I worry about my boys. They waste a lot of time in front of the computer playing games. I'd rather they read or ran around outside. How can I limit(限制)the time my children spend playing games?

Mrs Smith

It might be best if you let the kids play games before doing their homework.Research shows that it's not a good idea to play them before going to bed, since they keep the kids from sleeping well, and that playing them after a learning activity can mitigate(减轻)the brain's ability.

Alpreesh

My kids are only allowed to play computer games at the end of the school week and only after they have done their homework. It's very clear to them, and they have accepted the rule happily. We have no more arguments during the week. It's really been good for us.

I personally find it difficult to set time limits but when they’re on the computer,I get some quiet time. I built and now use a simple timer program that lets me set time limits(like 1 hour each day). The program gives the kids an audible reminder like "5 minutes left", and they have to stop when their time is up. It has ended all the fighting over computer time in our house.

Last summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places, the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties.

The Forbidden City was built in 1420 in Ming Dynasty. The emperor Shunzhi of Qing Dynasty moved into it in 1644. It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers.

The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City. However, the color of the palace, itself is not purple. The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China. It was so sacred(神圣的)that the common people could not even dream of going in.

The emperors liked different kinds of activities to celebrate all the traditional festivals in the Forbidden City. During Chinese New Year, the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet. The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes. It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a common family for three generations(代).

Right now the Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world. Everyone can go in there, and it is a museum with priceless Chinese treasures in it.
