For the study, the researchers quizzed 219 college students about their study habits and the time they spent on Face book. They found that 65 percent of Face book users used the daily, often checking it several times to see if they had received new messages. The study said that 68 percent of students who used Face book didn’t perform as well as those who did not use the site. Surfing on Face book can swallow up(耗盡 ) hours of study time. University student Daisy Jones, 21, said: I was in the library trying to write a 2,000word essay when I noticed my Face book habit had gotten out of hand. I couldn’t resist going online. You do that, then someone’s photo catches your eyes. Before you know it, a couple of minutes have turned into a couple of hours and you haven’t written a thing. While they focused on Face book, the findings are also thought to hold true for other social working sites. A research by the National Literacy Trust recently showed that one in five youngsters aged seven to 15 never read books outside school because websites and blogs are being their reading matter of choice. Pupils ranked social working sites, blogs, general websites and magazines above books in a survey of their reading habits. Research has also shown that youngsters are spending up to six hours a day in front of a screen. However, students appeared to ignore the effect of going online on their study performance. The majority did not feel it had an impact on their work. A spokesman for Face book said: There is also research that shows the benefits of services like Face book. It’s in the hands of students, with the help of their parents, to decide how they spend their time. 63. What’s the main id ea of this passage?
