Many people still remember they often played games likehide-and-seek（捉迷藏）and chess when they were young. Playing games teaches children how to get along with others, and it also helps to exercise their minds and bodies. However, children today spend most of their time in front of the computer playing video games.A recent survey found that in the US, children between 8 and 12 spend at least 13 hours a week playing video games or “gaming”. Among them, boys of this age spend even more time a lmost 16 hours a week. Although some people will say that gaming is helpful, it brings many problems as well.One big problem is that kids who spend most of their time on games might have difficulty communicating（交流）with real people. They might have trouble sharing and solving（解决）problems because they do not practice those skills when sitting alone at a computer.Another problem is about health. Game players usually sit for hours without doing any exercise. And they might not eat healthily. As a result, they might be out of shape.Next, game players might have trouble with their lessons. Many of them spend more time playing games than working on their homework. In the end, they fail in the exams.Finally, it is always possible that the gamers become addicted. Some people play four or five hours a day or even all day. This happened to a 28-year-old Korean man. He spent about 50 hours playing an online game without sleeping or eating well. As a result, he died while gaming! This is one example of the dangers of video gaming. It tells us that video gaming, like everything else, should not be done too much. A few hours a week should not hurt, but several hours a day just might be dangerous to your health.( ) 61. How many problems about playing video games are mentioned in the passage？A. TwoB. ThreeC. FourD. Five( ) 62. In the author’s opinion,A. Video gaming has quite a lot of advantages(优点)B. Video gaming might be a dangerous thingC. Childhood is a time of fun and gamesD. Children should learn how to get along with others.( ) 63. According to the survey, ______.A. children between 8 and 12 like playing games mostB. every boy spends 16 hours a week playing gamesC. the American children’s current situatio n（当前状况）is worryingD. playing games is very useful though it might cause many problems( ) 64.The word “addicted” in the last paragraph means someone _______.A.is independent（独立的）in somethingB. is lost in somethingC. becomes interested in something.D. always remembers to do something( ) 65.Which one is TRUE about this passage?A. Playing video games always helps to exercise kids’ minds and bodies.B. The survey testifies（证明）playing games too much can cause some problemsC. Playing video games would surely cause communicative and health difficultiesD. The Korean man’s example shows that playing video games has no good.CMr. Harris taught sixth-grade science. On the first day of class, he gave us a talk about an animal called “birdcat”, which died out during the Ice Age. He passed around a skull（颅骨）as he talked. We all took notes carefully and later we had a test.When he returned my paper the next day, there was a big red “X” through each of my answers. I had failed（失败）! There had to be some mistake! I had written down exactly what Mr. Harris said. Then I learned that everyone in the class had failed. What had happened?“Very simple,” Mr. Harris said. He had made up all that “birdcat” “There had never been any such animal. The information in our notes was incorrect（不正确的）. Did you think you would get good marks for incorrect answers?”Needless to say, w e felt that was unfair. What kind of a test was this? And what kind of a teacher?“We should have figured it out.” Mr. Harris said. Aft er all, at the very moment he was passing around the “birdcat” skull, in truth a cat’s, hadn’t he been telling us no other findings about this animal except the skull? He had told us many unbelievable things about the animal, such as the size, the color, the strength… but none of us had questioned.Mr Harris said he hoped we would learn something from this lesson. Teachers and textbooks are not always correct. In fact no one is. He told us not to let our minds go to sleep and to speak up if we ever thought he or the textbook was wrong.Up to now I haven’t made any great scientific discoveries , but Mr. Harris’s class gave me and my classmates something just as important: To look people in the eye and tell them they are wrong.( )66. “Figure it out”should mean “__________”.A. think and find it outB. answer itC. draw it outD. learn and turn it out( )67. I failed in the science test because_________.A. I didn’t answer all the questio nsB. I didn’t answer the paper according to what Mr. Harris said.C. the information in my answers was wrong.D. Mr. Harris made some mistake.( )68. Which of the following statements is WRONG?A. There is no an animal called “birdcat”, whi ch died out during the Ice Age.B. The information that Mr. Harris gave in the class was incorrect.C. Mr. Harris told us many amazing things about “birdcat”.D. Mr. Harris showed the class a skull of a birdcat’s.( )69. We can learn from this passage that__________.A. Mr. Harris was the only person who found the animal ‘birdcat’B. Mr. Harris used a cat’s skull instead of a birdcat’s because they were the same.C. We should be brave to speak out against what we don’t believe.D. Teachers and textbooks are usually incorrect.( )70. Which would be the best title for this passage?A. An unforgettable Test.B.
