Lea el texto y conteste las preguntas que aparecen al final. In 2005 a 19-year-old boy from Scotland received treatment to cure an addiction to sending text messages and e-mails. The teenager was sent to an addiction centre after texting about 100 times a day and getting a phone bill of 4,500 pounds in one year. He also lost his job after sending as many as 500 emails a day from his office computer, many to his ex-girlfriend. She ended their relationship because he was always sending texts and e-mailing her. The teenage boy described the excitement he got from his texting. He said, “When you look at your mobile and you´ve got a message you wonder who it could be. It´s comforting when you get one. If people don´t reply to your texts, you get angry and sad”. His doctor said that the boy was now trying to reduce his mobile phone sending from 60 to 10 pounds a week. In Britain the average number of texts sent has more than doubled since 2001. Twenty-eight billion texts were sent in 2004, with 15 to 34-year-olds sending more than any other age group. An estimated 40 million mobile phones are in circulation among the UK population of 55 million people and some people believe that overuse of mobile phones by young children may cause long-term health problems. a) What was the Scottish boy addicted to? b) How often did he send text messages? c) Why did he lose his job? 1 PRUEBA LIBRE DE GRADUADO EN EDUCACIÓN SECUNDARIA MAYO 2008 ÁREA DE COMUNICACIÓN (LENGUA EXTRANJERA INGLÉS) NOMBRE Y APELLIDOS d) How does the boy feel if people don´t reply to his texts? e) Approximately how many people in Britain do not have a mobile phone? 1´5 Puntos 2.
