阅读下列短文,然后根据短支内容回答问题。

    Once my teacher asked me, "What do you think of computer games?" I thought for a while and answered, "They are good and all right". However, more and more young people spend too much time on them. So most of the parents and teachers don't like them. But I think there is nothing wrong with computer games themselves.

First of all, we must admit (承认) that computer games make our life more interesting and colorful. They add excitement to our life. Secondly, they have some advantages such as enriching(使丰富) our imagination, improving our concentration and extending our mind.

Everything has its limit(界限). If you go beyond the limit, it'll be another situation. Believe it or not, computer games can be your enemy if you lose control(控制) of yourself. That's why some people are deeply influenced while others are not. As we can see, to play or not to play, that is the question.

1. What did the writer think of computer games before?

_____________________________________________________________

2. Why don't most of the parents and teachers like computer games?

_____________________________________________________________

3. According to the text, what can be your enemy if you lose control of yourself?
