8 . Private identity is related to a person’s identity where he cannot describe his feeling publicly and has difficulties in expressing his ideas and thoughts or socializing with others. It is like being introverted (内向的) in front of the public. And public identity is related to somewhat expressing one’s feeling perfectly in front of the public. There are many factors for a person to be publicly introverted, which includes different languages and cultures.

Hunger of Memory: The Education of Richard Rodriguez written by Richard Rodriguez reflects his development from a disadvantaged son of Mexican immigrants living in northern California into a well-educated person. Rodriguez strongly believes that for accessing the privileges of public life, people must learn how to be assimilated into public society and depress their private identity. He argues that developing a public identity is directly related to maturing into adulthood.

Rodriguez states how he started his school life, from knowing only 50 words to becoming a publicly recognized professor and author. He argues that everyone deserves to speak in a public voice and feel belonging in a public society. But to gain this, one should make sacrifices to the expectations of society. This includes loss of private identity, because when a person starts spending more time acting and speaking in public, he starts to live a life with reduced intimacy (亲密).

Rodriguez accepts these facts because he remembers the feeling of closeness to his family as a child and how it started fading when he started living a public life. Rodriguez also argues that the school should be a place to build a child’s public identity rather than developing his private identity he has formed at home. He believes that one of the purposes of education is to develop children’s ability to speak in a public language, which is a crucial step in their development.

10 . For years video games have been criticized for making people more antisocial, overweight or depressed. Bui now researchers are finding that video games can actually change us for the better and improve both our body and mind.

Games can help to develop physical skills. Pre-school children who played interactive games have been shown to have improved motor skills, for example they can kick, catch and throw a ball better than children who don’t play video games. A study found that those who played video games were 27 percent faster and made 37 percent fewer errors than those who didn’t.

Games also benefit a variety of brain functions, including decision-making. People who play action-based games make decisions 25 percent faster than others, according to one study. It was also found that the best gamers can make choices and act on them up to six times a second, four times faster than most people. In another study by researchers from the University of Rochester in New York, experienced gamers were shown to be able to pay attention to more than six things at once without getting confused, compared with the four that most people can normally keep in mind.

There is also evidence that gaming can help with psychological problems. At the University of Auckland in New Zealand, researchers asked 94 young people diagnosed with depression to play a 3D fantasy game called SPARX and in many cases, the game reduced symptoms of depression more than conventional treatment.

The effects are not always so positive, however. Indiana University researchers carried out brain scans on young men and found evidence that violent games can adjust brain function after as little as a week of play, affecting regions in the brain associated with emotional control and causing more aggressive behavior in the player. But Danhne Bavelier, one of the most experienced researchers in the field, says that the violent action games that often worry p parents most may actually have the strongest beneficial effect on the brain. In the future, we may see many treatments for physical and neurological (神经的) problems, which include the playing of video games.
