Scott Langteau has this message for kids: Spend less time playing video games.

It’s a message that many a mom and dad have tried to impress upon many a youngster (and some not-so-youngsters) who spend perhaps a bit too much time with game controllers in hand.

But the 40-year-old Langteau isn’t a parent.He’s a veteran(老手) of the video game industry --- one who played producer on three “Medal of Honor” games and co-founded his own game development company.

Langteau has just published a children’s book called “Sofa Boy”, which tells the story of a kid who spends too much time sitting on the couch with controller held in hand and the rather terrible consequences that follow.

It’s a fairy tale picked straight from Langteau’s own experiences as a kid with a fondness for video games and his own bouts with a bit of game addiction.But first, Langteau would like to make one thing clear: “I’m not saying that you shouldn’t play video games.I think video games are great.I think they do great things for kids.” Instead, Langteau says his book is all about a little something called “moderation(克制).”

“It’s about being well rounded,” he says.“Just like with anything else, we all need to make sure that there’s a variety in what we do.”

Video gamers can be rather bad-tempered when it comes to accepting criticism about their favorite entertainment.And understandably so.After all, most people who go around talking about the dangers of playing video games tend to be outsiders --- people who don’t play video games and certainly don’t understand that they can be a valuable and healthy form of entertainment.

But Langteau and “Soft Boy” seem to be in a unique position to deliver a message of gaming moderation that the young game masses might actually listen to.After all, this is a man who understands what it means to be a kid with a passion for games.His early experience has taught him a lesson.

67.Which of the following is true of the book “Sofa Boy”?

A.The boy in the book is not an addict on games.

B.The book describes a veteran on games.

C.The boy in the book wins a medal for games.

D.The book tells of the writer’s own story.

68.We learn from the passage that __________.

A.Langteau advises the young not to play games

B.playing video games is of no benefit to kids

C.playing video games ruins the future of kids

D.Langteau advises the young play games within limits

69.By saying “It’s about being well rounded”, Langteau thinks __________.

A.games should be viewed from all sides

B.games do great things for kids

C.gamers are usually fat and round

D.gamers are to blame for their behaviors

70.What topic will be discussed in the following paragraph?

A.His idea to create “Sofa Boy”.

B.His enthusiasm for games when he was a small boy.

C.His great achievement in games as a kid.

D.His hard times to set up his game company.

“The world’s oceans are slowly getting more acidic.” say scientists.The researchers from California report that the change is taking place in response to higher levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.

The lowering of the waters’ pH value is not great at the moment but could cause a serious threat to current ocean life if it continues, they warn.Ken Caldeira and Michael Wickett, from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, report their concerns in the journal Nature.Increasing use of oil fuels means more carbon dioxide is going into the air, and most of it will eventually be absorbed by seawater.Once in the water, it reacts to form carbonic acid.Scientists believe that the oceans have already become slightly more acidic over the last century.
