With the invention of the microcomputer, a computer can now be purchased for as little as a few hundred
dollars. Taking advantage of this situation, quite a few secondary schools, even kindergartens, have already
begun to use computers. Many other schools, however, are hesitating to introduce computer science onto the
school curriculum. They wonder if students, especially younger ones, will be able to use these complicated
machines. They also fear that they may only be suitable for youngsters who are good at math. “What about
slower students?” they ask. Will computers make learning even more difficult for them? Then again, will
learning with a computer be boring?

Schools that are actually using computers are discovering answer to these questions. Surprisingly, students
who are only 6 or 7 years of age are taking to the machines like fish to water. They are not only finding them
easy but they are also finding them fascinating.

Read the following passage. Decide if the statements from 19 to 22 are True or False (1.0pt)
The digital landscape has put increased pressure on teenagers today, and we feel it. There are so many social
media channels such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Tumblr, you name it. I am Mary. I made a
conscious decision to avoid Snapchat and Instagram because of the social pressure I saw them putting on my
14-year-old little sister. If my mum turned off the wifi at 11pm, my sister would beg me to turn my phone into
a hotspot. She always needed to load her Snapchat stories one more time, or to reply to a message that had
come in two minutes ago because she didn’t want her friend to feel ignored. If I refused, saying she could
respond in the morning, I’d get the “You’re ruining my social life” speech. Even as a teenager as well, I
sometimes find this craze a little baffling.
A new study has found that teenagers who engage with social media during the night could be damaging their
sleep and increasing their risk of anxiety and depression. Teenagers spoke about the pressure they felt to make
themselves available 24/7 and the resulting anxiety if they did not respond immediately to texts or posts. Teens
are so emotionally invested in social media that one fifth of secondary school pupils will wake up at night and
log on just to make sure they don’t miss out. Perhaps the worst thing about this is that teenagers need more
sleep than adults do, so night-time social media use could be harmful to their health. A lack of sleep can make
teenagers tired, irritable, and depressed.
19. Mary doesn’t understand her sister’s passion with social media at times. 19. ______
20. Social media can cause anxiety, depression and affect teenagers’ sleep
21. Teenagers feel pressured to be constantly online. 20. ______
