问题    Internet use appears to cause a drop in psychological health, according to a research at Carnegie Mellon University.
   Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more bad feelings and loneliness than those who was online less frequently, the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.
   The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in psychological health, researchers hypothesized(推测). Faceless, bodiless "virtual" (虚的)communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
   " But it’ s important to remember this is not about the technology, it’ s about how it is used, " says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study’ s sponsors (发起人). " It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology. " [br] What does Christine Riley, the psychologist, suggest?
选项 A、It’ s necessary to take social factors into account in designing applications and services for technology.
B、It’ s important to tell the users how to design and apply the technology.
C、Compared with social factors, the technology itself has more influence on the Internet users.
D、No social factors should be considered in applications and services for technology.
答案 A
解析 推理题。根据文章最后一段克里斯汀．莱利所说的话可知，这与技术无关，和人们怎样利用它有关。它确实指出了在设计应用程序和技术服务方面考虑社会因素的必要性。所以选项A(在设计应用程序和技术服务方面把社会因素考虑在内是有必要的)符合文章内容。选项B(告诉使用者如何设计和应用技术是重要的)和选项C(和社会因素相比，技术本身对使用者的影响更大)与文意不符。选项D(在应用程序和技术服务方面社会因素不应被考虑在内)和文章内容相反，故本题选A。
