Binge-watching is when a person watches more than one episode of a show in quick succession (一连串,连续). With developments in the speed and connectivity of the Internet, increases in technology and the rise of on-demand entertainment companies, people can now have their favourite shows streamed directly to their television at their convenience.
This behavior is nothing new. In fact, "binge-watching" has been officially listed in dictionaries since 2015. The entertainment companies recognize this behavior and many take steps to encourage it. Often, instead of releasing each episode on a week-by-week basis, an entire series will become available concurrently. Once the episode finishes many platforms will display pop-ups with "you might like suggestions, or will automatically play the next episode".
However, recent research suggests that out of the more than half of British adults who watch more than one episode of a show back-to-back, almost a third have admitted missing sleep or becoming tired as a result; and one quarter have neglected their household chores. Next we'll be missing work!
Bingeing has other connections—binge eating, binge drinking and binge smoking. All of them are often associated with a lack of control and a possible route to addiction. Lindsey Fussell, the consumer group director, said, "The days of waiting a week for the next episode are largely gone, with people finding it hard to resist watching multiple episodes around the house or on the move. " If people find binge-watching hard to resist, coupled with the fact that it can lead to negligence in many, are we witnessing the birth of a new type of addiction?
The information that television and online media can bring us is, many would say, a good thing. However, when the activity begins to bleed into other areas, causing us to stop functioning, then it becomes a problem. So, what's the answer? Moderation! Neither a tiny amount, nor too much. After all, as the old proverb says, "A little of what you fancy does you good. "

五、（2024·扬州模拟）阅读理解。
“刷剧”是指一个人连续观看一集以上的节目。随着互联网速度和连接性的发展、技术的进步以及按需娱乐公司的兴起，人们现在可以在方便的时候将自己喜欢的节目直接流式传输到电视上。
这种行为并不新鲜。事实上，“刷剧”自2015年起就被正式列入词典。娱乐公司认可这种行为，许多公司还采取措施鼓励这种行为。通常，一整部剧集不会一周一集地发布，而是会同时上线。一集结束后，许多平台会弹出“你可能喜欢的建议”，或者会自动播放下一集。
然而，最近的研究表明，在超过一半连续观看一集以上节目的英国成年人中，几乎三分之一的人承认因此失眠或感到疲倦；四分之一的人忽视了家务。接下来我们可能会耽误工作！
“ binge - watching（刷剧）”还有其他相关行为——暴饮暴食、酗酒和滥烟。所有这些行为通常都与缺乏控制以及可能成瘾有关。消费者组织主管林赛·富塞尔说：“等一周看下一集的日子基本上一去不复返了，人们发现在家里或在路上很难抗拒看多集的诱惑。”如果人们发现刷剧难以抗拒，再加上它会导致很多人疏忽大意，我们是否正在见证一种新型成瘾的诞生？
很多人会说，电视和在线媒体能给我们带来信息，这是一件好事。然而，当这种活动开始渗透到其他领域，导致我们无法正常行事时，它就成了一个问题。那么，解决办法是什么呢？适度！既不要太少，也不要太多。毕竟，正如那句古老的谚语所说：“你所喜爱的东西适量对你有好处。”
