COULD COMPUTER
GAMES BE GOOD FOR YOU AFTER ALL
In Britain, the average young person now spends more money on games each year
than on going to the cinema or renting videos. But is this……..31……a bad thing?
For years, newspaper reports have been ………32….. that children who spend too
much time playing computer games become unsociable, bad- tempered, even violent
as a……..33…… But new research,……34…… out in both Europe and the USA, suggests
that the opposite may be true.
Indeed, playing some of the more complicated games may help people of all
ages to improve certain skills. Researchers claim that this is because the
games………35……the brain work harder in certain ways, like……..36……sounds and
movements quickly and identifying what they are. The fact that people play the
games repeatedly……..37…….. that they get a lot of practice in these skills
which are therefore likely to become highly developed.
Social skills may benefit, too. Researchers in Chicago think that fans of
first- person shooter games……38…… “Counterstrike” are better than non-players
when it comes to building trust and co-operation, and that this……..39……them to
make good friendships and become strong members of their communities. So rather

them?

following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 41 to 50
A number of factors related to the voice reveal the personality of the
speaker.
The first is the broad area of communication, which includes imparting
information by use of language, communicating with a group or an individual and
specialized communication through performance. A person conveys thoughts and
ideas through choice of words, by a tone of voice that is pleasant or
unpleasant, gentle or harsh, by the rhythm that is inherent within the language
itself, and by speech rhythms that are flowing and regular or uneven and
hesitant, and finally, by the pitch and melody of the utterance. When speaking
before a group, a person's tone may indicate uncertainty or fright, confidence
or calm. At interpersonal levels, the tone may reflect ideas and feelings over
and above the words chosen, or may belie them. Here the participant’s tone can
consciously or unconsciously reflect intuitive sympathy or antipathy, lack of
concern or interest, fatigue, anxiety, enthusiasm or excitement, all of which
are .usually discernible by the acute listener. Public performance is a manner
of communication that is highly specialized with its own techniques for
obtaining effects by voice and /or gesture. The motivation derived from the
text, and in the case of singing, the music, in combination with the
performer's skills, personality, and ability to create empathy will determine
the success of artistic, political, or pedagogic communication.
Second, the voice gives psychological clues to a person's self-image,
perception of others, and emotional health. Self-image can be indicated by a
tone of voice that is confident, pretentious, shy, aggressive, outgoing, or
exuberant, to name only a few personality traits. Also the sound may give a
clue to the facade or mask of that person, for example, a shy person hiding
behind an overconfident front. How a speaker perceives the listener's receptiveness,
interest, or sympathy in any given conversation can drastically alter the tone
of presentation, by encouraging or discouraging the speaker. Emotional health
is evidenced in the voice by free and melodic sounds of the happy, by
constricted and harsh sound of the angry, and by dull and lethargic qualities
of the depressed.
