Some day a poor showing at "Six-Pack Man" may cost you your license. Video games for the microcomputer are not restricted to mere "twitch" (痉挛) 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 whats more, they learn how to communicate with their targeted rivals, in a novel and friendly way. But there is such a large mount of criticism concerning the electronic games that they are generally seen as a mean way of discovering hostility and belligerence (好战). 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 (灵巧) and swift, but these positive traits must be traded off against others, such as strength and endurance. Players have a tendency to become extremely attached to their characters. My preference runs toward brawn (肌肉力量) as opposed to brain, which probably reflects some compromise between reality and my own desires. Im also attached to extrasensory powers, which are likewise denied to me in the real world.The authors general attitude towards video games is that _.Avideo games create a world which reflect our real lifeBmost video games are helpful rather than harmful to peopleCmore research should be done regarding the benefits of video gamesDvideo games mirror a balance between reality and our own wishes 3.For me, scientific knowledge is divided into mathematical sciences, natural sciences or sciences dealing with natural world, and sciences dealing with mankind. Apart from these sciences is philosophy. All this is pure or (62) knowledge, sought only for the (63) of understanding in order to fulfill the need to understand what is intrinsic and consubstantial (同质的) to man. What (64) man from animal is that he knows and needs to know. If man did not know that the world existed, and that the (65) was of a certain kind, that he was in the world and that he himself was of a certain kind, he wouldnt be man. The technical aspects or applications of knowledge are equally necessary for man and are of the greatest importance, (66) they also contribute to (67) him as man and permit him to (68) a life increasingly more truly human. (69) even while enjoying the results of technical progress, (70) must defend the primacy and autonomy of our knowledge. Knowledge sought (71) for its practical applications will have immediate and (72) success, but not the kind of important result (73) revolutionary scope is in large part unforeseen, except by the imagination of the Utopians. Let me recall a well-known example. If the Greek mathematicians had not applied themselves (74) investigation of conic (二次曲线) sections zealously and without the least suspicion (75) it might someday be useful, it would not have been possible (76) later to navigate far from shore. The first man to study the nature of electricity could not imagine that their experiments, carried on because of mere (77) curiosity, would eventually lead to modern electrical technology, without which we can scarcely (78) of contemporary life. Pure knowledge is valuable for its own sake, because the human spirit cannot (79) itself to ignorance. But, (80) it is the foundation for practical results that would not have been reached if this knowledge had not been sought (81) .Ahuman-beingBworldCmanDscience 4.The video game poses a worlda much simpler world than our own, where success is very clearly defined and, for a time, clearly attainable.

But when I left for the other side of the island, I was traveling on unpaved roads lined with leaky cottages. The "lifestyle" of many of the native islanders stood in shocking contrast to my comfortable existence. By talking to the local folks, I discovered that the vast majority of the maids, gardeners, waitresses and construction workers who make this island work had little or no access to medical care. It seemed outrageous to me. I wondered why someone didnt do something about that. Then my fathers words, which be had asked his children daily when they were young, rang in my head again: "What did you do for someone today " Even though my father had died several years before, I guess I still didnt want to disappoint him. So I started working on a solution. The island was full of retired doctors. If I could persuade them to spend a few hours a week volunteering their services, we could provide free primary health care to those so desperately in need of it. Most of the doctors I approached liked the idea, so long as they could be relicensed without troubles. It took one year and plenty of persistence, but I was able to persuade the state legislators to create a special license for doctors volunteering in not-for-pro, lit clinics. The town donated land, local residents contributed office and medical equipment and some of the potential patients volunteered their weekends ornamenting the building that would become the clinic. We named it Volunteers in Medicine and we opened its doors in 1994, fully staffed by retired physicians, nurses and dentists as well as nearly 150 nonprofessional volunteers. That year we had 5,000 patient visits; last year we had 16,000. Somehow word of what we were doing got around. Soon we were receiving phone calls from retired physicians all over the country, asking for help in starting VIM clinics in their communities. We did the best we could-there are now 15 other clinics operating-but we couldnt keep up with the need. Yet last month I think my fathers words found their way up north, to McNeil Consumer Healthcare, the maker of Tylenol (泰诺：一种感冒药). A major grant from McNeil will allow us to respond to these requests and help establish other free clinics in communities around the country.Which of the following has been done by the author himselfABuying the medical equipment.BFinding the land and the office.CDecorating the building that would become the clinic.DGetting a special license for the retired doctors. 8.After retirement from medical, my wife and I built our home in a gated community surrounded by yacht clubs and golf courses on Hilton Head Island.
