　　参考答案

　　1) Why do more and more young people like playing electronic games?

　　Electronic games appeal to the majority of young people in a couple of ways. The most obvious reason is that game is to play, and play is fun no matter what. There are also more sophisticated reasons. Video games are developed to meet the psychological needs of young people. For example, great video games get harder as players progress through them, and game developers use a set of tools that help players feel masterful. They make you feel challenged, but not so much that you'll give up. Young people are also motivated to play electronic games because games allow them to make their own choices and shape their own experiences. The feeling of being in charge makes playing game especially addicting.

　　2) What will happen if teenagers spend too much time playing computer games?

　　Spending too much time playing computer games is like spending too much time watching a TV series. It interferes with other elements of a teen’s life. Prolonged gaming reduces sleep, exercises, academic performance, as well as the time they can spend with friends and families. In addition, it can also cause some health issues such as neck and elbow pain, numbness in the hands and poor vision.

　　3) Should parents and teachers prevent children from playing games?

　　I think parents and teachers should not allow very young children play video games, because children at those age have not developed much self-control and are easy to get addicted to games and not keep up with their study, sleep and outdoor exercises, which are crucial for mental and physical developments. Parents and teachers should limit video game time for older children as well, or to allow game time only after they complete their own responsibilities of the day. Therefore, children can both meet their psychological needs from playing games and not to have their daily life interfered.

　　4) What are the benefits of playing electronic games?

　　Besides being fun, there are some surprising benefits of playing video games. Gaming is a workout for your mind. It can boost muscle control, memories, perception and spacial navigation. Games can also teach you to be a better problem solver. Some mission-based games are designed to let players take several hours to solve a puzzle-liked tasks. Players need to think on their feet and strategize in a fast-paced environment, which are skills that can translate to the real world.
