1. (2023八上·无锡月考)  阅读理解

Childhood is a time of fun and games. Many people still remember when they were young, they often played games like hide-and-seek and chess. Playing teaches children how to get along with others, and it is helpful to children. However, children today spend most of their time playing video games in front of the computer, . 

A recent survey(调查) found that in the US. Children between 8 and 12 spend at least 13 hours a week playing video games or "gaming". Boys of this age spend even more time, almost 16 hours a week. Although some people will say that gaming is helpful, it brings many problems as well.

One big problem is they may have difficulty communicating(交流) with real people. They may have trouble sharing and solving（解决）problems because they do not practice these skills when sitting alone at a computer. 

Another problem is about health. Game players usually sit for hours without doing any exercise. And they may not eat healthily. As a result, their health problem will become more and more serious. 

Next, game players may have trouble with their lessons. Many of them spend more time playing games than working on their homework. In the end, ____. 

Finally, it is always possible that the games become addicted. Some people play four or five hours a day or even all day. This happened to a 28-year-old Korean man. He spent about 50 hours playing an online game without sleeping or eating well. He died while gaming!

This is one example of the dangers of video gaming. It tells us that we shouldn't spend too much time on it. A few hours a week should not hurt, but several hours a day may be dangerous to your health.
