Question

【题目】

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. Cage

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.

文章大意：本文是Mrs Smith、Alpreesh、Cage和John四位家长，关于他们的孩子们玩电脑游戏的问题的一些方法和建议。

【1】细节理解题。根据第一栏“I worry about my boys. They waste a lot of time in front of the computer playing games.” 我担心我的孩子们。他们在电脑前玩游戏浪费了很多时间，可知，故选C。

【2】细节理解题。根据第二栏“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.” 研究表明，睡觉前玩游戏不是个好主意，因为这样会让孩子睡不好觉，而且在学习活动后玩游戏可以减轻大脑的能力。可知，故答案为B。

【3】细节理解题。根据第四栏“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).” 我个人觉得很难设定时间限制，但当他们在电脑上时，我会有一些安静的时间。我建立了一个简单的计时器程序，可以设置时间限制（比如每天1小时）可知，故答案为C。

【4】词义猜测题。根据“The program gives the kids an audible reminder like "5 minutes left", and they have to stop when their time is up.” 。这个节目给孩子们一个声音提醒，比如“还剩5分钟”，等他们的时间到了，他们就得停下来。可知，下划线的“audible”在汉语中是“听得到的”的意思。故答案为B。

【5】理解猜测题。根据“You can download it from http://www.TimesUpKids.com..com.” 你可以从http://www.TimesUpKids.com..com下载。可知，我们能在互联网上找到这段，故答案为A。

阅读理解：首先通读全文，了解大概意思。然后看问题，带着问题精读全文，同时选择答案，必要时用排除法，注意，文章中一般都会有答案，有的可以直接找到，英美人并不愿意把问题弄得太深奥，不必想得太复杂，很多都是直接了当的，千万别自己发挥想象。但不得不说，平时多积累词汇量的话，答题可能就会主动一些，有把握一些。例如，第1小题，细节理解题。根据第一栏“I worry about my boys. They waste a lot of time in front of the computer playing games.” 我担心我的孩子们。他们在电脑前玩游戏浪费了很多时间，可知，故选C。
