题目内容

Scott Langteau has this message for kids: Spend less time playing video games.

    It’s a message that many a mom and dad have tried to impress upon many a youngster (and some not-so-youngsters) who spend perhaps a bit too much time with game controllers in hand.

    But the 40-year-old Langteau isn’t a parent. He’s experienced at video games – one who played producer on three “Medal of Honor” games and co-founded his own game development company.

    Langteau has just published a children’s book called Sofa Boy, which tells the story of a kid who spends too much time sitting on the couch with controller held in hand and the rather terrible consequences that follow.

    It’s a fairy tale picked straight from Langteau’s own experiences as a lad with a fondness for video games and his painful struggle against game addiction. But first, Langteau would like to make one thing clear: I’m not saying that you shouldn’t play video games. I think video games are great; I think they do great things for kids. Instead, Langteau says his book is all about a little something called “moderation ”. “Anyway, you’ve got to stop before going too far.”

    “It’s all about being well rounded,” he says. “Just like with anything else, we all need to make sure that there’s a variety in what we do.”

    Video gamers can be rather bad-tempered when it comes to accepting criticism about their favorite entertainment. After all, most people who go round talking about the dangers of playing video games tend to be outsiders – people who don’t play video games and certainly don’t understand that they can be a valuable and healthy form of entertainment.

    But Langteau and Sofa Boy seem to be a unique position to deliver a message of gaming moderation that the young game masses might actually listen to. After all, this is a man who understands what it means to be a kid with passion for games. His early experience has taught him a lesson.

      A. share his great skills on games     

       B. warn kids against game addiction

      B. The book describes an experienced gamer.

      C. The boy in the book wins a medal for games.

      D. The boy in the book is not an addict on games

47. The underlined word “moderation” in paragraph 5 probably means _______.

       A. impression       B. entertainment          C. limitation        D. variety

48. What topic will be discussed in the following paragraph?

B. His great achievement in games as a kid.

C. His hard times to set up his game company.

     They found that only 36 and 37 kids respectively needed treatment   23   with an average of 67 children on "normal" weekends.

     The doctors said while   24    did keep children away from dangerous games, it could lead to a    25   in obesity.

      However they acknowledged there could be a downside to a strategy that seeks to turn

  29  children into bookworms.

  30   problems could include "an unpredictable increase in childhood obesity, ( 肥胖症 ),rickets ( 软骨病 )and loss of cardiovascular fitness ( 心血管病 ).
