ruining your eyes.”“Theyre turning you into a violent person.”The words said publicly against video games are so common,but are these worries founded on actual science?Countless studies have offered different opinions on whether video games are bad for you.Weve rounded up the most notable reports and studies below,so you can weigh up the evidence for yourself.In 2013,psychologist(心理学家)Simone Kuhn studied the influences of spending long hours on video games on the brains of young adults and found that several areas became bigger than before.These areas are connected with highercognitive functions(认知功能),memory formation andfinemotor(精细运动)function.Last year,psychologists said that video game players who favour violent games are more likely to be violent when offline.Dr.Mark Appelbaum of the American Psychological Association said that there was a relation between violent video game use and increases in violent behaviour.Dr.Daphne Bavelier is an expert in the field of Brain&Cognitive Sciences.Bavelier presented the audience with a colour-word test,where non-gamers are easily puzzled by the test,and those who spend long periods playing on their computers are more likely to pass the test with flying colours.“Actually,those video game players have many other advantages in terms of attention,”said Bavelier,“and one part of attention which is also improved for the better is our ability to follow the movements of objects.”“So,in a sense,when we think about the influence of video games on the brain,its very similar to the influence of wine on the health.There are some very poor uses of wine.There are some very poor uses of video games.But when drunk in reasonable amounts,and at the right age,wine can be very good for health,”said Bavelier.4.What can be learned from Simone Kuhns study？A.Video games make you happier.B.Video games make your brain grow.C.Video games play a key role in memory.D.Video games teach you how to learn fast.5.What was Dr.Mark Appelbaums attitude towards video games？A.He was against them.B.He was hopeful of them.C.He was in favour of them.D.He was uncertain about them.6.Which of the following may Dr.Daphne Bavelier agree with？A.Video games fix attention problems.B.Video games make kids do well in exams.C.Video games encourage violent behaviour.D.Video games help increase colour knowledge.7.Why are the uses of wine mentioned in the last paragraph？A.To remind people to avoid video games.B.To show the disadvantages of video games.C.To help people learn more about video games.D.To ask people to make good use of video games.C Improvements to energy efficiency,such as LED lights,are seen by many authorities as a top priority for cutting carbon emissions.Yet a growing body of research suggests that arebound effect could wipe out more than half of the savings from energy efficiency improvements,making the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change even harder to hit.A team led by Paul Brockway at the University of Leeds,UK,looked at the existing 33 studies on the impact of the rebound effect.First comes the direct rebound:for instance,when someone buys a more efficient car,they may take advantage of that by driving it further.Then comes the indirect rebound:fuel savings leave the owner with more money to spend elsewhere in the economy,consuming energy.Although the 33 studies used different methods to model the rebound effect,they produced very consistent estimates of its impact,leading the team to conclude that the effect wipes out,on average,63 percent of the anticipated energy savings.“Were not saying energy efficiency doesnt work.What were saying is rebound needs to be taken more seriously,”says Brockway.The idea that increased efficiency may not deliver the hopedfor savingsdates back to the Jevons paradox(悖论),named after the economist William Stanley Jevons,who,in 1865,observed that more efficient coal use led to more demand for coal.If the rebound effect does prove to be as big as suggested,it means future global energy demand will be higher than expected and the world will need far more wind and solar power and carboncapture technology than is currently being planned for.But that doesnt mean nothing can be done to limit the rebound effect.One answer is to double down on energy efficiency and do twice as much to achieve the same effect.8.Which of the following is a rebound effect?A.A man uses LED lights to cut carbon emissions.B.A company uses coal more efficiently to reduce waste.C.A family saves money by using energysaving devices.D.A lady spends savings from her fuel efficient car on more clothes.9.How did Paul Brockways team carry out their research?A.By interviewing economists.B.By analyzing former studies.C.By modeling the rebound effect.D.By debating about the Jevons paradox.10.What would Paul Brockway probably agree with?A.Authorities should dismiss energy efficiency.B.Worldwide efforts to preserve energy are in vain.C.The rebound effect helps protect the environment.D.More attention should be paid to the rebound effect.11.Whats the authors attitude towards limiting the rebound effect?A.Positive.B.Pessimistic.C.Doubtful.D.Disapproving.D Hi,Momis a hit inChina.Since its release in early February the movie has earned more than 5 billion yuan at the box office.It is currently
