查看习题详情和答案>>As computer games get to look more lifelike, it seems that their violence is spilling over into real life. It is reported that some dozens of children have been murdered since 1997, which has been linked to all obsession (着迷) with violent video games. Recently the parents of a 14-year-old murder victim in the UK blamed the killer's obsession with the game Manhunt, causing a government review of legislation (立法) to protect children.
Psychologists think there may be many reasons why violent games are more harmful to children than violent movies. Firstly, players are actively involved in violence, and may begin to see using weapons as second nature. Secondly, violent games provide repetitive aggressive (侵犯的) experiences that are rewarded by more killing.
Many studies have shown that people who play violent games regularly are more likely to show high levels of aggression. For instance, in 2000, scientists in Iowa State University found that people who played violent games were more likely to admit involvement in aggressive behaviors, including assaults (侵犯人体罪) or robberies.
A study of 13 to 14-year-old children showed that more than half had played games recommended only for over18s. The more violent the games they played, the more they considered physical aggression to be acceptable. Besides, children who play violent games are more prone (有做……倾向的) to arguing with teachers and fighting.
Experimental studies have also hinted at a possible link. In one, scientists asked a group of students to play a violent game, while another group played the nonviolent. Those who played the violent games were faster to react to aggressive words subsequently (随后) flashed on screen.

Beggars are often seen sitting under blankets with heads sadly bowed as people pass them by in Cambridge's market center．Some ask people passing by for change and some just sit and wait to be given money．A few use aggressive behavior to earn money．
To solve the problem of aggressive begging, an“alternative giving”plan has been suggested．Ten blue money boxes will be placed in busy places such as the market and the railway station．It aims to encourage people not to give money directly to beggars but instead to give generously to local homeless causes．
Supporters of this plan think it will be an effective way to solve the beggars' alcohol and drug problems．But the police oppose the plan arguing that beggars who do not receive cash may turn to criminality(犯罪)to feed their addictions．The homeless charity“Crisis”said the success of any plan will depend on its style．They think that imaginative and positive plans can help create local understanding and sympathy instead of hardness．Most of the beggars dislike the plan because they think they will not get enough money from the boxes for their showers, food, and clothes．
Begging is a big social problem both in developing and developed countries．Governments must play a big role in solving this problem．Training beggars to work and helping them to find appropriate jobs is one option．This is especially true for developing countries where many low-skill jobs exist．The general community should also be educated to see beggars not as dirty and dangerous, but as people who need understanding and help．
