Passage One
短文一
Teachers say the digital age has had a good influence—and a not-so-good influence—on this generation of American teenagers.
教師認為數字時代對當代美國青少年有著積極的，但不是完全積極的影響。
More than 2,000 middle and high school teachers took an online survey.
超過2000名初、高中教師接受了網絡調查。
Researchers also spoke with teachers in focus groups.
調查人員還與教師進行了小組座談。
Three-quarters of the teachers said the Internet and digital search tools have had a positive effect on their students' research habits and skills.
四分之三的教師認為互聯網和搜索工具對學生的研究習慣和技巧起到了積極的作用。
But 87 percent agreed that these technologies are creating an "easily distracted generation with short attention spans."
但是87%的人認為這些新科技創造出的一代人注意力能夠保持時間變短。
And 64 percent said the technologies "do more to distract students than to help them academically."
64%的人認為比起對學生學業上的幫助這種科技更多的是令學生分心。
Many students think "doing research" now means just doing a quick search on Google.
很多學生認為“做研究”就是在谷歌上進行一次快速搜索。
Judy Buchanan is deputy director of the National Writing Project and a co-author of the report.
國家寫作計劃項目副主管朱迪·布坎南是這份報告的合著者。
She says, "Teachers really like these tools because they are ways to make some of learning exciting and engaging.
她說：“老師們非常喜歡這些工具是因為它們能讓學習變得更刺激，更有吸引力。
Young people love these tools, which can help them become creators of content, and not just sort of consumers."
年輕人喜歡這些工具是因為他們成為了網絡信息的創造者，而不僅僅是使用者。
But one problem the survey found is that many students are lacking in digital literacy.
但是這項調查發現的一個問題是很多學生缺乏信息素養。
In other words, they trust too much of the information they find on the Internet.
換句話說就是，他們太過相信網絡上的信息。
Judy Buchanan says these students have not developed the skills they need to judge the quality of online information.
朱迪·布坎南說這些學生還沒有具備判斷網絡上信息質量的能力。
Another problem is blamed on something that might not seem like a problem at all: being able to quickly find information online.
研究還發現了一個不像問題的問題，那就是在網上能夠快速找到信息。
Teachers say the result is a reduction of the desire and ability of their students to work hard to find answers.
教師們說這造成的結果是學生們努力尋求答案的欲望和能力的降低。
They say students are overly dependent on search engines and do not make enough use of printed books or research librarians.
他們說學生們過度依賴搜索引擎，不能充分利用紙質書籍和圖書管理員。
Many teachers are also concerned that the Internet makes it easy for students to copy work done by others instead of using their own abilities.
很多老師還擔心網絡更方便學生們抄襲他人的勞動成果，而不依靠自己的能力。
