MY EXPERIENCES WITH COMPUTER GAMESI clearly remember the first time I _1_(play) a computer game. I was seven years old. My friend had gotten a computer for his birthday. He invited me to play a game, which was very simple _2_ today's standards, but we loved it! We played for hours. We would meet after school every day to play it. My addiction _3_ computer games started then. Not long after that, my friend moved to the city. I missed him, but I got my own computer and began playing by myself. Over the years, computer games _4_(develop) rapidly. Technology improved, and there were always new and better games _5_(play). You could then play games over _6_ Internet with people from all over the world, using _7_ computers or smartphones. The online games were fascinating and it was always exciting to play. At first, I played games _8_ the Internet after I had done my homework and eaten dinner. Then I started playing as soon as I got home each day. My parents stopped me, _9_ I started playing it in the middle of the night. I went to school and often fell asleep in class. My teacher would scold me _10_ I would often do the same thing the next day! Shortly after that, I began to skip meals and play _11_ the night. My parents found out and took away my computer and smart phone. I knew I had gone too far. My love of computer games had become an addiction. It was affecting my schoolwork and my health, and I felt quite _12_(depress). Then one day I _13_(bump) into my friend again! He had moved back to our hometown. We hadn't seen each other for _14_(age). He looked happy and healthy. We talked about the past and the good times we had, _15_(play) that old game. He still played computer games, but he also did many other things. He invited me to play basketball with some friends. I got tired quickly, but I loved it! Afterwards, we played _16_ board game. We laughed and talked and played for hours. It was very sociable and great fun. Playing games with my friends in real life was much _17_(enjoyable) than doing so online.Computer games are great fun and I still play them sometimes. New technology _18_(make) more amazing things possible. I've learnt that some games can even teach us to train our brains _19_(solve) problems. However, games can also be _20_(addict), so balance is important for a healthy lifestyle. We can spoil good things by doing them too much. Now I enjoy playing games even more because I am able to maintain a good balance _21_ work and play.THE EXPERIMENTLittle Women, written by Louisa May Alcott and published in 1868, is a famous American novel. The story follows the lives of the March family. While the father is working away from home, the mother has to look after their four teenaged daughters -Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy - on her own.(adapted from Little Women)"Vacation, finally!" exclaimed Meg, coming home to find Jo already _1_(lie) on the sofa. "What will you do _2_ your vacation?" asked Amy. "Stay in bed late, and do nothing," replied Meg. "Sit in the old apple tree and read!" said Jo. "Beth, let's not do any lessons for a while, but play all the time and rest, like Meg and Jo" _3_(beg) Amy. "I will, if Mother doesn't mind. I want to learn some new songs," replied Beth. "May we all try _4_ we want to do, Mother?" asked Meg. "You may try your experiment for a week and see how you like it," Mrs. March said with a smile. "It will be wonderful, I'm sure," said Meg. "Fun forever, and no work!" exclaimed Jo. The next morning, Meg got up at ten o'clock and had breakfast alone. Jo spent the morning with a friend and the afternoon _5_(read) in the apple tree. Beth pulled all her toys out of her closet but then left them to play some music. Amy put on her best dress and went outside to draw, _6_(hope) someone would notice the beautiful young artist. No one appeared, so she went for a walk, got _7_(catch) in the rain, and came home _8_(drip). In the evening, they all assured their mother the experiment was going well. She smiled, said nothing, and did her work, keeping their home pleasant and running _9_(smooth). The days became longer and longer, and it affected all four girls. Meg found time _10_(hang) heavily and started cutting and spoiling her clothes, trying to make them more fashionable. Jo read till her eyes hurt and she was sick _11_books. Beth sometimes suddenly _12_(shake) her doll and shouted at it. Amy was quite bored, for she didn't like dolls or reading, and she couldn't draw all the time. _13_ no one would admit that they were tired of the experiment. _14_ Saturday morning, the girls got up to find no breakfast in the dining room and no mother to be seen. Meg ran upstairs and soon came back, looking _15_(relieve) but a little ashamed. "Mother isn't sick, only very tired. She says she is going to rest today and let us do the best we can. She says it has been a hard week for her, so we must take care of _16_(our)." The girls put together a breakfast tray for their mother and Jo brought it up to her. The tea was very bitter, the eggs were burnt, and the biscuits _17_(taste) odd, but she thanked them for their kindness."They will have a hard time, I'm afraid, but they won't suffer, and it will do them good," she said to herself after Jo left, taking out the breakfast which she _18_( prepare) for herself earlier. Meg went to tidy the living room, hiding the litter under the sofa and _19_(shut) the curtains to save her _20_ trouble of dusting. Jo went to ask their mother about lunch. "Eat whatever you like," said Mrs March. "I'm going out to lunch. I'm taking a vacation today." And so Jo discovered that something more than energy and effort _20_(be) necessary to make a cook. She boiled the vegetables for an hour, burnt the bread, found only a small bit of meat in the lobster, _21_ then declared lunch ready before the potatoes were quite done. The girls and their two guests sit down to lunch. The one strong point was the strawberries, for Jo had covered them in sugar and had a jug of cream to go with them. Amy took a big _22_(spoon) and choked. "What's wrong?" exclaimed Jo. "Salt, not sugar, and the cream is sour," replied Meg. Jo was about to cry, _23_ suddenly she realized how funny it all was. She laughed till the tears ran down her cheeks. _24_ did everyone else, and the lunch ended with bread and butter and fun. They were then busy for the whole afternoon, _25_(tidy) and cleaning, as well as receiving guests and running errands. In the evening, the girls gathered on the porch. Each girl groaned or sighed as she sat down. "What a dreadful day this has been!" began Jo. "It has seemed shorter than usual, but so _26_(comfortable)," said Meg. "Not a bit like home," added Amy. "Not without Mother," sighed Beth. "Here I am, dear. Are you satisfied _27_ your experiment, girls, or do you want another week of it?" she asked. "I don't!" cried Jo. "Nor I," _28_(echo) the others. "Mother, did you go away just to see how we'd get on?" said Meg. "Yes, I thought you should see what happens when everyone thinks only of herself. Isn't it pleasanter to have _29_(day) duties and then relax? To help each other _30_, so home is comfortable for us all?" "Oh yes, Mother!" exclaimed the girls. "Our little burdens seem heavy but will grow _31_(light) as we learn to carry them. Work keeps us from _32_(bore) and mischief, is good for health and spirits, and gives us _33_ sense of power and _34_(dependence) better than money or fashion. But remember, don't go to the other extreme and work like slaves! Have regular hours for work and play and make each day both useful and pleasant. Then youth will be _35_(delight), old age will bring few regrets, and life will become _36_ success, _37_ you're rich or poor." 5 / 5
