Read the text and answer the questions. Write complete answers. In 2005 a 19-year-old boy from Scotland received treatment to cure an addiction to sending text messages and e-mails. The teenager was sent to an addiction centre after texting about 100 times a day and getting a phone bill of £4,500 in one year. He also lost his job after sending as many as 500 e-mails a day from his office computer, many to his ex-girlfriend. She ended their relationship because he constantly sent texts and e-mailed her. The boy's doctor said that he was now trying to reduce his mobile phone spending from £60 to £10 a week. The doctor said that people should speak to friends and family if they thought they were texting or e-mailing too often. In Britain the average number of texts sent has more than doubled since 2001. Twenty-eight billion texts were sent in 2004, with 15 to 34-year-olds sending more than any other age group. An estimated 40m mobile phones are in circulation among the UK population of 55m people and some people believe that overuse of mobile phones by young children may cause long-term health problems. 1 What happened to the boy after he sent lots of e-mails from work? 2 Which age group sent the most text messages in 2004? 3 How many mobile phones are there in the UK? 4 How many text messages did the boy send every day? 5 Why may overuse of mobile phones be a problem for children? 6 What did the doctor say you should do if you think you're sending too many e-mails? 7 What was the boy addicted to? 8 Why did his girlfriend leave him?
