Which of the following sentences is acceptable?

1. According to a statistics which shows that lots of junior high school students increase their time on surfing the Net.
2. According to the statistics, we discovered that lots of junior high school students increase their time to surf the Net.
3. According to a statistics, lots of junior high school students increase spending their time on surfing the Net.

None of them is acceptable I'm afraid. Try this: "According to statistics, junior high school students are spending an increasing amount of time surfing the Net."
