How often do you use the Internet? Most American teens spend a lot of time emailing friends and surfing the Internet.

　　A new study of more than 2,500 teens made by Yahoo says that more teens use the Internet than watch television. In an average week, an American teen will spend:

　　1) 16.7 hours online (not including emailing),

　　2) 13.6 hours watching TV,

　　3) 12 hours with the radio on,

　　4) 7.7 hours on the phone,

　　5) 6 hours reading books and magazines (not including school books).

　　The study says that being able to choose what you look at is the main reason teens choose the Internet over other types of media（传媒）.

　　On a typical day, an American teen can choose from over 200 cable television networks（有线电视网）, 5,500magazines, 10,500 radio stations, more than 30 million websites, and 122,000 new books.
