Hi – tech maps of the mind that computer games are damaging brain development
and could lead to children’s being unable to control violent behaviour. Computer
games are creating a dumbed-down generation of children far more disposed to
violence than their parents, according to a controversial new study.The tendency to
lose control is not due to children’s absorbing the aggression involved in the
computer game itself, as previous researchers have suggested, but rather to the
damage done by stunting the developing mind.
Some experts used the most sophisticated technological devices available to
measure the level of brain activity of hundreds of teenagers playing a Nintendo game
and compared to the brain scans of other students doing a simple, repetitive
arithmetical exercise. To the surprise of brain-mapping expert Professor Ryuta
Kawashima and his team at Tohoku University in Japan, it was found that the
computer game only stimulated activity in the parts of the brain associated with vision
and movement. In contrast, arithmetic stimulated brain activity in both the left and

3
right hemispheres of the frontal lobe, which is the area of the brain most associated
with learning, memory and emotion. The most worrying of all was that the frontal
lobe, which continues to develop in humans until the age of about 20, also has an
important role to play in keeping an individual’s behaviour in check. Whenever you
use self-control to refrain from lashing out or doing something you should not, the
frontal lobe is hard at work.
The students who played computer games were halting the process of brain
development and affecting their ability to control potential anti-social elements of
their behaviour. “The importance of this discovery cannot be underestimated”,
Kawashima said, “there is a problem we will have with a new generation of children,
who play computer games that we have never seen before.” The implication are very
serious for an increasingly violent society and these students will be doing more and
more bad things if they are playing games and not doing other things like reading
aloud or learning arithmetic.”

B. brain activity in the right hemispheres of the frontal lobe

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer
sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 46 to 50.
When he was nine years old, Felix Finkbeiner gave a class presentation on climate
change. The young German spoke about deforestation and its effect on the planet.
At the end of his talk, he challenged the people of his country to help by planting one
million trees. Nobody thought much would come of a nine – year – old’s school project.
Before he was 20, however, Finkbeiner’s efforts had resulted in the planting of more
than 14 billion trees around the world.
Finkbeiner and his classmates began the project – named “Plant – for – the –
Planet” – by planting the first tree outside their school. Other schools followed the
example, and news of the one – million challenge spread. As a result, Finkbeiner was
asked to speak at the European Parliament. Other invitations soon followed, and when
he was just 13, he spoke at a United Nations conference in New York. “We cannot
trust that adults alone will save our future,” he said in the speech. “We have to take
our future in our hands.” Finkbeiner is ow in his twenties, and “Plant – for – the –
Planet” is an organization with around 70,000 members. It works to teach people
about climate change and to encourage the planting of more trees. Germany’s one
millionth tree was planted long ago. The goal now is one trillion – 150 for every person
on Earth.
Finkbeiner continues to give talks on climate change to world leaders. “I don’t
think we can give up on this generation of adults,” he says, “and wait 20 or 30 years
for our generation to come to power. We don’t have that time. All we can do is push
[current world leaders] in the right direction.”

A. He received an offer to make a speech at the European Parliament.
B. He began to teach people how to reduce the climate change.
C. He discussed the problem of climate change with world leaders.
D. He made a presentation at a United Nations conference in New York.
Question 49. In the third paragraph, what does the word “It” refer to?
A. The planting of more trees B. “Plant – for – the – Planet”

millionth tree
