“They’re harming your brain.” “They’re ruining your eyes.” “They’re turning you into a violent person.” The words said publicly against video games are so common, but are these worries founded on actual science? Countless studies have offered different opinions on whether video games are bad for you. We’ve rounded up the most notable reports and studies below, so you can weigh up the evidence for yourself.
In 2013,psychologist(心理学家) Simone Kuhn studied the influences of spending long hours on video games on the brains of young adults and found that several areas became bigger than before. These areas are connected with highercognitive functions(认知功能), memory formation andfinemotor(精细运动) function.
Last year, psychologists said that video game players who favour violent games are more likely to be violent when offline. Dr. Mark Appelbaum of the American Psychological Association said that there was a relation between violent video game use and increases in violent behaviour.
Dr. Daphne Bavelier is an expert in the field of Brain & Cognitive Sciences. Bavelier presented the audience with a colour-word test, where non-gamers are easily puzzled by the test, and those who spend long periods playing on their computers are more likely to pass the test with flying colours.
“Actually, those video game players have many other advantages in terms of attention,” said Bavelier, “and one part of attention which is also improved for the better is our ability to follow the movements of objects.”
“So, in a sense, when we think about the influence of video games on the brain, it’s very similar to the influence of wine on the health. There are some very poor uses of wine. There are some very poor uses of video games. But when drunk in reasonable amounts, and at the right age, wine can be very good for health,” said Bavelier.
4. What can be learned from Simone Kuhn’s study? A. Video games make you happier. B. Video games make your brain grow. C. Video games play a key role in memory. D. Video games teach you how to learn fast.
5. What was Dr. Mark Appelbaum’s attitude towards video games?
A. He was against them. B. He was hopeful of them. C.He was in favour of them. D. He was uncertain about them. 6. Which of the following may Dr. Daphne Bavelier agree with? A. Video games fix attention problems. B. Video games make kids do well in exams. C. Video games encourage violent behaviour. D. Video games help increase colour knowledge.
7. Why are the uses of wine mentioned in the last paragraph? A. To remind people to avoid video games. B. To show the disadvantages of video games. C. To help people learn more about video games. D.To ask people to make good use of video games.
C
Until quarantine (隔离期) ends, we are left picturing what sport we might do: working out at the gym, playing on a competitive sports team, swimming, biking, or rock climbing. However, we don’t often think of martial arts as possible activities; instead, we rule it out because we think it’s dangerous, uncommon, and even, impossible. Martial arts aren’t considered a sport, right?
Well, here’s some good news: you’re wrong! Martial arts aren’t much more common than people think, and you can start learning at any age. Practicing martial arts is a great way to keep in shape, both physically and mentally. They’re much less boring and much lessarduoussport than they’re usually described as in movies, so do not worry that they need a lot of effort.
Martial arts generally require you to focus on the position and movement of every one of your legs and arms, sometimes even your breathing too. Think about it: when you leave the gym, your mental state has improved and you are much calmer. This is because you’ve only paid attention to one activity. It is a great way to clear your head. Andpracticing it can help you learn to stay more focused, which is the greatest advantage of martial arts training.
Martial arts also improve your coordination (协调性), and greatly improve your posture (姿势). I have personally seen students go from slouching (没精打采) to walking tall with their shoulders back in just a couple of months.
There are many styles and countless kinds of martial arts. Whichever one you like better, know that all of them are good choices.
8. What can we know about martial arts from the first two paragraphs? A. They often have people hurt. B. They are difficult to practice. C. People have a wrong view on it. D. People practice them more often. 9. What does the underlined word “arduous” in paragraph 2 mean?
A. Interesting. B. Difficult. C. Friendly. D. Exciting. 10. What is the biggest benefit of practicing martial arts?
A. Adjusting the breath. B. Enjoying one’s free time. C. Correcting the movement. D. Keeping one’s attention. 11. What does the writer think of martial arts? A. They are notsports.
B. They attracted many teenagers. C. They are beneficial and helpful. D. They were invented to protect others.
D
First grader Gavin Clampett was diagnosed(诊断) with Tourette’s Syndrome at the age of five. Due to the neurological(神经的) disorder, he always experiences a variety of sudden uncontrolled movements and sounds.
The uncontrollable actions mean that he often gets dirty looks from strangers in public and kids make cruel comments on the school bus and in class. In an effort to prevent the unkind comments, Gavin’s mother, 32yearold Rebecca Clampett helped him make a video with his sister Brynn, nine, and played it to pupils at his school to help them understand the condition.
In the video, which Rebecca also shared on YouTube, Gavin’s sister Brynn starts by answering the question “What is Tourette’s Syndrome?” She explains, “It is a neurological disorder, which means it affects the brain so that a person makes unwanted movements. These are called tics(抽搐), but not like a tic that is found outside. These tics can be very noticeable or not very noticeable, quiet or loud.”
School can be hard for all kids. That canbe even harder for children like Gavin because they have to face people who laugh at them every single day. “I feel like my brother and every other kid who has Tourette’s Syndrome are brave. So be kind to them and don’t treat them differently because they are just like you”, Brynn says in the video.
Gavin concludes, “Everyone could play with someone. Some people think I can’t because I’m different but actually I can. Some are afraid that I will say dirty words, but actually I won’t. The disease bothers me a little, but
I’m OK.”
12. What can we know about Tourette’s Syndrome? A. It can be treated with drugs. B. It is usually found at an early age. C. People with it will say dirty words.
D. People with it can make uncontrolled sounds. 13. Because of the disease, others often _________. A. take pity on Gavin B. give a hand to Gavin C. keep away from Gavin D. look down upon Gavin 14. In the video, Gavin’s sister __________. A. explains her brother’s disease B. expresses her love for her brother C. complains about unkind comments D. encourages others to donate money 15. What can be used to best describe Gavin? A. Lucky. B. Helpless. C. Optimistic. D. Stubborn.

My classmates and I was to graduate the next month. We were determined to do something. Before a heated discussion, we decided on making a video to record our experiences at school.
It took us a whole week to collect materials, during that time we interviewed our teachers and took photo of every aspect of school life. The editing part was not easily. We discussed what to put it into the video. Although we had difficulty in do this, the video turned out perfect. Several days late, when the video was played at the graduation ceremony, it was well received. The teachers and students share a great time. That surely gave us sense of achievement.
