远离电脑屏幕——防止嗜玩成瘾每天下午,成百上千的年轻人涌进网吧,接通游戏控制台,或者坐下来自己一个人沉溺于梦幻世界。我说的是电子游戏,如反恐精英、暗黑破坏神、任天堂明星大乱斗或是光晕。这些游戏非常有趣、刺激,但这种嗜好很可能令人上瘾。译文Para2游戏仅供娱乐,却并不能锻炼智力。玩游戏不如读本书那样给予我们很多知识,况且花太多时间玩游戏也会占据我们读书的时间。我们必须记住,我们最重要的角色是学生。没有什么应该影响我们认真学习。译文Para3电子游戏也会影响那些在边上看的小孩子。许多电子游戏内容暴力,其目标大部分都是杀死其余玩家。我们必须告诉孩子暴力不可容忍,教会他们要像成年人一样处理问题。而电子游戏并没有传达这一正确的信息。即使我们自己决定坐下来打一场刺激的电子游戏,也必须确保没有影响到周围的孩子。译文Para4

业余时间玩游戏并不是件坏事。游戏是种很好的方式,能使我们学习后放松,同朋友联系,或是培养我们的创造力。但是,游戏不应该成为我们生活的中心。我们需要确保玩游戏不会影响学业,而且不能整天都想着游戏。一旦发现自己玩得过火了,我们就需要戒瘾。远离电脑或电视,学会更富有成效地利用时间。译文1.imaginaryadj.

迪士尼乐园的来历迪士尼乐园是全世界最受欢迎的胜地之一,经常与大峡谷、拉什莫尔山等其他美国旅游胜地一起相提并论。迪士尼主题公园坐落在加利福尼亚州,并于1955年7月17号对外开放,至今已吸引了5亿游客。Para2

华特·迪士尼与弟弟罗伊在创建迪士尼乐园之前已经是好莱坞最成功电影制片厂之一的负责人了。这个创意来自华特·迪士尼,因为他意识到市场上缺乏能同时吸引家长和孩子的公园。所以,他想到了创建一个充满家庭乐趣的乐园,与嘉年华巡回演出的游艺团相似,不同的是他的乐园是常驻的。主题公园中展示众多著名迪士尼角色的主意来源于很多迪士尼迷写信要求华特满足他们与电影中他们喜爱的迪士尼角色见面的愿望。

Para3华特在拥有大型主题公园的设想后,意识到自己需要筹措资金来实现梦想了。所以他决定通过美国广播公司播放名为《迪士尼》的一个节目让迪士尼乐园的理念深入到美国家庭,美国广播公司作为回报决定资助新的迪士尼乐园。华特·迪士尼买下160英亩的地来建造迪士尼乐园。乐园于1954年7月18日动工,估计耗资1千7百万美元。

Para4迪士尼乐园迅速成为一个兴旺的美国风景点,至今仍然有上百万的游客络绎不绝。迪士尼乐园如此受欢迎,以至于在其他地方也兴建了迪士尼乐园,比如:奥兰多、日本、中国以及法国。
