If someone said they would pay you 1,800 dollars to stay off social media for six years, would you do it? Could you? “I thought it was fantastic,” Simon said. “What will be offered for 6 more years?”
Lorna heard a challenge（挑战）called “16 for 16” on the radio—a mother would give her daughter 1,600 dollars if the daughter could stay off social media till 16. Lorna challenged her 12 - year - old son Simon to stay off social media until he was 18. If he could complete the challenge, she would award him the money on his eighteenth birthday. And Simon made it this year.
As a 12 - year - old child, Simon wasn’t using social media much anyway. He said, “To be honest, there was never a time when I was about to give up. The closer to the end of the challenge, the easier I felt.” He thought he was able to avoid all the unnecessary information and had more time for grades and sports instead.
As for the 1,800 dollars, Simon hasn’t thought about what to buy, but he has already decided on his first step into social media：getting a popular social media app. “I see my friends fly through their social media apps but I have to start from the very beginning,” Simon said.
After Simon’s success, Lorna shared the experience on a social media app and said it was some of the best money that she ever spent. Other parents seem interested in trying it out. “We are certainly not against social media, but it’s the healthy using of it,” Lorna noted. “It’s about not letting yourself get weighed down(被拖累）by it or addicted(有瘾的）to it.” She believes her son now has a “mature perspective(成熟的判断力）” on social media.
1. What did Simon mean by saying “What will be offered for 6 more years?” in Paragraph 1?
A. The 6 - year challenge was not too much trouble for him.
B. He felt bored of the six years’ life without social media.
C. The challenge was not fantastic enough for Simon to go on.
D. Simon wasn’t pleased with the result of only getting 1,800 dollars.
