People are playing video games everywhere these days, whether they’re riding a bus or sitting in a restaurant. Some of them e1. these games so much that they can’t put them down.
But is this a healthy habit? The World Health Organization (WHO) doesn’t t2. so. In June, it named “gaming disorder (障碍)” as a mental disorder in its International Classification of Diseases, CNN reported.
“Gaming disorder” refers to persistent (持续的) or recurrent (反复出现的) video-gaming behavior, whether online or offline. Of course, not everyone who plays video games has this disorder. It has three m3. characteristics (特征).
The first sign is when the player loses c4. over his or her gaming habits. The second is when playing games becomes more important than other a5. for the player. The third is when the condition leads to serious problems in the player’s personal and family life.
Many experts have welcomed the decision. It is believed that new ways to t6. this disorder will appear following the WHO classification.
In fact, some countries are already working to s7. this problem. South Korea has introduced a law banning (禁止) children under 16 from playing online games between midnight and 6 am, USA Today reported. Chinese tech company Tencent is also setting limits (限制) on the a8. of time that teenagers can play its games. Children between 12 and 18 years old can only play two hours per day.
If you have “gaming disorder", you should-ask for professional medical help. But you can Use delayed gratification (延迟满足）to d9. with it, if your condition is not that serious, the National Institute Of Education Sciences pointed that out.
For example, if you tell yourself not to play any video games on weekdays, you can allow yourself to play for three hours during the weekend. Or if you really want to play them after school, you can tell yourself that you cannot do so u10. you have finished your homework.
Each morning, I walked by a security guard (保安). He said hello to everyone that walked past him. I admired (佩服) how he knew so many people b1. their first names.
The first few times I saw him, I didn't say hello back to h2. when he greeted me. I was lost in my o3. world.
On Monday he asked, "How was your w4.?" I told him about my visit to my sick, elderly mother. He shared how he too had lost a parent to illness.
As I w5. away, I realized I did not even know his name. The f6. day, I asked, "What's your name?" He answered, "Gary." I said, "I'm Deborah." After that, we t7. a couple of times a week. We shared stories about our daily life, our dreams, and our families.
Gary got a job and m8. away. It's been years since I last spoke to him, b9. it seems like just yesterday we talked.
I look back at what became a friendship of sharing stories from the heart. When you say hello to a stranger, you become a pebble (鹅卵石) in the pool. With each ripple (连漪) you create, you spread l10. that continues to give. Make a point of saying hello to a stranger today, you will give the gift that keeps on giving.
