“They’re harming your brain.” “They’re ruining your eyes.” “They’re turning you into a violent person.” The words said publicly against video games are so common, but are these worries founded on actual science? Countless studies have offered different opinions on whether video games are bad for you. We’ve rounded up the most notable reports and studies below, so you can weigh up the evidence for yourself.
In 2013,psychologist(心理学家) Simone Kuhn studied the influences of spending long hours on video games on the brains of young adults and found that several areas became bigger than before. These areas are connected with highercognitive functions(认知功能), memory formation andfinemotor(精细运动) function.
Last year, psychologists said that video game players who favour violent games are more likely to be violent when offline. Dr. Mark Appelbaum of the American Psychological Association said that there was a relation between violent video game use and increases in violent behaviour.
Dr. Daphne Bavelier is an expert in the field of Brain & Cognitive Sciences. Bavelier presented the audience with a colour-word test, where non-gamers are easily puzzled by the test, and those who spend long periods playing on their computers are more likely to pass the test with flying colours.
“Actually, those video game players have many other advantages in terms of attention,” said Bavelier, “and one part of attention which is also improved for the better is our ability to follow the movements of objects.”
“So, in a sense, when we think about the influence of video games on the brain, it’s very similar to the influence of wine on the health. There are some very poor uses of wine. There are some very poor uses of video games. But when drunk in reasonable amounts, and at the right age, wine can be very good for health,” said Bavelier.
4. What can be learned from Simone Kuhn’s study？
A. Video games make you happier.
B. Video games make your brain grow.
C. Video games play a key role in memory.
D. Video games teach you how to learn fast.
5. What was Dr. Mark Appelbaum’s attitude towards video games？
A. He was against them.
B. He was hopeful of them.
C.He was in favour of them.
D. He was uncertain about them.
6. Which of the following may Dr. Daphne Bavelier agree with？
A. Video games fix attention problems.
B. Video games make kids do well in exams.
C. Video games encourage violent behaviour.
D. Video games help increase colour knowledge.
7. Why are the uses of wine mentioned in the last paragraph？
A. To remind people to avoid video games.
B. To show the disadvantages of video games.
C. To help people learn more about video games.
D.To ask people to make good use of video games.

The Nez Perce Indians are a tribe that lived in the Pacific Northwest of theUnited States. At the time of the Lewis and Clark expedition (探险队) , which was one of the first journeys by Americans from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast and back again, the Nez Perce territory (领土) covered about 17 million acres, covering parts of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Butthat was a brief sweet history.
In September 1805, when Lewis and Clark came off theRockieson their westward journey, the entire exploring party was hungry and ill -- too weak to defend themselves.
Had the Nez Perce chosen to attack them, they could have put an end to the Lewis and Clark expedition there on the banks ofClearwater River. Instead the Nez Perce welcomed the white Americans and looked after them
until they made a full recovery. Thus began a long friendship between the Nez Perce and white Americans. But white men’s greed for land and gold finally broke the friendship.
In 1855 Governor Isaac Stevens ofWashingtonTerritoryinvited the Nez Perce to a peace conference. He said there were a great many white people in the country, and many more would come. But the Chief of the tribe at that time, Old Joseph, replied, “Take away your paper. I will not touch it with my hand.”
Things were quiet for a while after that, but not for long. When Old Joseph died, the chiefship was passed onto Young Joseph. In the late 1870s, government officials came to order the Nez Perce to leave theWallowaValleyand then began hard battles between the Nez Perce and the white soldiers. After the tribe had fought thirteen battles and moved 1,600 miles to-wards Canada in an attempt to retreat(撤退) north, Young Joseph, gave in to the United States Army. Here was his famous statement, “Hear me my chiefs. I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.”
In 1885, Chief Joseph was sent along with manyof his band to the Colville Reservation inWashingtonwhere Joseph continued to lead his band for another 25 years, at times coming into conflict with the leaders of 11 other tribes living on the reservation.(保留地，居留地)
12. What isTRUEabout the Lewis andClark expedition?
A. They were well cared for by the Nez Perce.
B. They ended their expedition on the banks ofClearwater River.
C. They started the first battle with the Nez Perce.
D. They were the first Americans to travel from theAtlanticto the Pacific.
13. What ended the friendship between the Nez Perce and the Whites?
A. Old Joseph’s proud manner
B. White men’s increasing demand for land and gold
C. A growing number of white men in the land
D The breakdown of the peace talk
14. Young Joseph gave in at last because ________.
A. he grew older
B. he was terribly ill
C. he hated the war
D. he lost other chiefs’ support

I think there should be a specially festival for teenagers in China calling Teenager Volunteer Day. As it is known to all, most teenagers in China are bring up as the only child in the family. Usually given too much care and attention, you are likely to take everything for granted. In Teenager Volunteer Day, teenagers are encouraged to do voluntary works wherever they are needed.
