问题    Internet use appears to cause a drop in psychological health, according to a research at Carnegie Mellon University.
   Even people who spent just a few hours a week on the Internet experienced more bad feelings and loneliness than those who was online less frequently, the two-year study showed. Researchers are puzzling over the results, which were completely contrary to their expectations. They expected that the Net would prove socially healthier than television, since the Net allows users to choose their information and to communicate with others.
   The fact that Internet use reduces time available for family and friends may account for the drop in psychological health, researchers hypothesized(推测). Faceless, bodiless "virtual" (虚的)communication may be less psychologically satisfying than actual conversation, and the relationships formed through it may be shallower. Another possibility is that exposure to the wider world through the Net makes users less satisfied with their lives.
   " But it’ s important to remember this is not about the technology, it’ s about how it is used, " says psychologist Christine Riley of Intel, one of the study’ s sponsors (发起人). " It really points to the need for considering social factors in terms of how you design applications and services for technology. "
What had the researchers expected before the research?
选项 A、The Net may account for the drop in psychological health.
B、Internet use may improve social health.
C、Internet use has nothing to do with social health.
D、Spending much time on the Internet makes people feel bad and lonely.
答案B
解析 细节题。根据文章第二段最后一句可知，研究者本来预计网络比电视更能促进社会健康，所以选项B(网络可能会增强社会健康)符合题意。选项A(网络可能导致心理健康水平下降)和选项D(在网上花太多的时间使人感觉糟糕和孤独)是研究结果，不是预期结果。选项C(网络和社会健康没有任何关系)不符合文章内容。故本题选B。
