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.

D Guinness World Records, known until 2020 as The Guinness Book of Records(and in previous . editions as The Guinness Book of World Records), is a reference book published annually, and contains an internationally recognized collection of world records — both human achievements and the extremes of the natural world. The book itself holds a world record, as the bestselling copyrighted series of all time. However, several world records that were once included in the book have been removed for ethical (倫理的 ) reasons. By publishing world records in categories(種類 ), the book encourages people to try to beat that record, and pays no attention to health and safety. For example, following the publication of a heaviest cat record, many cat owners fed their pets beyond the bounds of what was healthy。 this is an example of the entries that have been removed.
