Facebook users spend an average of more than 15 hours a month on the social networking site. While there are plenty who caution against such intensive use — and there are a number of studies detailing the harm Facebook could potentially cause — there also are lots of reports extolling the site's virtues. As the social media giant prepares for its upcoming initial public offering, here are some ways Facebook just might be good for you.

Spending time on Facebook can help people relax, slow down their heart rate and decrease stress levels, according to researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Milan. In a study published earlier this year, researchers studied 30 students and found that a natural high was sparked when they were on the social media network that led to the relaxed heart rates and lower levels of stress and tension. In the study, the students were monitored in three situations: looking at panoramic landscapes, performing complicated mathematical equations and using Facebook. While the first situation was the most relaxing to students and the math problems were the most stressful, the time on Facebook uncovered high levels of attractiveness and arousal. The findings support the researchers' hypothesis that Facebook's success, as well as that of other social media networks, correlates to the specific positive mental and physical state users experience.

While many may argue that social media networks only distract employees, research shows the opposite may be true. Research from Keas.com found that a 10-minute Facebook break makes employees happier, healthier and more productive. The study examined workers in three groups: one that was allowed no breaks, one that was allowed to do anything but use the Internet and one that was allowed 10 minutes to use the Internet and Facebook. The Facebook group was found to be 16 percent more productive than the group that was not allowed to use the Internet and nearly 40 percent more productive than the group that was allowed no breaks. "Short and unobtrusive breaks, such as a quick surf on the Internet, enables the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher net total concentration for a day's work, and as a result, increased productivity," said Brent Coker of the department of management and marketing at the University of Melbourne in Australia.

Facebook is also in the business of matchmaking. Research shows that nearly 60 percent of singles will friend someone new on Facebook after meeting them in person. If they like what they see, 25 percent are likely to contact their new love interest via Facebook. Once the courting is over, nearly 40 percent of those social networking adults will update their relationship status on Facebook, with just 24 percent telling their friends first. Facebook use between couples will continue through the dating process, the research shows. Throughout the day, 79 percent of couples said they send partners Facebook messages or chat on the social network. In addition, more than 60 percent would post romantic messages on their significant other's Facebook wall. When the relationship ends, more than half of those surveyed immediately update their status to single, which automatically sends out a notification to their friend list to start the dating cycle over again.

Người dùng Facebook dành trung bình hơn 15 giờ một tháng trên trang mạng xã hội. Trong khi có rất nhiều người phản đối việc sử dụng quá nhiều như vậy - và có một số nghiên cứu chi tiết về sự tổn hại mà Facebook có thể gây ra - có rất nhiều báo cáo đã làm nổi bật được các lợi ích của trang web này. Vì mạng xã hội khổng lồ này chuẩn bị cho đợt chào bán công khai ban đầu sắp tới, dưới đây là một số lợi ích mà Facebook có thể mang lại cho bạn, Dành thời gian trên Facebook có thể giúp mọi người thư giãn, làm chậm nhịp tim và giảm mức độ căng thẳng. Theo các nhà nghiên cứu từ Viện Công nghệ Massachusetts và Đại học Milan. Trong một nghiên cứu được công bố đầu năm nay, các nhà nghiên cứu đã nghiên cứu 30 sinh viên và thấy rằng một sự thích thủ tự nhiên đã được tạo ra khi họ ở trên mạng truyền thông xã hội dẫn đến nhịp tim thoải mái và mức độ căng thẳng thấp hơn. Trong nghiên cứu, các sinh viên được theo dõi trong ba tình huống: nhìn ngắm toàn cảnh phong cảnh, thực hiện các phương trình toán học phức tạp và sử dụng Facebook. Trong khi tình huống đầu tiên là thư giãn nhất cho sinh viên và các vấn đề toán học là căng thắng nhất, thời gian trên Facebook lại tạo ra mức độ hấp dẫn và sự kích thích cao. Những phát hiện này ủng hộ giả thuyết của các nhà nghiên cứu rằng sự thành công của Facebook, cũng như của các mạng truyền thông xã hội khác, tương quan với trải nghiệm tích cực cụ thể về tâm thần và thể chất của người dùng.

Trong khi nhiều người cho rằng các mạng truyền thông xã hội chỉ làm sao nhãng nhân viên, thì nghiên cứu cho thấy điều ngược lại có thể đúng. Nghiên cứu từ Keas.com phát hiện ra rằng 10 phút nghỉ ngơi trên Facebook khiến cho nhân viên hạnh phúc hơn, khỏe mạnh và hiện quả hơn. Nghiên cứu này khảo sát công nhân trong ba nhóm: một nhóm không được phép nghỉ, một nhóm được phép làm bất cứ điều gì trừ sử dụng Internet và một nhóm được phép sử dụng Internet và

Facebook trong 10 phút. Nhóm sử dụng Facebook được nhận thấy có hiệu suất cao hơn 16% so với nhóm không được phép sử dụng Internet và gần 40% hiện quả hơn nhóm không được phép nghỉ giải lao. "Nghỉ giải lao ngắn và nhẹ nhàng, chẳng hạn như lướt web nhanh trên internet, cho phép tâm trí tự nghỉ ngơi, dẫn đến sự tập trung cao hơn cho công việc trong một ngày, và kết quả là, tăng năng suất”, Brent Coker thuộc khoa quản lý và tiếp thị tại Đại học Melbourne ở Úc cho biết.

Facebook cũng là một lĩnh vực mai mối. Nghiên cứu cho thấy gần 60 % người độc thân sẽ kết bạn với một người mới trên Facebook sau khi gặp họ trực tiếp. Nếu họ thích những gì họ thấy, 25 % có khả năng liên hệ với mối quan tâm tình yêu mới của họ thông qua Facebook. Khi sự tán tỉnh đã kết thúc, gần 40% những người lớn sử dụng mạng xã hội sẽ cập nhật trạng thái mối quan hệ của họ trên Facebook, chỉ với 24% người sử dụng sẽ nói với bạn bè của họ trước tiên. Các nghiên cứu cho thấy việc sử dụng Facebook giữa các cặp vợ chồng sẽ tiếp tục thông qua quá trình hẹn hò. Trong suốt cả ngày, 79% các cặp vợ chồng cho biết họ gửi tin nhắn Facebook cho người bạn đời hoặc trò chuyện trên mạng xã hội. Ngoài ra. hơn 60% sẽ đăng thông điệp lãng mạn trên tường Facebook của người quan trọng của họ. Khi mối quan hệ kết thúc, hơn một nửa số người

được khảo sát ngay lập tức cập nhật trạng thái của họ thành độc thân, tự động gửi thông báo đến danh sách bạn bè của họ để bắt đầu lại chu kỳ hẹn hò.

The study examined workers in three groups: one that was allowed no breaks, one that was allowed to do anything but use the Internet and one that was allowed 10 minutes to use the Internet and Facebook. The Facebook group was found to be 16 percent more productive than the group that was not allowed to use the Internet and nearly 40 percent more productive than the group that was allowed no breaks. "Short and unobtrusive breaks, such as a quick surf on the Internet, enables the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher net total concentration for a day's work, and as a result, increased productivity," said Brent Coker of the department of management and marketing at the University of Melbourne in Australia.

Facebook is also in the business of matchmaking. Research shows that nearly 60 percent of singles will friend someone new on Facebook after meeting them in person. If they like what they see, 25 percent are likely to contact their new love interest via Facebook. Once the courting is over, nearly 40 percent of those social networking adults will update their relationship status on Facebook, with just 24 percent telling their friends first. Facebook use between couples will continue through the dating process, the research shows. Throughout the day, 79 percent of couples said they send partners Facebook messages or chat on the social network. In addition, more than 60 percent would post romantic messages on their significant other's Facebook wall. When the relationship ends, more than half of those surveyed immediately update their status to single, which automatically sends out a notification to their friend list to start the dating cycle over again.

Facebook users spend an average of more than 15 hours a month on the social networking site. While there are plenty who caution against such intensive use — and there are a number of studies detailing the harm Facebook could potentially cause — there also are lots of reports extolling the site's virtues. As the social media giant prepares for its upcoming initial public offering, here are some ways Facebook just might be good for you.

Spending time on Facebook can help people relax, slow down their heart rate and decrease stress levels, according to researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Milan. In a study published earlier this year, researchers studied 30 students and found that a natural high was sparked when they were on the social media network that led to the relaxed heart rates and lower levels of stress and tension. In the study, the students were monitored in three situations: looking at panoramic landscapes, performing complicated mathematical equations and using Facebook. While the first situation was the most relaxing to students and the math problems were the most stressful, the time on Facebook uncovered high levels of attractiveness and arousal. The findings support the researchers' hypothesis that Facebook's success, as well as that of other social media networks, correlates to the specific positive mental and physical state users experience.

While many may argue that social media networks only distract employees, research shows the opposite may be true. Research from Keas.com found that a 10-minute Facebook break makes employees happier, healthier and more productive. The study examined workers in three groups: one that was allowed no breaks, one that was allowed to do anything but use the Internet and one that was allowed 10 minutes to use the Internet and Facebook.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the question.

Mark Zuckerberg was born in 1984, in New York, into a prosperous, professional family. He developed an interest in computers at an early age and when he was twelve, he created a messaging program which he named "Zucknet". His dentist father used it in his surgery so that his receptionist could inform him of the arrival of a patient without yelling across the room. Together with his friends, Mark spent much of his spare time as a boy designing and making computer games just for fun.

In 2002, Mark enrolled at Harvard University. By his second year at the institution, he had acquired a reputation on the campus as a developer of software. It was at that time he invented "Facemash" which compared pictures of female students and allowed users to vote on which one was the most attractive. The program became very popular on campus, but was later shut down by the university authorities who deemed it 'inappropriate'.

Based on the buzz of "Facemash", three of Mark's fellow students, Divya Narendra, and twins, Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss, asked him to work with them on an idea for a social networking site called "Harvard Connection". This site was designed to use information from Harvard's student networks to create a dating site for the university's elite. Mark was initially enthusiastic about the complex project but boredom soon set in

and he backed out of it to work on his own social networking site. He created a site that allowed users to produce their own profiles, upload photos, and communicate with other people beyond the confines of the university. He called the site "Facebook" and he operated from one small college room until June 2004 when he finally abandoned his studies to devote himself fully to Facebook and moved the company to California. By the end of 2004, Facebook had one million users and Mark was climbing high.

The Facebook social network developed at Harvard ______.

A. was a collaborative project with other students

B. could only be accessed by Harvard students

C. became Mark's full-time job after completing university

D. became really successful after June 2004

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 34.

As heart disease continues to be the number-one killer in the United States, researchers have become increasingly interested in identifying the potential risk factors that trigger heart attacks. High-fat diets and „life in the fast lane” have long been known to contribute to the high incidence of heart failure. But according to new studies, the list of risk factors may be significantly longer and quite surprising.

Heart failure, for example appears to have seasonal and temporal patterns. A higher percentage of heart attacks occur in cold weather, and more people experience heart failure on Monday than on any other day of the week. In addition, people are more susceptible to heart attacks in the first few hours after waking. Cardiologists first observed this morning phenomenon in the mid-1980s and have since discovered a number of possible causes. An early-morning rise in blood pressure, heart rate, and concentration of heart-stimulating hormones, plus a reduction of blood flow to the heart, may all contribute to the higher incidence of heart attacks between the hours of 8:00 A.M and 10 A.M.

In other studies, both birthdays and bachelorhood have been implicated as risk factors. Statistics reveal that heart attack rates increase significantly for both females and males in the few days immediately preceding and following their birthdays. And unmarried men are more at risk for heart attacks than their married counterparts. Though stress is thought to be linked in some way to all of the aforementioned risk factors, intense research continues in the hope of further comprehending why and how heart failure is triggered.

The phrase “susceptible to” could best be replaced by 

A. aware of

B. affected by

C. prone to 

D. accustomed
