A lot of grown-ups worry that spending too much time playing video games isn’t good for a kid’s health. Now some doctors have noticed that kids who bring their hand-held game players to the hospital seem less worried about being there. These patients also seem to experience less pain when they are concentrating on a superhero adventure or a car race. At the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center in Maryland, young patients are finding hospital visits easier to deal with, thanks to a test program called the Hospital-based On-line Pediatric Environment (HOPE). Patients in HOPE have a life-threatening condition where their kidneys(腎臟)no longer filter(過濾)wastes from their blood. To get their blood cleaned, these kids must be hooked up to dialysis(透析) machines at the hospital three times a week, for at least three hours each time. HOPE allows kids to play online sports, racing, and adventure games with each other. Eventually they will be able to connect with kids in other hospitals who are suffering from the same problem. "We want to use the power of the Internet to bring together kids who feel that they are separated by their illness, and let them know that they are not alone," said Arun Mathews, the doctor who heads the program. He loves video games himself and got the idea to connect kids all over the country. Many researchers elsewhere are testing video game programs that might help young patients. For example, nine-year-old Ben Duskin of San Francisco, who was struggling with cancer helped to design a video game where players get rid of cancer cells. That’s all great news, because doctors already know that reducing pain and worry helps patients heal faster.

What’s the main idea of the passage?

A. Playing video games too much is bad for kids’health.

B. Playing video games seems to be beneficial to young patients’ recovery.

C. Doctors find that reducing pain helps patients recover faster.

D. Doctors invent a game to help kids in hospitals.

How long will it take a patient to get his blood cleaned in a week?

A. About 3 hours.   B. About 6 hours.  C. About 9 hours. D. About 21 hours.

According to Arun Mathews, the main purpose of HOPE is to _________.

A. encourage kids to play online games

B. teach kids how to design video games

C. help kids who are suffering from illness connect with each other

 D. make parents worry less about their kids playing video games too much

Which of the following plays the most important role in the HOPE project?

A. Music.  B. The Internet. C. Novels.  D. Films.

What can we learn from the passage?

A. Nine-year-old Ben Duskin, who has a cancer, is very brave and clever.

B. Many parents want their children to play video games because it’s good for their health.

C. Doctors are not sure whether reducing pain and worry can help the patients recover faster.

D. HOPE allows kids to play online games only with the kids in the same hospital.

If you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? __76__ But it never lets you know, because you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity(創(chuàng)造力) gets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “ What happens next?”, “Why can’t I think?”
__77__ Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other aspects of our life, we have to take help from reading.
Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you. __78__ Now this seed(果實(shí)) is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas. If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate(聯(lián)系) a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!
This is nothing but creativity. __79__ Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.
So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. __80__ Go and get a book!

A．The interesting part of the book is stored(存儲(chǔ)) in your mind as a seed.
B．Why not do some reading while you are hungry?
C．Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry.
D．Now what are you waiting for?
E.Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading.
F.Reading can help you make more friends, too.
G.Also this makes a significant contribution to your vocabulary.

When you are waiting in front of a theater or at the train terminals, you will realize how important punctuality is. Punctuality is really a virtue, especially in a busy city.      1.      .

Punctuality is the main constituent(構(gòu)成部分)of good character.  2.   On the other hand, a person who is always late shows his selfishness and thoughtlessness and he is not worthy to be friends with.

Some people often say that they cannot always be punctual since traffic is so heavy these days.   3.     As everybody knows, we might meet an unexpected jam on the roads, so we should leave a bit earlier for the appointment to ensure that we would not be late.

   4.   . When they finally arrive, they keep on saying sorry to their friends and then explain. The excuse is not always traffic jam. Sometimes they complain that they have met a friend on the road or have helped a blind man to cross the road. Some also like to blame their watches, the clocks at home or in the office. To such people, we cannot help but say sorry that we have come too early.

Yet after all, such smart fellows will soon find that gradually their friends become fewer and fewer. Perhaps at that time, they would realize how important punctuality is.

   5.   . So when we are young, we should try to be punctual every time and never be late, for it is much more easily acquired in youth than when we are older.

A. To be or not to be punctual is a habit.

B. It is polite to be punctual when you are invited to a party.

C. Some people always have a lot of excuses for coming late.

D. I think traffic jam cannot be an excuse for being late.

E. In western countries, punctuality is very important in social life.

F. Perhaps if everybody were punctual, there would be less suffering and sorrow.

G. A person who is always on time for his appointment shows real consideration for others.
