friends, and/or answering the telephone and listening to music on their iPods. As some new device comes along, it is also added to the list rather than replacing one of the existing devices.
Other research has indicated that this multitasking is even affecting the way families themselves function as young people are too wrapped up in their own isolated worlds to interact with the other people around them. They can no longer greet family members when they enter the house nor can they eat at the family table.
All this electronic wizardry (魔力) is supposedly also seriously affecting young people’s performance at university and in the workplace. When asked about their opinions of the impact of modern gadgets (小装置) on their performance of tasks, the great majority of young people gave a favorable response.
The response from the academic and business worlds was not quite as positive. The former feel that multitasking with electronic gadgets by children affects later development of study skills, resulting in a decline in the quality of writing, for example, because of the lack of concentration on task completion. They feel that many undergraduates now urgently need remedial (补救的) help with study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people entering the workforce need to be taught all over again.
While all this may be true, it must be borne in mind that more and more is expected of young people nowadays; in fact, too much. Praise rather than criticism is due in respect of the way today’s youth are able to cope despite what the older generation throw at them. [br] What do we learn about the multitasking Generation M from a recent study?
选项
A、They are highly praised for being efficient.
B、They put more energy on important tasks.
C、They don’t save much time as supposed.
D、They need to improve their analytical skills.
答案
C
解析
根据题干中的Generation M将本题出处定位到首段。该段末句提到,该研究认为,事实上,正像依次完成各个任务一样,这些年轻人(在同时完成这些任务时)仍旧浪费了一半时间。也就是说,他们并不像人们认为的那样,节约了很多时间,而是浪费了时间,故答案为[C]。首段提到,……被称为“多媒体一代”的年轻人在同时做几项工作的过程中常常事倍功半、了无成果,很显然是对Generation M的负面评价,[A]与之矛盾,故排除。[B]在文中未提及。[D] 是针对Generation M are spending a considerable amount of their time infruitless efforts as they multitask设的干扰项。
