Violent Games: Fun or Harmful?
If you play lots of video games, you've probably blown a zombie(僵尸) into tiny bits. 1 Many adults worry that playing such games could make children act violently in real life. Is that true?
The American Academy of Pediatrics(儿科) says that violence in any kind of media — from TV to music to video games — presents a risk to kids' health. A number of studies have shown a link between video games and aggression, including one published in JAMA Pediatrics in 2014, which found that kids who played violent video games showed an increase in aggressive thoughts and behaviors. 2
But not all studies agree that violent games cause kids to act out. Another study replaced violent deaths with evaporation(蒸发) in a game. 3 People who played the non-violent game without any training were more aggressive afterward than people who played the violent version but learned to control themselves first.
And here's an even stranger fact: When violent video games are released, people carry out fewer violent crimes! Why? 4 Steve Levitt, coauthor of the book Freakonomics, said, “If you can make video games fun enough, then kids will stop watching TV, and they'll stop going out and creating violent disorder on the street.”

Test-taking tips
Passing tests is a huge part of succeeding at school. Clearly, if you want to do well on a test,
you need to prepare by learning the material(资料) {#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Just breathe.
Even the best prepared student sometimes gets nervous before a test. Nervous feelings can cause people to forget facts that they know. {#blank#}2{#/blank#} Breathing deeply is helpful for this. So is moving your body slightly, such as by rolling your shoulders around. Try to arrive for a test a few minutes early, so you can relax before it starts.

When you are handed a test, look over all the questions before you begin. Read them carefully, noticing details. Also pay attention to how many points each question is worth. Divide your time based on the percentage of your grade each question is worth.
First answer questions you know and then go back to the difficult ones. {#blank#}4{#/blank#} But try to write an answer for every question on the test, even if you're not sure of the answer. The only exception(例外) is if you will lose points for wrong answers {#blank#}5{#/blank#}. If you're not sure whether you should change an answer, it's best not to. More often than not, your first instinct (本能) will be correct.
Try your best.
Above all, study well and try your best. If you do that, you can be proud of whatever score you get.
