2018年公共英語一級考試閱讀專題練習及答案(4)

　　Internet(因特網) use seems to cause a decline(下降) in psychological(心理的) health,which is reported by a study.

　　Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet felt more depression(沮喪) and loneliness than those who spent little time on the Internet,the two-year study showed. And it wasn't that people who were already feeling bad spent more time on the Internet,but that using the Internet seems to cause the bad feelings.

They can't have real conversations. Another possible reason is that people can see the outside world on the Internet and it makes them less satisfied(滿意的)with their lives.
