Text 5. What Are the Negative Social Effects of Computer Addiction?

Like any other addict, computer addicts can suffer from a variety of harmful side effects from their obsessive behavior. The most common and evident negative side effect revolves around the addict’s social life. Most computer addicts will completely withdraw from their friends and family so they can have more time to spend on the computer, whether e-mailing, chatting, viewing pornography or playing games. Ultimately, the addicts will almost always completely withdraw from their real social world and delve deeper into their cyber world. Gamers, especially, can begin to consider things happening in their virtual gamer’s world as more important than anything in their real lives. Many times these addicts will end up having trouble navigating real social situations.

Text 6. What Is Lava?

Lava is the molten or melted rock that is forced from volcanoes and cracks within the Earth’s surface, as well as what is left behind once it cools and hardens. Cooled lava has formed many mountains and island chains, and much of it eventually becomes lush and productive soil. Lava is made up of mostly silicon dioxide, and geologists believe magma (the term used to describe the molten rock deep within the Earth) is created under extreme pressure and temperatures at great depths below the Earth’s crust. When a volcano erupts, molten rock is forced up through the Earth’s crust and expelled out as lava, which can reach temperatures as high as 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit (1,200 degrees Celsius).
