第1—4题是四位人士针对“孩子玩电脑或电子游戏会影响他们的个性发展吗”的观点，从A-E中选出相应的陈述与之匹配，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。. Parents need to watch the time their kids spend on computer or video games.
. The effect of playing computer or video games on a child is different but it is there.
. Computer or video games do affect children’s social development because they are not playing in reality.
. If you have heard of online gaming, then you know video games can affect social development in a good way.
| A．For a lot of children, computers and video games are just an escape from reality, taking them away from real life for a while, replacing a stressful or boring environment with sights and sounds kids could only imagine before. They have the ability of entertaining people’s minds while drawing in the whole attention away from real life. So the result will be like this: whenever a child can’t handle problems in real life, he might just turn to computer games. |
| B．Reading Tom Sawyer or Harry Porter is as personal an act as playing an online game or even more personal than playing an online or two-player game. I’ve rarely seen two people happily reading ONE book together. But when kids play online games they need to work together and it encourages the development of social skills. |
| C．Many results can occur from playing video games, from feeling abandoned and becoming addicted to getting better in touch with what other students are doing. The question here is whether or not video games affect a child’s development, not if it is good or bad. Anything that you interact with is going to have an effect on your development. |
| D．People blame the computer and videos, because it is an easy target to hit. If you really wanna look at people being lonely, look at the school system, where teachers could easily fix the problem by doing more group work with him/her choosing the students for the group. I mean, I could play outside by myself and still be lonely. There isn’t a difference. |
E. I do believe our children’s development is affected by computers and video game play if too much time is spent because that’s time that a child used to be playing outside with other children. I think that some computer work is good because it trains the brain in new patterns, but time on the computer need to be limited and playing outside should be encouraged.

Adjust your mind. Do not even attempt to acquire the habit of eating slowly before you're mentally ready. Relax and use your imagination to create mental images that your brain will remember. As part of this mental process, imagine yourself lean and fit.Eating slowly isn't just about slowing down the chewing ; it also about slowing down your food choices. As you pick out the processed food, replace it with healthy, unprocessed or less processed choices.

Question: I found a new job in the nearby town last week. But my six-year-old son doesn’t want to leave, because he has established a good friendship with our neighbor’s children. I am really puzzled about how to explain our moving plan to him. And there is only three weeks left. Will you please tell me some good advice?
Answer: Congratulations on your new position! It frequently causes them to feel unsafe. But dont worry. There are many things you can do to make the moving experience less frightening for your children.
● Involve them from the very beginning.
Tell your children as soon as you know you’re moving. Explain why you’re moving in terms they can understand. This will remove a lot of the fear and confusion they may be feeling. Be sure to answer their questions as fully as you can.
●
If you approach the coming move as an exciting adventure for the entire family, it will help to calm your children’s fears. If possible, show them the new house and let them spend some time exploring it. Help them imagine where their furniture and toys will go. Show them the yard and help them imagine all the fun they will have there. Talk about all the fun things the family will do there.
● Let them help.
If you give your children an active role in the move, they are much more likely to accept it and even grow excited about it. Let them pack some of their own things. If there are old toys you dont plan to take, let the kids help decide which of them should be taken or given away.
| A. What to do on moving day. B. Make the move an adventure. C. Dont tell them at the last minute. D. Moving can upset children of any age. E. This will help them feel a part of the move. F. My wife and I are considering moving there next month. G. If youre driving to your new home, make the trip exciting! |
I’ve been keeping an English blog for many years. These practical tips have helped me over the course of my blogging.

● When writing, use simple words and sentences. Using simple sentences makes your job as a blogger easier. Always remember this: The aim of your writing is to get your message across and the only way to become an effective writer is successfully conveying your message to your readers.
