问题     Today’s grandparents are joining their grandchildren on social media. In the UK the over—55s are joining social media sites in increasing numbers, meaning that they will soon be the second biggest user group of these sites, with 3.5 million users aged 55—64 and 2.9 million over—65s.
    Sheila, aged 59, says, "I joined to see what my grandchildren are doing, as my daughter posts videos and photos of them. It’s a much better way to see what they’re doing than waiting for letters and photos in the post. That’s how we did it when I was a child, but I think I’m lucky I get to see so much more of their lives than my grandparents did."
    Unexpectedly, Sheila’s grandchildren are less likely to use social media sites themselves. Children under 17 in the UK are leaving the sites — only 2.2 million users are under 17 — but they’re not going far from their smartphones. Chloe, aged 15, even sleeps with her phone. "It’s my alarm clock, so I have to, " she says. "I look at it before I go to sleep and as soon as I wake up." Unlike her grandmother’s generation, Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. Sheila, on the other hand, has made contact with old friends from school that she has not heard from in forty years. "We use social media sites to arrange to meet all over the country, " she says. "They have changed my social life completely."
    Teenagers might have their parents to thank for their smartphone addiction (上瘾) as their parents were the early users of smartphones. Peter, 38 and a father of two teenagers, reports that he used to be on his phone or laptop constantly. "I was always connected and I felt like I was always working, " he says. "How could I tell my kids to get off their phones if I was always in front of a screen myself?" Thus, in the evenings and at weekends, he takes his SIM card out of his smartphone and puts it into an old-style mobile phone that can only make calls and send text messages. "I’m not completely cut off from the world in case of emergencies, but the important thing is that I’m setting a better example for my kids and spending more quality time with them."
From Paragraph 3, we can see that children under 17 in the UK________.
选项 A、tend to use their smartphones less
B、are less interested in social media sites
C、like to interact with their parents online
D、spend more time with their friends in real life
答案B
解析 分析选项：
本题题干中保留的主语“英国17岁以下的儿童”，翻译每个选项都要带着这个主语：
A tend to use their smartphones less英国17岁以下的儿童往往较少使用智能手机。A与原文不符。
B are less interested in social media sites英国17岁以下的儿童对于社交网站不感兴趣。
C like to interact with their parents online英国17岁以下的儿童通过网络与他们的父母保持联系。C内容没有提到。
D spend more time with their friends in real life英国17岁以下的儿童在现实生活中把更多时间花在与朋友在一起。在定位段找到friends发现Chloe’s age group is spending so much time on their phones at home that they are missing out on spending time with their friends in real life. 译文：“Chloe的年龄群体把更多时间花费在手机上而错过了与现实生活中的朋友的联系。”说明D选项与原文不符。因此只有B与原文相符，因此本题选B。
