When the game is over. he hash’ t lost or been beaten. Is a surfer beaten when he files from a wave Most video games call for some semblance of hand-eye coordination, and some hospitals are now using them in rehabilitation programs for brain-damaged patients. It has been found that some patients who were otherwise thought to be unreachable have been "brought out" through their use. Moreover experimental re- search is now being conducted regarding the feasibility of video games as a test for drunken driving. Intoxicants act to slow reaction time and impair coordination -- and nowhere is this kind of impairment more measurable than on the video game play field. Some day a poor showing at "Six-Pack Man" may cost you your license. Video games for the microcomputer are net restricted to mere "twitch" games, however. Strategy games are at last as popular, and among these are the so-called "fantasy role-playing" adventures. These games allow the player to construct a whole new personality, choosing strengths and weaknesses from a list of possible character traits. Nowadays, more and more adolescents are crowded in electronic game houses for whole days to experience what they perceive to be excitement. In the due course, they train their abilities in confronting with new situations, and what’s more, they learn how to communicate with their targeted rivals, in a novel and friendly way. But there is such a large amount of criticism concerning the electronic games that they are generally seen as a vile ways of discovering hostility and belligerence. And the managers of such businesses are severely criticized by the schools and parents alike. On the other hand, this business seems never fading, but instead it becomes a success in many places, even it is strictly controlled by certain policies. One might choose, for instance, a character who is extremely dexterous and swift, but these positive traits must be traded off against others, such as strength and endurance.

I’m also attached to extrasensory powers, which are likewise denied to me in the real world. The author’ s general attitude towards video games is that ______.
Text 2 When we think of Hollywood, a term I use loosely to describe American movie production in general, not simply films made in Los Angeles. we think of films aimed at amusing audiences and making money for producers. During the early years of the new century, as workers won their demands for higher wages and a shorter working week, leisure assumed an increasingly important role in, everyday life. Amusement parks, professional baseball games, nickelodeons, and dance halls attracted a wide array of men and women anxious to spend their hard-earned dollars in the pursuit of fun and relaxation. Yet of all these new cultural endeavors, films were the most important and widely attended source of amusement. For mere five or ten cents, even the poorest worker could afford to take himself and his family to the local nickelodeon or storefront theatre. Taking root in urban working class and immigrant neighborhoods cinemas soon spread to middle-class districts of cities and into small communities throughout the nation. "Every little town that has never been able to afford and maintain an opera house", observed one journalist in 1908. "now boasts one or two Bijou Dream." By 1910 the appeal of films was so great that nearly one third of the nation flocked to the cinema each week; ten years later, weekly attendance equaled 50 percent of the nation’s population. Early films were primarily aimed at entertaining audiences, but entertainment did not always come in the form of escapist fantasies. Many of the issues that dominated Progressive era politics were also portrayed on the screen. "Between 1900 and 1917," observed Kevin Brownlow. "literally thousands of films dealt with the most pressing problems of the day — white slavery, political corruption, gangsterism, loan sharking, slum landlords, capital vs. labor, racial prejudice, etc." While most of these films were produced by studios and independent companies, a significant number were made by what we might call today "special interest groups". As films quickly emerged as the nation’s most popular form of mass entertainment, they attracted the attention of a wide range of organizations that recognized the medium’s enormous potential for disseminating propaganda to millions of viewers. The phrase "special interest groups" in the last paragraph probably means
Text "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy" is a popular saying in the United States, Other countries have similar sayings. It is true that all of us need recreation. We cannot work all the time if we are going to maintain good health, and enjoy life. Good physical and mental health in fact enables us to work more efficiently. Everyone has his own way of relaxing. Perhaps the most popular way is to participate in sports. There are team sports, such as baseball, basketball and football. There are individual sports, also, such as golf and swimming. In addition, hiking, fishing, skiing and mountain climbing have a great attraction for people who like to be outdoors. Not everyone who enjoys sporting events likes to participate in them. Many people prefer to be spectators, either by attending the games in person, watching them on television, or listening to them on the radio. When there is an important baseball game or boxing match, it is almost impossible to get tickets: everyone wants to attend. Chess, card-playing, and dancing are forms of indoor recreation enjoyed by many people. It doesn’t matter whether we play a fast game of ping-pong, concentrate over the bridge table, or go walking through the woods on a brisk autumn afternoon.
