　　“Oh, Tom! You're still playing on that computer. You must stop now, it's half past eleven. If you don't go to bed soon, you'll be very tired tomorrow.” said Mrs White.

　　“But I've nearly beaten the dragon.” said Tom. Mrs White could see the excitement(激动) on her son's face. She sat down beside him.

　　“You are always playing on that computer. You spend more time with this machine than with your family,” she said with a smile. “What's so special(特别的) about it? Show me what it can do!”

Let me show you!” Tom began tapping(敲打) keys on the keyboard(键盘). The screen changed in answer to his orders(命令).
