On average, Chinese Internet users each spend two hours a day on social media: a total of 730 hours each year.
The average age of social media users in China in 2017 was 33.1 years old, as against 32.4 in 2016 and 31.2 in 2015.

1. What conclusion can you draw from the facts
2. How much time do you spend on social media each day What negative
effects does this have on you
We can infer from the facts that Chinese internet users spend a lot of time
on social media, negatively affecting different aspects of their lives, and that the average age of social media users in China has risen during recent years.
We spend on social medi two hours each day.
There are four negative effects of social media: ①reducing time for reading printed books; ②causing poorer eyesight; ③making our privacy and information security concerns; and ④ reducing sleep time.
It is an activity called Social Media Detox, in which students joined and shared their experience about it.

The detox raised a total of 1,632.82 for new school sports

Careful reading
Now work in pairs. Choose the person that you most identify with and give advice on what they should do next.
I think Cindy deserves credit for what she did. By going directly to a friend's house to chat, Cindy got what online media can't get - genuine communication, which is lacking online. With the development of the Internet, the communication between people is more of this kind of invisible network communication, which lacks the true feelings of the human world. So the network can not solve all problems, emotional problems, only in reality will be more real!
我认为辛迪的做法值得称赞。通过直接到朋友家去聊天，结果辛迪得到了线上媒体所得不到的---真诚交流，这是网络所缺乏的真情。随着网络的发展，人与人之间的交流，更多是这种不见面的网络沟通，这就缺少了人间真情实感。所以网络并非能解决所有问题，感情问题，只有在现实中才会更真实真切！

“Something” here refers to awareness of our addiction to social media and awareness of the importance of other things like hobbies, real contact, etc.
这里的“某事”指的是意识到我们对社交媒体的依赖，以及意识到爱好、真实接触等其他事物的重要性。
2 Do you think the detox was worthwhile Why
Think and share
I think the detox was worthwhile.
First of all, the detox allows us to spend less time online, which helps us to get rid of it and devote more energy to resuming our hobbies. For example, exercise allows us to put down the phone, take a step, and find the joy of exercise, which is better for our health. Second, the detox makes us realize the importance of real communication. Face-to-face communication is also good for genuine communication, reduces human indifference, and promotes social harmony.
我觉得脱瘾是值得的。
首先，脱瘾让我们花更少的时间上网，这有助于我们摆脱它，并投入更多的精力恢复我们的爱好。比如，运动可以让我们放下手机，迈开脚步，找到运动的乐趣，这对我们的健康更有好处。第二，脱瘾让我们意识到真实交流的重要性。面对面的交流也有利于真诚的交流，减少人与人之间的冷漠，促进社会和谐。

social media for a week

First of all, we should be aware of the negative effects of social media on our psychology and emotions, and secondly, we should set a time limit to reduce the use of social media to reduce the stress and anxiety that it brings to us. Finally, we should learn to "break away" from social media, cultivate human love, care for health, love sports, love reading and so on.
首先，要意识到社交媒体对我们心理和情绪的负面影响，其次，要设定减少社交媒体使用时限，减少对我们带来的压力和焦虑。最后，要学会和社交媒体“断舍离”，培养人间真情，爱护健康，热爱运动，热爱读书等。
