         You may know Joe Cheng, who plays the most popular boy in high school in the popular Taiwanese drama
    "It Started with a Kiss."
          Although thousands of girls have fallen in love with him for his cute smile and strong body, Cheng, 27,
    doesn't want to rest on his good looks. He made the move from modeling to acting six years ago, and now he
    is trying another career-this time, to be a singer. Cheng worked on his first album,"Joe Cheng's Day", for a

    school."Being very active in the students union, I was elected president. I liked to organize parties and field
    trips, so many teachers and students knew me," he said.
          Cheng once dreamed of becoming a cartoonist, and he regrets that he never did it. Now he hopes his
    teenage fans can learn from his life."When you are in school, just focus on studies," Cheng said. "Every young
    heart is eager to explore the world outside. But take your time. Finish your studies first."

         Should parents ever hit their children?
         Research suggests many of us are likely to respond"no", and public support for spanking (打屁股) has been
    falling over the years. But surveys also show that 75 percent to nearly 90 percent of parents admit to spanking
    their child at least once.
         I was raised in a zero-tolerance home for disrespect, and my parents often turned to physical punishment.
    And, no, I don't feel I was damaged by it.
        Nothing is more annoying than watching ill-mannered behavior from children.
         But there is data to suggest that a return to old-school spanking isn't the answer.
         Two years ago, Newsweek reported that it had found data suggesting that teens whose parents used
    physical punishment were more likely to become aggressive.
         Murray Straus, professor at the University of New Hampshire in America, has studied the topic of children
    and spanking for decades. He said that children who were physically punished have lower IQs than their peers.
    It may be that children with lower IQs were more likely to get spanked, but the punishment may have been
    counterproductive (反作用的) to their mental development, as well.
         Some researchers make the argument that occasional open-handed smacks (用巴掌打) on the bottom are
    not only harmless but can have some benefit.
         Last year, Marjorie Gunnoe, a psychologist at Calvin College, studied teens who have never been spanked.
    There are a greater number of children growing up without ever having been physically punished. Gunnoe's
    research suggests they don't turn out any better than those who were sometimes spanked. 
         There are some parents who simply cannot control their tempers (脾气). But I still believe that the best
    parents are the ones who are able to offer fair and firm discipline without ever turning to physical punishment.
    1. According to the first three paragraphs, the author was probably hit by her parents when _____.
    A. they were dissatisfied with her grade
    B. she showed no respect for the elder
    C. they cannot control their temper
    D. their discipline turns out to be not strict enough
    2. According to Murray Straus, children who are physically punished _____.
    A. are less aggressive toward others when they get older
    B. have slower physical development
    C. benefit from occasional spanking
    D. may develop lower IQs than their peers
    3. The author seems to agree that ______.
    A. parents should determine whether a child needs to be smacked or not
    B. children who have been spanked tend to behave better than those who haven't
    C. good parents discipline their children in a fair and reasonable way
    D. physical punishment should be the last resort (手段) of any parent

         At Institute for the Future, game designer Jane McGonigal creates massive (大规模的) multi-player free
    online role-playing games (MMORPGs), which focus on social changes and environmental problems. She
    hopes that players will use their new skills to make the real world better.
         According to Jane, our addiction to gaming is actually a great thing, so long as we use it properly. Speaking
    at the TED (Technology/Entertainment/Design) 2010 Conference, Jane says that people should devote more
    time to games to build the skills necessary to make the world better. People who take part in MMORPGs
    develop specialized skills in problem-solving as a team. So, if gamers are willing to take part in role-playing
    games based on real-world problems,they will be able to work together to find ways that can be used in the
    real world.
         Jane focuses on creating the kinds of video games that enable players to make a difference in their own
    lives and the lives of those around them. In 2007, she helped create a video game called A World Without Oil,
    in which 1, 800 players tried to find new ways to transport themselves in a world without oil. Even after
    completing the game, the players focused on the problem and its possible solutions. Her next game, Evoke,
    takes an even more practical way. Game players are mainly young people in Africa. They will learn to create a
    business that will help stop problems such as poverty and AIDS on a local level. By the end of the game,
    players will be guided by experts on how to start their own businesses.
          "We can make any future we imagine and we can play any games we want," she said at the TED
    Conference."So let the world-changing games begin."
