The Internet is good. But some people spend too much time online. They can't stop. Doctors say this is a new illness（疾病）. They (call) this illness Internet Addiction Disorder（互联网成瘾症） (IAD).
People with IAD spend hours chatting with their friends or (play) games online. Many people with IAD spend (much) time on the Internet than with family or friends. Some people with IAD even quit（辞退） (they) jobs!
Do you have IAD? Think about these questions:
long are you online a day? Is it a lot a little?
When you are not online, are you thinking playing a computer game or checking your messages?
Do you get angry when you can't play a game?
If you have IAD, what should you do? Dr Ivan Goldberg and De Kimberly S. Young have some ideas. First, ask yourself, "Why am I online a lot?" Then try (take) a break. For example, use the computer or play games onceweek, not every day. In this way, you can have a good life with other (friend).
