Computer games are very popular．It is natural to want to win，so playing against a computer or against a friend on the computer can be difficult to stop “Just one more game，”often ruins into another game then another．

    Computer games do have their advantages．They are excellent for training． hand-eye coordination（协调）．Surgeons（外科医生）today who played computer games as children are often more skilled than those who didn't．Computer games can also be great for teaching students．The students are open to learning while playing and can study for longer than a teacher would be able to teach．Students can also learn at their own speed and not feel pressured（有压力的）to match classmates．And practice makes perfect．

    But like anything else in life，things should be balanced．Too much time on the computer can hurl．your eyes．Regular breaks（间歇）are needed．If students cannot stop playing computer games，they won't do as well in other areas in their life-not just schoolwork，but in developing important social skills such as how to talk with people and how to work with others as part of a team．And if they aren't taking regular exercise their health will suffer（受苦）．

    Computer games have their place，but people must also remember to lead well-balanced lives．

Jane Scott is fourteen and the year before last she began to study in a middle school. She likes dancing and singing and spends a lot of time on them. But she hates math and does not work hard at it. She thinks it difficult to learn. She falls behind her classmates and once failed the math exam. She decides to drop it. Her father is angry with her when he knows about it.
It was Sunday. Mr Scott gave a call to his sister, who teaches math in another school. He hoped she would come and tell his daughter how to learn math. The woman came quickly and said. “You’re a clever girl, Jane. I’m sure you’ll soon do well in math if you work hard at it.”
“I’m afraid I can’t, Aunt,” said Jane, “Girls can’t be good at math.”
“I don’t think so,” said the woman. “I was good at it when was a girl. You must do more exercises and practice a math problem again and again until you master it. Remember: Practice makes perfect. Well, it’s a math problem. Think about it and practice it again, and you’ll work it out.”
“OK,” said the girl, “Let me try.”
About an hour later, Jane took the exercise book to her aunt and said, “I’ve done the problem ten times.”
“Well done!” her aunt said happily, “What result did you get?”
“Ten answers.”
