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

When children are exposed to electronic devices a lot, they may face problems in psychological health. According to a research by the British Psychological Association, children who spend a lot of time using smartphones often suffer from insomnia. Sleep is very important, which helps them to develop their brains. If children lack sleep, it will greatly affect their development and learning. Long-term insomnia leads to concentration disorders and cognitive decline. Besides, children's eyes are still developing, if exposed to radiation from phones will impair vision and cause many eye diseases.

In order to limit negative impacts on children, many countries around the world have regulations to regulate children's exposure to digital devices. In Vietnam, although there have been no surveys on children using electronic devices, in fact most young children, even under 2 years old, have been exposed to television, smartphones Parents are busy so they choose to let their children watch their phones or tablets so that they can easily work, rest, or simply feed the children..

If the rule prohibiting children from using phones is applied to the law, it will cause controversy. Therefore, careful discussion is needed, especially consulting experiences in countries that have successfully applied it in the world or repuuibile organizations such as WHO. In addition, it is necessary to have the opinions of experts in engineering, psychology, rehabilitation, occupational therapy, etc.

When children are addicted to smart mobile devices, they need to be gradually separated from the gadgets. Most importantly, parents must "invest" in their relationship with their children by talking more. Parents need to set an example ani not use electronic devices in front of their children. Instead, spend time playing with your child like doing puzzles, reading books, participating in physical activities, or doing housework with your child
