says Latoya Owens,30，who suffers from hypertension.
“This is the most rewarding thing I’ve ever done，” says Alice.Adds Pat，“I’m alleviating (减轻)

I quit the game，WOW，a couple of years ago.My life has improved dramatically.I went from being
single to being engaged，I received a second promotion in my career，and life couldn’t be better.
But even then，I still had an urge to play and I thought about it every day.
About a month ago，I decided to start playing again.My friends still played and claimed that it’s
better than before.So I figured I’d give it a shot，and so far I’ve managed my time well.But the funny
thing is that I’m not enjoying it as much as I thought I would.That sense of accomplishment I used to
have back then is gone.I figured out why...
My enjoyment in the game came from progression.I loved accomplishing quests，hitting 60，and
then beating the bosses with 40 other people.Some nights sucked (糟透了)，when nothing was done.
But other nights，when we beat the hell out of a main boss，it felt incredible.I was actually progressing
and improving in something.It may not have been real life，but it was there，on my screen，and it was
visible for all to see.
But now I’ve actually pursued tangible goals，and realized the sense of accomplishment in WOW
is worthless.I don’t get excited when the list of epic drops from a boss is sent to me from my friends.I
haven’t even been interested in getting a flying mount，or PVP gear.I just don’t really care about them
.I actually don’t care about anything that happens in the game，except for some quests.1 out of every 10
quests you do has an enjoyable story that makes it more interesting.But even so，they are what you can
get out of a book，or a good single player game.
Even though WOW is enjoyable in some aspects，it’s extremely boring in others.Now to me，above
all，it’s not worth my time to go through it.
71．The underlined “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to________.
A．the game B．the urge
C．the promotion D．the goal
72．Why did the writer quit the game a couple of years ago?
A．Because he found much more fun from other games.
B．Because he couldn’t get progression sometimes.
C．Because he followed his girlfriend’s advice.
D．This passage doesn’t tell us.
73．According to the passage，we can infer that________.
A．WOW has changed greatly
B．WOW is attractive to everybody
C．the writer was once addicted to WOW
D．WOW helps you improve your life
74．What’s the only part of the game the writer is now interested in?
A．A flying mount. B．A main boss.
C．Some quests. D．Epic drops.
75．What can be concluded from the last paragraph?
A．Playing WOW is timeconsuming.
B．The writer won’t play WOW any more.
C．We must play the game in a proper way.

Teens are often called upon to care for a parent.Whether it is due to a short virus，broken legs or
longterm illness，there are times when parents can’t do it all on their own and a teen is the most
suitable person in the home to lend a helping hand.However，you are still a young person and should
be concentrating on your own education，so find support if you think it is imperative.
Understand the situation
It is of great importance.If you don’t know yet，find out what the injury or illness is，who your parent’s
doctors are and if there are any types of medications that will be taken (and when，and how)．Then you
can begin to make informed decisions about________and what you will not be able to do.
Find extra help
As a teen，no one would expect you to devote your life to caring for a parent and you should not feel as
though you need to do so either.Talk over your situation with your parent’s doctors，your relatives，
your adult friends，or even your teachers.They should be able to help you think out plans for caring for
your parent in future.
Know your limits
Not only is it important to understand the physical limits of how much you can do for a parent，but it is
important to understand your emotional limits.As__a__teenager__you__are__not__supposed__to__be__as__
