Do video games do harm to our children? Today, many children spend a lot of their free time playing games on the Internet. In the UK, 99%of kids aged8 to 15 play video gamesevery week. This information tells us that the benefits and dangers of video games must be carefully considered.
For many people, video games are fun. They have bright lights, funny cartoons and exciting stories. Everywhere you look, you can see children playing these games. They play on buses and trains, in restaurants and even at school.
Video games are educational too. They make kids think in acreative way andthey have to move their hands and eyes quickly. This can improve the way thatachild's brain works. What's more, video games make children use their imagination. The player has to do many creative things, like drawing, telling stories and building things. Video games are also a good way toteach children about technology because they can learn how computers and other devices work while they play.
However, a recent study suggests that video games can also be bad for children. First, children can download many games for free. This means that parents often don't know if their children are playing violent or scary games. Second, many children spend too much time playing games on computers and this can lead to health problems. Third, if children spend too much time playing games instead of doing homework, they can have problems at school and get bad grades. Finally, video gamescan affect children's social skills. If children spend too much time playing video games by themselves, they might not learn how to play with their friends.
In conclusion, it seems clear that video games have some advantages and some disadvantages. It is up to parents to know what games their children are playing and how much time they spend on them. Parents should also make sure their children get enough exercise and spend time with other children.

When it was rolled out, it formed large, thin flakes.Heasked his brother to serve it to the patients, and they loved it! In fact, they liked it so much that they wanted breakfast flakes sent to them even after they left the sanitarium. So Will started a new business in 1884: selling packaged breakfast flakes. Before long, Kellogg’s breakfast cereal was popular in other countries, too. Today, there are many kinds of breakfast cereals. But it all started with one man and one idea.
Will did more than just create breakfast flakes. His company made a lot of money. But he always shared it with othersgenerously. He used much of his money to help children.

There are about 1.5 million kinds of living things on Earth, but how many do you see every day? You often see the big colourful animals, like birds, rabbits, and fish. But look more closely. Can you see the small ones, too? Insects(昆虫)make up 80 percent of allthe world's living kinds. Look on the ground. Imagine you could look under the ground, too. Many small living things with one cell live there. Life is everywhere around us, in every cubic foot (a foot= 12 inches).
David Littschwager is a photographer who wanted to find out how many living things lived inone cubic foot. So he madea12-inch cube with a green metal frame. And then he put it in five habitats(栖息地). He chose a tropical rainforest(Costa Rica), a coral reef(PacificOcean), the Table Mountain(South Africa), a freshwater river(USA), and a small park(New York). Three weeks were spent at each place. He watched, counted, and took photos of everything down to I millimeter in size—that crawled(爬)or flew into the cube.
The results were amazing. Liittschwager found both common and rare living things. He discovered many new living kinds, likea strange transparent octopus that is the size of a fingernail!In total, more than a thousand living things were photographed. Liittchwager said the One Cubic Foot experience was like "finding treasure". David Liittschwager also found that the highest biodiversity(生物多样性)in the reef was in the skeleton coral(珊瑚遗骨). These skeleton coral are suitable for sea living things of all sizes to grow. Although the coral reef had the widest range of biodiversity, all the other habitats were full of life. Even the city park!

A.Life Is Everywhere B.Find Treasure in Nature
C.Five Habitats to Live in D.A Story of David Littschwager
One evening, Grandad said, "Ionce had a friend called Day. His first name was Henry, but everyone called him Happy. Happy Day made a very good living. He had been to many places and when he came to a place that he liked, he openeda pet shopand began selling African Ghost Fish.
"According to Happy, these are the world's only invisible fish, and they're especially good pets because they don't need any food. Onceayear, the female Ghost Fish lays eggs. Immediately after that, and if everything iscompletely quiet, she becomes visible. Butin a blink(眨眼)of an eye, she's gone again. If you see her, you're extremely lucky for she's the most beautiful creature alive.
"When Happy told his customers this story, his tanks of fish sold very quickly. When they were completely sold out, Happy usually left for another town. "
"Was that because his customers were not satisfied?"We asked.
"Not at all, "Grandad said. "His customers were completely satisfied. Many people told him that they got great pleasurefrom their invisible fish. It was so relaxing. A feweven claimed that they had seen afemaleGhost Fish, andit was truly unforgettable. Yes, Happy was a clever man, "
"Can you tell us some more about him?"We said.
"Not now, "said Grandad. "I'm tired, and I want a nap(打盹). Why don't you childrengo and watch the tank of Ghost Fish in my room? Remember, if you sit quietly and watch really closely, you might even see a female. "
