Being able to multi-task 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 on 【C1】______(fruit)efforts as they multi-task. It argues that, in fact, these young people are frittering away as much as half of their time again as they would if they performed the very same tasks one after another.
Some young people are juggling an ever larger number of electronic devices as they study. At the same time as they are working, young adults are also【C2】sur______the Internet, or sending out emails to their friends, and/or answering the phone and listening to music on their iPods or on another computer. As some new device comes along, it too is added to the list rather than【C3】______ (place)one of the existing devices.
Other research has【C4】ind______that this multi-tasking is even affecting the way of 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【C5】______longer greet family members when they enter the house, nor can they eat at the family table.
All this electronic wizardry is supposedly also seriously affecting young people’s performance at 【C6】uni______and in the workplace. When asked about their perception of the impact of modern gadgets on their performance of tasks, the overwhelming majority of young people gave a【C7】______(favour)response.
The response from the academic and business worlds was not quite as positive. The former feel that multi-tasking with electronic gadgets by children affects later【C8】dev______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 help with study skills. Similarly, employers feel that young people【C9】ent______the workforce need to be taught all over again, as they have become deskilled.
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【C10】______respect of the way today’s youth are able to cope, despite what the older generation throw at them. [br] 【C1】
选项
答案
truitless
解析
(该空之后的内容提到“如果年轻人同时进行多项工作,浪费的时间也相当于一项项地进行工作所浪费的时间的一半”。由此可推断即使同时进行多项工作,依旧会浪费时间。因此,根据文意应填入fruit的形容词形式fruitless。)
