2．Games are fun．After hours of homework it's great to relax by playing a game．But do games ever do kids any harm （害处）？And are there any ways parents can help kids stay away from bad games？The US researchers are trying to find solutions to these problems．
They studied what video games could do to children．The researchers found game sellers had made big changes to make sure the games didn't harm kids．And they suggested that work should be done to find out if video games affected children's school work and health．
One problem found was that parents hadn't taken enough notice of their kids'game-playing habits．
"Many game sellers put control （控制键） on the games to help parents make sure that children don't play games unsuitable for them，"said David Walsh，the president （院长） of the National Institute on Media and the Family．Parents should watch the games kids are playing and know how much time they are spending playing them．
The study found that playing games too long could affect kids'health as well as their school work．Almost half of all"heavy garners"were six to seventeen years old．These kids were more likely to have weight and eyesight problems than other kids．Playing too many games also affected how children did at school．

1．My interest in Chinese food started many years ago，when I had my first job．I was a young reporter for the Daily Journal in San Francisco．Our office wasn't far from Chinatown．I usually managed to arrange my time so that I could go there at least two or three times a week for a good meal．
When I ever ate Chinese food the first time，I loved it．And since then，it just tastes better and better to me．The first thing I noticed was the fresh tastes of the meat and vegetables．When I learned more about the food，I began to understand why it has this special feature．
About 5000years ago，China lost much of its wood because of over population and poor management of its forest．This loss was very bad for the country，of course，but it turned out to be very good for the food．Wood became very expensive and hard to get，so the Chinese had to learn how to use it better．
In order to use less wood in cooking，they started to cut their meat and vegetables into small pieces before they put them in the hot oil．That way，the food cooked faster and they saved their fuel．The food prepared in this manner kept its fresh flavor（风味）-and it's this flavor that attracts people to the art of Chinese cooking．
I often wonder if the Chinese appreciated their solution to that ancient energy problem as much as I do now-whenever I eat Chinese food．

16．I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of it．Mother sat writing letters．Standing by her chair，looking at the ink bottle，pens，and white paper，I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world．
Years later，during her final illness，Mother kept different things for my sister and brother．"But the desk，"she said again，"is for Elizabeth．"
I never saw her angry，never saw her cry．I knew she loved me； she showed in action．But as a young girl．I wanted to have heart-to-hear talks between mother and daughter．
They never happened．And a gulf opened between us．I was"too emotional（易动感情的）"But she lived"on the surface（表面）"．
As years passed and I had my own family．I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family．I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me．
My hope turned to disappointment，then little interested and，finally，peace---it seemed that nothing happened．I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother．I only knew that I had written it，and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not．
But the present of her desk told me，as she'd never been able to，that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work．I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside---a photo of my father and a one---paper letter，fold（折叠）and refolded many times．It was my letter．
"In any way you choose，Mother，you always chose the act that speaks louder than words．"
