Jack Melville, one of the “gaming disorder”video game players, told China Daily that when he began playing video games, he promised himself to control the playing time less than one hour.But as he played video games more and more and got more pleasure from playing games, he couldn't control the time anymore and he even played video games through the night.

3 . The worst tourist in the world may be Mr. Smith in San Francisco.
Once he flew to his hometown in Italy from America to visit his family. The plane made a one-hour stop to get something at the airport in New York. But Mr. Smith mistook New York for Rome, so he got off the plane.
When nobody was there to meet him, Mr. Smith thought perhaps they were held up by heavy traffic. While looking for his address, Mr. Smith found that the old “Rome” had changed a lot. Many old buildings were replaced by high modern ones. He also found that many people spoke English instead of Italian.
Mr. Smith knew very little English, so he asked a policeman for help. Luckily, the policeman was also born in Italy and answered him in the same language.
After six-hour traveling around on a bus, the driver had to take him to a police station. Mr. Smith didn’t believe he was still in New York when he was told so. In order to catch a plane back to San Francisco, a policeman drove very fast with siren(警笛) on to sent Mr. Smith to the airport. “Look”, said Smith to himself, “I know I’m in Italy. That’s how the policeman drives.”

4 . What picture do you have of the future? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do you hope for about the future? Scientists think that life will probably be very different in 2050.
First of all, it seems that people won’t use TV channels by 2050. Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television.
Water will become a very serious problem. We’ll need much more water, but there won’t be enough. Some scientists think that water would be the cause of war.
Cars will run on new clean energy and they will go very fast. And there won’t be any accidents with the help of computers. On the other hand, space planes will take people around the world in two hours.
Robots will work in factories instead of people. Many factories have already used robots. Big companies prefer robots—they do not ask for money, and they work for 24 hours a day.
In a word, by 2050, our life will change a lot and our future will be quite different from now.
