Childhood is a time of fun and games. Many people still remember when they were young, they often played games like hide-and-seek and chess. Playing teaches children how to get with others, and it also helps to exercise the mind and body. However, children today spend most of their time in front of the computer, playing video games.
A recent survey found that in the US. Children between 8 and 12 spend at least 13 hours a week playing video games or "gaming". Boys of this age spend even more time, almost 16 hours a week. Although some people will say that gaming is helpful, it brings many problems as well.
One big problem is that kids who spend most of their time on games might have difficulty communicating with real people. They might have trouble sharing and resolving (解决) problems because they do not practice these skills when sitting alone at a computer.
Another problem is about health. Game players usually sit for hours without doing any exercise. And they might not eat healthily. As a result, they might be out of shape.
Next, game players might have trouble with their lessons. Many of them spend more time playing games than working on their homework. In the end, they fail in the exams.
Finally, it is always possible that the gamers become addicted. Some people play four or five hours a day or even all day. This happened to a 28 - year - old Korean man. He spent about 50 hours playing an online game without sleeping or eating well. He died while gaming!
This is one example of the dangers of video gaming. It tells us that video gaming, like everything else, should not be done too much. A few hours a week should not hurt, but several hours a day just might be dangerous to your health

　　Comera is the only place in the world which has a whistle(口哨)language．We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island．But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language．There are many deep valleys(峡谷)on the island．A person on one side of a valley can not easily shout to a person on the other side．But he can whistle and be heard．Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles．The people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well．They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers．

　　We can understand why the whistle language continues．It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn．When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of telephone．If the sick person is quite far away from the town, people pass the message from one to another．A boy guarding cattle(放牛)on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat．The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town．People help one another in the same way when a car breaks or a cow is lost．

　　The whistle language is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more．Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in the different parts of a country．But on Comera you are nobody if you cannot whistle．Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island, the people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions．
