“I check my e-mail almost forty times a day．”

“I seldom spend less than three hours each time on the net.”

Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction(瘾) called Internet addiction．According to experts，Internet addicts(迷)spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week．They lose control of the time they spend on the Internet．

For example，one college student was missing for several days．His friends were worried and 1ooked for him everywhere but couldn’t find him．They called the police．The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the Internet — for seven days straight．

A study shows that about six to ten percent of Internet users become addicted．The teenager spend more time on the Internet than with friends and family. That’s why some experts worry most about young people．

★You go out with your friends less and less．

★You can’t wait to get online again．

★You’ve decided to spend a short time online，but then you spend several hours．
