Millennials （千禧一代） may have been the first generation to come of age online,but their Gen Z successors （接替者） have truly grown up with it — and hardly ever log off.
A 2018 Pew Research Center survey found that 95 percent of teenagers have access to a smart phone；45 percent say they use the Internet almost constantly.For many of them,social media has been a space for self-expression,entertainment and connection.
But as social media use has risen among teenagers,so have rates of depression,and anxiety.Though it is not a direct relationship,there is evidence that some platforms have worsened young people's mental health issues；for instance,research documents from social media showed that Instagram worsened body-image issues for one in three teenage girls.
A March 2022 study published in the scientific journal Nature found that the relationship between social media use and mental health varied by age,but that there were two windows where social media use was more likely to have a negative effect on the well-being of adolescents：at the start of puberty （青春期） and again around age 19.
Emma Lembke,a 19-year-old student at Washington University in St.Louis,experienced those negative effects firsthand.That's why she started the Log Off Movement in June 2020.The project aims to encourage dialogue among young people who are feeling the negative effects of social media and want to adjust their relationship to it.In a phone interview,Ms.Lembke spoke about the movement she started,the upsides and downsides of social media,and how she has worked to loosen its hold on her well-being.

C. A 26-year-old journalist. D. A 40-year-old manager.
(3) Why did Lembke start the Log Off Movement？______
A. To draw attention of the public.
