For years video games have been criticised for making people more antisocial, overweight or depressed. Bui now researchers are finding that video games can actually change us for the better and improve both our body and mind.
Games can help to develop physical skills. Pre-school children who played interactive games have been shown to have improved motor skills, for example they can kick, catch and throw a ball better than children who don’t play video games. A study found that those who played video games were 27 percent faster and made 37 percent fewer errors than those who didn't.
Games also benefit a variety of brain functions, including decision-making. People who play action-based games make decisions 25 percent faster than others, according to one study. It was also found that the best gamers can make choices and act on them up to six times a second, four times faster than most people. In another study by researchers from the University of Rochester in New York, experienced gamers were shown to be able to pay attention to more than six things at once without getting confused, compared with the four that most people can normally keep in mind.
There is also evidence that gaming can help with psychological problems. At the University of Auckland in New Zealand, researchers asked 94 young people diagnosed with depression to play a 3D fantasy game called SPARX and in many cases, the game reduced symptoms of depression more than conventional treatment.
4. In what way playing video games benefits very young children?
A. Muscle control.
B. Social interaction.
C. Decision-making.
D. The ability to focus.
5. Which type of video game improves the decision-making speed?
A. Interactive games.
B. Action-based games.
C. 3D fantasy games.
D. Violent games.
6. What is the authors attitude to video games?
A. Indifferent.
B. Objective.
C. Worried.
D. Critical.
7. What is the text mainly about?
A. The effects of different types of video games.
B. The negative effects of playing video games.
C. The beneficial effects of playing video games.
D. The effects of games on people's behavior.
C
First grader Gavin Clampett was diagnosed(诊断) with Tourette’s Syndrome at the age of five. Due to the neurological(神经的) disorder, he always experiences a variety of sudden uncontrolled movements and sounds.
The uncontrollable actions mean that he often gets dirty looks from strangers in public and kids make cruel comments on the school bus and in class. In an effort to prevent the unkind comments, Gavin’s mother, 32­year­old Rebecca Clampett helped him make a video with his sister Brynn, nine, and played it to pupils at his school to help them understand the condition.
In the video, which Rebecca also shared on YouTube, Gavin’s sister Brynn starts by answering the question “What is Tourette’s Syndrome?” She explains, “It is a neurological disorder, which means it affects the brain so that a person makes unwanted movements. These are called tics(抽搐), but not like a tic that is found outside. These tics can be very noticeable or not very noticeable, quiet or loud.”
School can be hard for all kids. That canbe even harder for children like Gavin because they have to face people who laugh at them every single day. “I feel like my brother and every other kid who has Tourette’s Syndrome are brave. So be kind to them and don’t treat them differently because they are just like you”, Brynn says in the video.
Gavin concludes, “Everyone could play with someone. Some people think I can’t because I’m different but actually I can. Some are afraid that I will say dirty words, but actually I won’t. The disease bothers me a little, but I’m OK.”
8. What can we know about Tourette’s Syndrome?
A. It can be treated with drugs.
B. It is usually found at an early age.
C. People with it will say dirty words.
D. People with it can make uncontrolled sounds.
9. Because of the disease, others often _________.
A. take pity on Gavin
B. give a hand to Gavin
C. keep away from Gavin
D. look down upon Gavin
10. In the video, Gavin’s sister __________.
A. explains her brother’s disease
B. expresses her love for her brother
C. complains about unkind comments
D. encourages others to donate money
11. What can be used to best describe Gavin?
A. Lucky.
B. Helpless.
C. Optimistic.
D. Stubborn.

Photographer Rebecca Douglas has always been fascinated by the night sky. Her love for stars has taken theU.K.resident on “star walking” trips toIcelandand into theArctic, where she steps out onto darkened trails to capture twinkling stars and glowing planets in her images.
Hiking at night isn’t uncommon. Plenty of people hike after dark to get to campsites or watch the sunrise from a mountaintop. Star walking goes a step further by blending hiking with stargazing. Rather than heading to an observatory or setting up a telescope in your backyard,star walking takes you on a brief journey to look at the stars from different viewpoints.
Whether you’re in the mountainside or by the lake with stars reflecting on the water, star walking is often much more dynamic than traditional stargazing.
What’s more, star walking is good for you. There are plenty of studies that show the health benefits of being in nature. Spending at least two hours a week outdoors, particularly while engaging in what involves “effortless attention”, can decrease blood pressure, heart rate, and stress levels.
So how does an aspiring star walker get started? It doesn’t take much more than a sturdy pair of boots.
While telescopes and binoculars obviously have their uses, people are encouraged to start with naked-eye stargazing. Using only the eyes allows one to get lost in the infinite expanse of space and lets the mind go.
It is advised that one read up on the night sky before heading out. Free mobile apps, such as Star Walk 2, can help identify celestial bodies（天体）and are easy to use—simply point your phone at the sky to reveal a map.
Websites like Sky & Telescope and NASA’s Space Place cover the basics, have in-depth explanations on stars, and offer advice on equipment. Space Place posts monthly skywatching updates, so you can plan outings around events such as meteor showers.
In the United States, national parks are great options for inexperienced night hikers. Many offer guided outings that explain the importance of protecting night skies. Those with a good number of walks under their belt may want to try GlacierNational Park in Montana.
If national parks and other dark-sky designated areas are out of range, check local astronomy clubs and observatories for guided sessions. Sites like the International Astronomical Union are useful for finding resources by area.
At the end of the day, the best advice is to take it slow and enjoy the journey.
“With all of the chaos（混乱）that’s happening around us, the one constant has been the night sky,” explains Douglas, who hasbeen exploring popular places nearby, long after the crowds have gone home for the day. “Walking is quite a mindful way of looking up and being reminded that, although everything feels so different, some things are still the same.”
12. According to the passage, star walking refers to ________.
A. going to an observatory
B. looking at stars in mountains
C. combining hiking and stargazing
D. setting up a telescope in the backyard
13. One of the reasons why people go on a star walking is that _______.
A. it’s easier to identify celestial bodies
B. it is good for physical and mental health
C. they can enjoy the journey without crowds
D. they can raise awareness of protecting night skies
14. According to the passage, a star walking beginner is advised to _______.
A. prepare a pair of strong boots
B. start by observing with telescopes
C. join an astronomy club or an observatory
D. find guided outings with the help of mobile apps
15. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. excite people’s interest in star walking
B. recommend some places for star walking
C. explain the health benefits of star walking
D. introduce the preparations for star walking
