“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.
C

Scientists have long sought to prevent sharp memories from dulling with age, but the problem remains unsettled. Now research published in Scientific Reports suggests virtual reality might help older people recall facts and events based on specific details.
The study involved 42 healthy older adults from the San Francisco Bay Area. Half spent a dozen hours over four weeks playing a virtual-reality game called Labyrinth; they wore headsets and walked in place, walking virtual neighborhoods while completing small tasks. The other half, in the control group, used electronic tablets to play games that did not require recalling details. After 15 sessions (期), the latter performed roughly the same as before on a long-term memory test. But the Labyrinth players gain an improvement in memory through the VR game. A scientist Peter Wais of the University of California said the improvements brought them up to the level of another group of younger adults taking the same memory tests.
Meredith Thompson, an education researcher, studies learning through VR games but was not involved in the new study. It would be great to actually follow people over time and see what this type of game does for long-term memory. She says, adding VR can provide greater involvement than other games. Wais's team is now investigating how long the observed effects last and which elements of the training have the most impact.
A cognitive (认知)psychologist, Daniel Simons, who was also not involved in the study, notes experiments with other games that claim to train the brain have often failed to evaluate this. And it remains unclear how test performance in a laboratorysetting might translate to real-world situations. The outcome, Simons notes, “needs to
be repeated, ideally with a much larger group, before it’s treated as a strong finding.”
For now, Wais says, the team hopes its studies with similar-sized groups will help draw funding to test the game in a larger pool of participants.
12. What is the passage mainly about?
A. People's memory gradually fails as they age.
B. People of different ages should play VR games.
C. Virtual reality changes people's memory.
D. Virtual reality improves older adults' memory.
13. What is Meredith Thompson's attitude toward the research?
A. satisfied.
B. enthusiastic.
C. cautious.
D. concerned.
14. According to the scientists, the research needs to be improved due to ________.
A. the lack of financial support.
B. the limited pool of participants.
C. the unsatisfying test performance.
D. the impractical application in real world.
15. Where may the passage come from?
A. A novel.
B. A review.
C. A magazine.
D. A guidebook.
