Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the questions.

These days, we use powerful devices with bright screens more than before. Too much screen time can harm our health in different ways.

First, using technology all the time may make our memory and brain performance worse over time. When we rely a lot on the storage and processing power of technology, we will use our skills less. This can decrease our ability to remember things.

Second, increased screen time often means less face-to-face interaction with others. Instead of meeting people in person, we may communicate mainly through computers and phones. This lack of real connections can negatively impact our emotional well-being.

Finally, sitting the whole day to use technology devices can contribute to weight gain and other health problems such as obesity. 

To maintain good health, it's important to recognize the need to get a balance. Besides surfing the Internet on technology devices, making time for physical activity, direct socializing,  and new hobbies can help reduce the harm of our digital lifestyles.

What is the main purpose of the passage?

  • To suggest ways to maintain good health
  • To highlight the negative effects of excessive screen time
  • To explain how technology devices work
  • To review the latest models of different technology devices

Why does increased technology use lead to poorer memory?

  • Because we rely more on their storage rather than our own abilities
  • Because technology use prevents us from focusing on information
  • Because we lack face-to-face interactions with other people
  • Because technology use can cause brain diseases
