第二部分：手寫題
I. Translation (10%)

請將下列中文段落翻譯成英文：

處於數位原生時代的形塑期，社群媒體已蛻變為建構自我認同的樞紐，卻也對青少年的心理韌性構成了嚴峻的挑戰。心理學家警告，網路平台上充斥著高度精選且虛擬化的現實，易促使學生陷入無止盡的「社會比較」陷阱，進而誘發深層的焦慮與自我懷疑。此外，由演算法驅動的即時回饋機制，雖能帶來短暫的感官愉悅，卻也導致注意力的碎片化，甚至埋下數位成癮的隱憂。面對網路霸凌與社交孤立的潛在威脅，教育者必須引導學生培養敏銳的媒體識讀素養，以辨識虛擬空間中的認知偏見。唯有在科技便利與心理健全之間取得細膩的平衡，學生方能於紛雜的數位網絡中，建立穩固的內在秩序，並重拾對現實生活的自主權。
