Read the following passage and choose the best answers.

One of the most obvious negative aspects of social networking is losing face- to-face contact

with other people. Teens are sitting around with their phone in their hands all day long,

tapping messages onto screens instead of communicating with real people. Many teenagers

feel more comfortable with virtual friends than with real ones. The majority think that it is
easier to chat on the Internet because they lack communication skills.

It is also true that parents often have no knowledge about what their kids do with their

phones or computers. Crosby says that, "While kids are plugged into social media, only

about 40% of parents are involved themselves." And because parents don't know the full

picture, they also don't know how to deal with a teenager's potential overuse of social media

and might not even be aware that a problem exists. Therefore, social networking can be

much more immediately engaging with the teenager's life than parents are, and this fact

makes virtual communication feel more "real" than face-to-face communication.

2. What do most teenagers think about chatting on the Internet?

A. Chatting on the Internet is easier than talking with real people.
