问题     Surfing the Internet during class doesn’ t just steal focus from the educator: it also hurts students who’ re already struggling to【C1】______the material. A new study from Michigan State University, though, argues that all students—including high achievers—see a decline in performance when they browse the Internet during class for non-academic purposes.
    To measure the effects of Internet-based distractions during class, researchers【C2】______500 students taking an introductory psychology class at Michigan State University. Researchers used ACT scores as a measure of intellectual【C3】______Because previous research has shown that people with high intellectual abilities are better at【C4】______out distractions, researchers believed students with high ACT scores would not show a【C5】______decrease in performance due to their use of digital devices.

    College professors are increasingly【C6】______alarm bells about the effects smartphones, laptops, and tablets have on academic performance. One 2013 study of college students found that 80% of students use their phones or laptops during class, with the average student checking their digital device 11 times in a【C7】______class. A quarter of students report that their use of digital devices during class causes their grades to【C8】______.
    Professors sometimes implement policies designed to【C9】______students’ use of digital devices, and some instructors even confiscate (没收) tablets and phones.

One international study found that 84% of people say they couldn’ t go a day without their smartphones. Until students are able to【C10】______the pull of social networking, texting, and endlessly surfing the web, they may continue to struggle in their classes.
