Read the following passage, then choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d A Japanese professor has produced evidence to show that computer games can have a bad effect on children. Many parents and grandparents have been saying this for years, but they were largely ignored, being regarded as technophobes(1). Parental worries about computer games are often related to their effect on their children's health and on their own social skills. They feel that they should be outdoors; getting exercise and enjoying the fresh air while playing with their friends. Since many of them usually play by themselves, they live rather isolated(4) lives, with little opportunity to interact with other people. As a result, they may be very poor at communication. Parents are also worried in case the violence of many of the games will cause their children to become more aggressive and violent themselves. This anxiety also applies to television, which often shows scenes of extreme cruelty. On the other hand, many scientists and psychologists find that computer games could actually have many benefits - the main one is making kids smart. Computer games may actually teach kids high-level thinking skills that they will need in the future. When your child plays computer games, it gives his brain a real workout. In many computer games, the skills required to win involve abstract and high-level thinking. These skills are not even taught at school. 1 "Poor at communication" means. a) unable to use their mobile phones b) clever at making fewer phone calls c) having difficulty in socialising with others d) having the ability to speak in public 2 Violence, cruelty and aggressiveness can be caused by. a) computer programmes c) technophobes 3 After reading the passage, we conclude that computer games. a) are a double-edged weapon c) have a lot of disadvantages
