35.Playing video games can be a fun way to spend time with friends.In some schools,teachers use games like Minecraft to encourage teamwork and communication. But for some players,gaming is an unhealthy habit.They stay up late playing games.They do little or no homework.They give u other hobbies and pay little attention to their families and friends.The video-game world seems a friendlier place than the real one. Mental (精神的) heath experts have taken notice.The World Health Organization (WHO) listed"gaming disorder (電玩失調癥)" as a disease (疾病).A person may have the disorder if gaming has done harm to his or her relationships with family and friends,and if it has influenced his or her daily activities. Not all experts agree that over-gaming should be called a disorder.They say people who spend too much time on video games may develop other mental health problems.These should be treated first Others think WHO did the right thing.Clifford Sussman is a doctor who treats gaming addiction (癮).He says those kids often get angry easily and it makes everything difficult for them to complete,like schoolwork. Sussman advises tracking (跟蹤) how long you play.He says you should take at least an hour-long break after every hour of play.The brain needs time to recover. Young gamers who think they might have a problem should ask an adult for help.Sussman suggests you first answer a simple question: "Are you in control,or is the game in control?"

36.Terrible weather events are harming the planet,and experts warn of even greater results to come.The sea ice loss and the Arctic ice melting(融化) caused by climate change have increased much in the last ten years.So they have pushed down the number of polar bears and seals while polar bears depend on sea ice for hunting seals. According to the data from the WMO,temperatures on the Antarctica(南極洲) just hit 18.3℃,which is higher than the record of 17.5℃ in March,2015.Moreover,temperatures in this area have warmed about 3℃ over the last 50 years.Although such temperatures might be considered pleasant for a picnic or a hiking trip,this is the Antarctica we are talking about.It is home to the most inhospitable environment on the planet because it is supposed to be an extremely cold place.In fact,the average temperature of the continent's central area is -57℃. Besides,many places are experiencing the extreme weather this summer.Australia is undergoing its worst drought(干旱) since the 1930 s,leaving bushfires burning so long and causing many deaths.Meanwhile in Europe,crops in the northwest are suffering the driest weather in the past 80 years.Recently West Texas in America has also gone through its worst drought in more than 70 years,while floods have hit Eastern and Southern China. "Climate change is bad for us human beings,which causes direct health problems.I'm afraid there will be more common events like the one that 30,000 to 50,000 persons died in Europe in 2003 due to the heat wave there," Professor Schwartz said. "It will also cause more air pollution,diseases and lack of clean water and so on."
