问题     Do your children lie to you and their friends about their activities online? Do they feel empty, depressed and irritable when not at the computer? Do they have problems with school or work, yet they always seem to feel energized again when they are at the computers surfing the internet? If you answered "yes" to one or even more of the above questions, your children are suffering from internet addiction. The amount of time kids spend online is a source of headaches for many parents. At first, parents welcomed the Internet into their homes, believing they were opening up an exciting new world of educational opportunities for their children. But soon, to their disappointment, instead of using the Internet for homework or research, their kids were spending hours instant chatting with friends, playing online games or even talking to strangers in chat rooms, which is posing real dangers to the children.
    Maintaining a healthy balance between entertainment media and other activities in children’s lives has always been a challenge for parents. The Internet has made this challenge even more difficult. The engaging nature of Internet communications and interactive games means many children and teens have trouble controlling the time they spent online.
    Unfortunately, parents and teachers do not realize that there is a problem until it becomes serious. To make it worse, Internet addiction is not widely recognized by the medical community. (Mental health practitioners continue to debate whether this behavior is an "addiction," with some preferring to identify it as "behavior control problems.
    Children and young people can easily become "hooked" on online activities such as multi-user games, instant messaging with their pals and chat rooms. The children most easily influenced, according to the Computer-Addiction Services at Harvard Medical School, are those who are "lonely and bored or from families where nobody is at home to relate to after school."
    Children who are unpopular or shy with peers are often attracted to the opportunities for creating new identities in online communities. Boys, in particular, are frequent users of online role-playing games, where they have new identities and interact with other players. Although playing these games with thousands of other users may appear to be a social activity, for the troubled child or teen, too much playing can further separate them from friends and peers.
What seems to make the situation of internet addiction worse?
选项 A、Parents and teachers’ failure to be aware of this problem.
B、Medical hasn’t advanced in such a way to treat the problem of internet addiction.
C、Behavior control problems do not include internet addiction at current clinics and hospitals.
D、Some doctors tend to exclude internet addiction from the "addiction" lists.
答案D
解析 细节题；题干的主体成分是“What makes the situation worse”从原文可以看到“To make it worse”这样的同义表达，所以我们需要找到的是和“Internet addiction is not widely recognized by the medical community．”具有类似含义的句子，选项中D具有这样的意思，为正确选项。A和原文中第三段首句的表达非常类似，但这不是文章中所说的导致问题恶化的因素，干扰性比较大。B和C都是利用原文的具体细节信息在借题发挥，他们分别在原文的“medical”和“behavior control problems”的基础上进行偏离文章内容的肆意发挥，均为干扰选项，要排除他们的难度不大。
