Social Media Harms Teen Mental Health

In today’s world, social media is a big part of many teenagers’ daily lives. While it has some benefits, such as staying connected with friends, meeting new people, and learning about interesting topics, it also brings serious problems. I strongly believe that social media harms teen mental health, and we must pay more attention to this issue before it becomes even worse.

First, social media often makes teenagers compare themselves to others in an unhealthy way. When teens see pictures of people who seem perfect, they feel that they are not good enough. These feelings can lower self-esteem and lead to sadness, anxiety, or even depression. The problem is that many of these online posts are edited, filtered, or fake, but teens still feel pressure to look or live the same way. They may think that their own life is boring or not successful, which is simply not true.

Second, too much time on social media affects sleep and study habits. Many teenagers use their phones late at night, checking messages or watching videos, which reduces sleep time and quality. Without enough sleep, teens cannot focus well in class, and their grades may suffer. This can increase stress and worry about the future, making them feel overwhelmed.

Finally, online bullying, or cyberbullying, is another serious danger. Unlike face-to-face bullying, it can happen at any time and be shared with many people. Victims of cyberbullying often feel alone, scared, and helpless, and in some cases, it leads to serious mental health problems.

In conclusion, although social media has some good uses, its harm to teen mental health is much greater. Teenagers need support from parents, teachers, and society to use it wisely. Schools should teach students how to use social media in healthy ways, and parents should guide their children to take breaks and spend time offline. By doing this, we can help protect young people’s mental health in this digital age.

Problems 21−25 are based on the following passage

Situated on steep slopes, montane and watershed forests are especially important in ensuring water flow and inhibiting erosion. Yet, during the 1980s, montane formations suffered the highest deforestation rate of tropical forests.

When the forests are cut down, less moisture is evapotranspired into the atmosphere, resulting in the formation of fewer rain clouds. Subsequently, there is a decline in rainfall, subjecting the area to drought.

Today, Madagascar is largely a red, treeless desert from generations of forest clearing with fire. River flows decline and smaller amounts of quality water reach cities and agricultural lands. Colombia, once second in the world with freshwater reserves, has fallen to 24th due to its extensive deforestation over the past 30 years.

Excessive deforestation around the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur, combined with the dry conditions created by El Niño, triggered strict water rationing in 1998, and for the first time the city had to import water.

There is serious concern that widespread deforestation could lead to a significant decline in rainfall and trigger a positive-feedback process of increasing desiccation for neighboring forest cover. The newly desiccated forest becomes prone to devastating fires.

Such fires materialized in 1997 and 1998 in conjunction with the dry conditions created by El Niño. Millions of acres burned as fires swept through Indonesia, Brazil, Colombia, Central America, Florida, and other places. 

The Woods Hole Research Center warned that more than 400,000 square kilometers of Brazilian Amazonia were highly vulnerable to fire in 1998.

Problems 26-30 are based on the following passage

Everyone likes to group things. Language students group words as verbs, nouns, and so on; collections of words are classified as phrases, or clauses, or sentences, and these again are reclassified according to their function.

In the same way, botanists classify plants as algae, or fungi, or gymnosperms, etc. Zoologists classify animals as vertebrates and invertebrates. The vertebrates can be further classified as mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, etc. Classification enables us to keep hold of more information and, if it is based on the right data, enables us to understand better the ideas we are studying.

Chemists are no exception. The chemical classification of materials, if it is based on a good system, should enable us to understand better the many substances which exist in our world. What is to be the basis of our classification? Perhaps the most obvious one is appearance.

Materials could be classified as solid, liquid, or gas with some mixed types — for example, mud being solid/liquid material and steam a liquid/gas material. Appearance could enable us to subdivide our main classification groups a little further: the solid may be green or black, powdery or crystalline; the liquid may be colored, oily, thick, or free-flowing; the gas may be colored.

However, we soon realize that many probably quite different materials have the same appearance. Both air and the deadly carbon-monoxide gas are colorless, odorless gases, but we would not like to group them as the same thing. Many different liquids are colorless, water-like materials.

26. The examples provided in paragraph 2 clarify that ….

1. Many kinds of liquid should be grouped as one.
2. Different kinds of gas can be colorless and odorless.
3. Materials in chemistry should be classified differently.
4. Chemistry materials have more complicated classification.
5. Taxonomy can be made and applied further to other areas.

Answer: D

27. Paragraph 2 exemplifies the idea about classification that ….

1. Chemicals may be solid, liquid, and gaseous.
2. Appearance is not a useful basis in chemistry.
3. The use of colors is better than that of appearance.
4. Both colors and appearance should be considered.
5. Colors should be included for identifying appearance.

Answer: B

28. The sentence “Chemists are no exception” (Paragraph 2, line 1) could possibly be restated as ….

1. Chemical materials can also be put into classification.
2. Classification of chemical materials is without exception.
3. Chemists may also classify materials using certain criteria.
4. When appearance is the basis, chemists are not involved.
5. In material classification, chemicals should not be included.

Problems 31−35 are based on the following passage

Passage A

School is necessary because it, first, makes communication with diverse people essential, as parents do not choose where their children go, and secondly, homeschooling and extracurricular activities connected to it cannot bring that diversity, for the attending group is self-selecting rather than an “unfiltered mixture”.

I believe that none of the two assumptions is warranted nor true.

In the first place, parents still select schools for their children on the basis of common values, cultures, and achievements. As such, public schools then offer obvious misrepresentations of the society.

Not only that, I think it nonsense that homeschooling should somehow get rid of diversity from socialization in sports teams or other clubs. What members of a basketball team or a debate club share is not race, religion, nor income bracket; it is the desire to participate.

Passage B

Children can perhaps be best described as beings of potential during their school years. Each child is in the process of discovering their talents and having them be cared for in an attempt to best reach self-actualization.

Under the homeschooling system, parents become much more exclusive mentors to a child, and this can be problematic. Although parents are generally aware of what their child is capable of, their evaluations are not always precise.

This could be for a number of reasons. First, it may be due to the fact that their children are predominantly seen in the home environment, limiting their chances to show off their potential in other situations. It could also be because parents sometimes assume that their children will share the same talents that they had. Simply stated, it would be unreasonable to assume parents could see the whole picture.

31. The common theme underlying both passages above is ….

1. Formal school and home school education
2. Evidence of several problems with homeschooling
3. Argument against home school education practices
4. Reasons why homeschooling should be eliminated
5. Failure which is associated with homeschooling

Answer: A

32. Which of the following statements reflects a fact mentioned in either passage above?

1. Parents play a role as a private guru.
2. Sports teams are a form of social unit.
3. Children are individuals with inborn capacity.
4. Joining a social club is a matter of wish to partake.
5. Interacting with other individuals is very important.

Answer: B

33. The idea in passage B which is different from that in passage A is ….

1. Wrong assumptions on both home school education and homeschooling
2. Parents’ personal preference to a certain type of school for their children
3. The need to join social events, not diversity, that home schoolers seek
4. Parents’ limited understanding of their children’s potentials and talents
5. Thoughts that schools are a medium for individuals to socialize freely

Answer: C

34. The best summary of both passages is ….

1. There is no rational support to believe education at home and at school.
2. Parents and teachers make inaccurate evaluations on children’s talents.
3. Children are growing their ways to develop their talents and personality.
4. Schools are the right medium for socializing; yet parents are still selective.
5. Ideas of school and home school learning are wrong; yet, school is better.

Answer: C

35. If a child’s parents are not able to identify the child’s talent comprehensively, a homeschool child’s basketball talent will ….

1. Still grow insofar as he/she has the need to partake in a basketball team
2. Grow normally because somebody’s talent is not affected by anyone else
3. Never be revealed until after the right expert can reveal the child’s talent
4. Grow little and later it may stop growing at all as there is little stimulation
5. Remain undeveloped because none is able to reveal the child’s potential

Answer: A

Questions 39−42 are based on the following passage

Agroecologists do not always agree about what agroecology is or should be in the long term. Different definitions of the term agroecology can be distinguished largely by the specificity with which one defines the term “ecology”, as well as the term’s potential political connotations.

Definitions of agroecology, therefore, may be first grouped according to the specific contexts within which they situate agriculture. Agroecology is defined as “the study of the relation of agricultural crops and environment.”

This definition refers to the “-ecology” part of “agroecology” narrowly as the natural environment. Following this definition, an agroecologist would study agriculture’s various relationships with soil health, water quality, air quality, meso- and micro-fauna, surrounding flora, environmental toxins, and other environmental contexts.

A more common definition of the word can be taken from Dalgaard et al., who refer to agroecology as the study of the interactions between plants, animals, humans, and the environment within agricultural systems. Consequently, agroecology is inherently multidisciplinary, including factors from agronomy, ecology, sociology, economics, and related disciplines.

In this case, the “-ecology” portion of “agroecology” is defined broadly to include social, cultural, and economic contexts as well.

In the Global South, the term often carries overtly political connotations. Such political definitions of the term usually ascribe to it the goals of social and economic justice; special attention, in this case, is often paid to the traditional farming knowledge of indigenous populations.

North American and European uses of the term sometimes avoid the inclusion of such overtly political goals. In these, agroecology is seen more strictly as a scientific discipline with less specific social goals.

(Source: www.docstoc.com)

39. Ideas in paragraph 2 and 3 define agroecology as shown in the consecutive relation as ....

1. Political and interactive approaches
2. General and cross-authoritative sides
3. Multidisciplinary and restricted angles
4. Ecological and socio-economic viewpoints
5. Agricultural and socio-cultural perspectives

2. Do research on environmental and political loads
3. Include scientific methodology in his/her approach
