Playing video games can be a fun way to relax or spend time with friends. In some schools, teachers use games like Minecraft to encourage teamwork and communication.
But for some players, gaming is an unhealthy habit. They stay up late playing games. They do little or no homework. They give up other hobbies and pay little attention to their families and friends. The video-game world seems a friendlier place than the real one.
Mental health experts have taken notice of this problem. The WHO added game disorder (障碍) to its list of health condition. A person may have the disorder if games have done harm to his relationship with families and friends, or if it has influenced his daily activities. Clifford Sussman treats games addiction (瘾).He says that children who have the game disorder often get angry when a parent stops them from playing games.
Then what makes video games addictive? Here is the answer. Playing video games makes players excited. After a while, the players become numb (麻木的).Then they lose control of themselves, so they play even more. Clifford says that players should take at least an-hour-long break after playing video games for an hour. Their brains need time to recover. Clifford advises young players should answer a simple question: “Are you in control, or is the game in control?”
1.The writer develops his idea in Paragraph 2 by .
A.using an expert’s opinion B.describing his personal habits

Playing video games can be a fun way to relax. It is a way to spend time with friends in schools. Teachers use video games like Minecraft to encourage teamwork. But for some players, gaming is an unhealthy habit. At night, they are glued to a screen. Their schoolwork becomes worse. The video-game world seems like a friendly place. It seems friendlier than the real world.
Mental health experts have taken notice. In June, the World Health Organization (WHO) added gaming disorder to its list of diseases and health conditions. A person may have the disorder if gaming has done harm to his or her relationships with family and friends. Gaming may also disrupt his or her everyday activities.
Not all experts agree with WHO . They don’t think too much gaming should be called a disorder. They say people hooked on(对……入了迷) video games may have other mental health problems. These should be treated first.
Others think WHO made the right call .Clifford Sussman, who has worked with kids as young as 12, says they often have feelings of anxiety(焦虑). They feel lonely. They get angry when a parent stops them from playing games.
Playing video games excites the brain’s reward center. After a while, the brain becomes numb(麻木) to pleasure. You feel bored without a controller in your hand. So you play even more.
Sussman advises you should take at least a one-hour break after every hour of play. The brain need time to return to a normal condition. Young gamers who think they might have a problem should ask an adult for help. Sussman suggests you first answer a simple question: “Are you in control, or is the game in control?”

It's common to play video games as a way to reduce stress. We play games for fun, relaxation and even to kill time. However, one student has found a much more creative way to use video games.
Wu Hele, 17, a Senior 3 student from Jinling High School, Nanjing, has been preparing a gift for his high school - a recreation(重建) of his own school in the game Minecraft《我的世界》.
It is a game that allows players to design landscapes and buildings in all different types of locations with different materials.
For Wu, recreating the school was not just a sudden idea. During Wu's first time visiting the school, he found that it was perfect for rebuilding. "The landscape of the school is regular, and buildings all had a symmetrical, aesthetic feeling, which is suitable for rebuilding with Minecraft," he told Modern Express《现代快报》.
After his first visit to the school, Wu decided to rebuild it. However, this was not an action that could be done in a day. During his three years in high school, Wu has effectively organized his time. After finishing his homework or exercises, he always walked around the school with a notebook. "I measured all the corners by eyeballing(目测) or counting footsteps. I also drew sketches(草图). When I played the game, I would build the school based on my sketches," he told the Bejing Evening News《北京晚报》.
Wu experienced several challenges as he recreated every detail of the school. One of the most difficult challenges was building the gym. At first, he didn't know how to rebuild the shape. Then, Wu learned the conic curve formula(圆锥曲线公式), which was used for the building.
His hard work has paid off. Almost all of the scenes of Jinling High School have been rebuilt in the game. The gate, the teaching buildings, the unique corridor with the wisteria(紫藤长廊)- every tree and flower has been exactly rebuilt. The player can visit the classrooms, gyms and office buildings and view the detailed decorations inside. In addition, their school's pet cat can be seen running downstairs in the teaching building just like in real life.
"I'm the first one who rebuilt our school in this way. I've cherished(珍惜) the three years I've spent here, and I have learned a lot during the whole process," Wu told Nanjing Daily《南京日报》.
回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过7个词。
1.Which grade is Wu Hele in? ______________________________________
2.Where did Wu rebuild his school? ______________________________________
3.How did he measure all the corners in his school? __________________________________
4.When did Wu decide to rebuild his school? ______________________________________
5.What do you think of Wu’s recreation of Jinling High School? _________________________

The way we spend our time can be divided into three groups, or “jars”. These would be the necessary tasks jar, the voluntary tasks jar and the happiness jar.
Every day, we spend time filling the necessary tasks jar. We fill this jar with useful things, like making money, housework, buying food and paying bills. We then fill another jar with voluntary tasks. These are things that we do for others, but we may not enjoy them. This jar is filled with tasks like taking children to activities and cooking family meals. Those jars are very important. If we don’t fill them each day, our family won’t run properly.
However, we often forget to fill the third jar --- the happiness jar. This is the jar that we fill with activities that make us happy. Is your happiness jar sometimes empty at the end of the day? We all have days like that. Between doing all the necessary and voluntary tasks, time flies by on some days, and before we know it, it is time for bed.
That is why each day we try to fill our happiness jar. Most days, I fill mine by going to the ballroom dance(社交舞) class with my husband and daughter. Between the music, the dancing and the friendship among the students, I always leave classes happier than when I entered.
Music is another way that I fill my happiness jar. This week, I was happy to take part in an orchestra(管弦乐队) practice at my church(教堂). A small group of us met to practice Christmas music for a church service. It was a time of fun, friendship and music making. At the end of the evening, my happiness jar was full.
This week, consider how your time is spent. Are you doing enough activities that bring joy to your life? Or are the necessary and voluntary tasks eating up all your time? Try to find ways to achieve a balance between how you are filling your three jars. At the end of the day, hopefully we’ve done all we can to make sure that our happiness jar is filled.
1.From the first three paragraph, we can infer(推断) that ____________.
A. necessary and voluntary tasks are more important than happiness
B. voluntary tasks are those we do for others with pleasure and joy
C. time goes quicker when we do the first two tasks than the third
D. doing the first two tasks often leaves us little time to fill the third jar
2.Which of the following is TRUE about the writer?
A. She is always unhappy when she attends the dance club.
B. She goes to the ballroom dance class to make herself happy every single day.
C. Dancing and music are the two usual ways that she makes herself happy.
D. She takes her husband and daughter to dance club in order to make them happy.
3.What can we do to fill the happiness jar according to the passage?
A. Wash clothes B. Watch a film C. Mop the floor D. Look after children
4.What can we know from Paragraph 4 and 5?
A. The writer took a class at church to practice music.
B. The writer finds friendship is important for her happiness.
C. The writer was invited to attend an orchestra as she is good at singing.
D. The writer was going to listen to music at church at Christmas.
5.The writer wrote this article mainly to _______________.
A. tell readers how to relax in daily life B. tell readers the best way to use their time
