遠(yuǎn)離電腦屏幕——防止嗜玩成癮每天下午,成百上千的年輕人涌進(jìn)網(wǎng)吧,接通游戲控制臺,或者坐下來自己一個人沉溺于夢幻世界。我說的是電子游戲,如反恐精英、暗黑破壞神、任天堂明星大亂斗或是光暈。這些游戲非常有趣、刺激,但這種嗜好很可能令人上癮。譯文Para2游戲僅供娛樂,卻并不能鍛煉智力。玩游戲不如讀本書那樣給予我們很多知識,況且花太多時間玩游戲也會占據(jù)我們讀書的時間。我們必須記住,我們最重要的角色是學(xué)生。沒有什么應(yīng)該影響我們認(rèn)真學(xué)習(xí)。譯文Para3電子游戲也會影響那些在邊上看的小孩子。許多電子游戲內(nèi)容暴力,其目標(biāo)大部分都是殺死其余玩家。我們必須告訴孩子暴力不可容忍,教會他們要像成年人一樣處理問題。而電子游戲并沒有傳達(dá)這一正確的信息。即使我們自己決定坐下來打一場刺激的電子游戲,也必須確保沒有影響到周圍的孩子。譯文Para4

業(yè)余時間玩游戲并不是件壞事。游戲是種很好的方式,能使我們學(xué)習(xí)后放松,同朋友聯(lián)系,或是培養(yǎng)我們的創(chuàng)造力。但是,游戲不應(yīng)該成為我們生活的中心。我們需要確保玩游戲不會影響學(xué)業(yè),而且不能整天都想著游戲。一旦發(fā)現(xiàn)自己玩得過火了,我們就需要戒癮。遠(yuǎn)離電腦或電視,學(xué)會更富有成效地利用時間。譯文1.imaginaryadj.

迪士尼樂園的來歷迪士尼樂園是全世界最受歡迎的勝地之一,經(jīng)常與大峽谷、拉什莫爾山等其他美國旅游勝地一起相提并論。迪士尼主題公園坐落在加利福尼亞州,并于1955年7月17號對外開放,至今已吸引了5億游客。Para2

華特·迪士尼與弟弟羅伊在創(chuàng)建迪士尼樂園之前已經(jīng)是好萊塢最成功電影制片廠之一的負(fù)責(zé)人了。這個創(chuàng)意來自華特·迪士尼,因為他意識到市場上缺乏能同時吸引家長和孩子的公園。所以,他想到了創(chuàng)建一個充滿家庭樂趣的樂園,與嘉年華巡回演出的游藝團(tuán)相似,不同的是他的樂園是常駐的。主題公園中展示眾多著名迪士尼角色的主意來源于很多迪士尼迷寫信要求華特滿足他們與電影中他們喜愛的迪士尼角色見面的愿望。

Para3華特在擁有大型主題公園的設(shè)想后,意識到自己需要籌措資金來實現(xiàn)夢想了。所以他決定通過美國廣播公司播放名為《迪士尼》的一個節(jié)目讓迪士尼樂園的理念深入到美國家庭,美國廣播公司作為回報決定資助新的迪士尼樂園。華特·迪士尼買下160英畝的地來建造迪士尼樂園。樂園于1954年7月18日動工,估計耗資1千7百萬美元。

Para4迪士尼樂園迅速成為一個興旺的美國風(fēng)景點,至今仍然有上百萬的游客絡(luò)繹不絕。迪士尼樂園如此受歡迎,以至于在其他地方也興建了迪士尼樂園,比如:奧蘭多、日本、中國以及法國。
