Many children and teenagers spend large amounts of time playing game.Most of the games have become very complicated and realistic.And while some of them have educational content and promote learning,problem solving and help with the development of motor skills,others emphasize negative themes and promote killing,fighting,criminal behavior and violence in general.

There is growing research on the effects of video games on children.Numerous studies show that video games,especially ones with violent content,make teens more aggressive.Children exposed to violence can become addicted to the horror of violence by imitating they violence they see,and showing more aggressive behavior themselves.Some children accept violence as a way to cope with their own problems.Studies have also shown that the more realistic is the exposure to violence,the more impressed children are.Also,children with emotional,behavioral and learning problems may be more influenced by violent images.Playing video games may increase aggressive behavior because violence is considered an effective teaching method in strengthening learning patterns.

Children and teens who become overly involved with video games,and,therefore,spend large amounts of time playing these games can create problems,such as poor social skills,time absent from home,lower grades at school,less reading less exercising and becoming overweight,aggressive thoughts,behaviors and so on.

Parents are responsible for helping their children in choosing books to read,toys to play with, TV programs and movies to watch,which are appropriate for each particular child.Entertainment materials should be fun,engaging,exciting and educating.Parents should have a good knowledge and understanding of each child so that they can assist them in selecting appropriate learning materials.Parents should invest more of their time playing the games with their children,as well as talking with them about their impressions, thoughts and feelings related to the playing game.They can also engage in a discussion of great values that may.guide the child down a safe road and lead to the development of a moral character.

What makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.
We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle. It needs exercise. Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理學(xué)家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.
Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did.” or “You are such a smart child.”
【小題1】The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.

A.bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understanding
B.pretty and handsome; ordinary-looking
C.great and important; common
D.hopeful and helpful; careless
【小題2】According to the context we can guess that a genius is ________ while an idiot is ________.
A.a(chǎn) normal person; a funny person
B.a(chǎn) strong person; a weak person
C.a(chǎn) highly intelligent person; a foolish or weak-minded person
D.a(chǎn) famous person; an ordinary person
【小題3】 A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.
A.whose parents are clever
B.often thinking about difficult problems
C.often helped by his parents and teachers
D.born with a good brain and putting it into active use
【小題4】 It is better for parents ________.
A.to praise and encourage their children more often
B.to be hard on their children
C.to leave their children alone with nothing to do
D.to give their children as much help as possible
【小題5】Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?
A.Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.
B.The less you use your mind the duller you may become.
C.Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.
D.What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.
