| Line | COULD COMPUTER GAMES BE GOOD FOR YOU AFTER ALL |
| 1 | In Britain, the average young person now spends more money on games each year than on going to |
| 2 | the cinema or rent videos. But is this necessarily a bad thing? For years, newspaper reports have |
| 3 | been telling that children who spend too much time to play computer games become unsociable, |
| 4 | bad- tempered, even violent as the result. But a new research, carried out in both Europe and |
| 5 | the USA, suggests that the opposite may be true. |
| 6 | Indeed, playing some of the more complicate games may help people of all ages to improve certain |
| 7 | skills. Researchers claim that this is because of the games make the brain work harder in certain ways, |
| 8 | like noticing sounds and movements quick and identifying what they are. The fact that people play |
| 9 | the games repeatedly means that they get a lot of practice in these skills, which are therefore like to |
| 10 | become highly developed. |
| 11 | Social skills may benefit, too. Researchers in Chicago think that fans of first- person shooter games |
| 12 | such as “Counterstrike” are better than non-players when it comes to building trust and co- operation, |
| 13 | and that this helps them to do good friendships and become strong members of their communities. |
| 14 | So rather than giving up computer games, perhaps young people need spending more time on them? |

Space Tourism
If you are like most people, you probably dream of spending your next vacation sightseeing or relaxing in a tropical spot. But pretty soon, you may have the option of blasting into space and exploring the universe. It appears that space tourism may start to experience a boom that is sure to be out of this world.
Since ancient times, humans have surely dreamed about visiting space. However, it was just a fantasy until 1961, when Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin became the first person to fly into space. Yet in the years following, only a few highly-trained Soviet and American astronauts managed to leave the Earth’s atmosphere. In the mid-1980s, the US began to relax some of its restrictions. In 1986, an engineer named Charles Walker became the first non-government employee to fly into space. A year later, an American teacher named Christa McAuliffe was chosen to be the first teacher in space. Unfortunately, the Space Shuttle she was on, The Challenger, crashed during takeoff, killing everyone on board. Space tourism got an unexpected boost from the collapse of the Soviet Union. With Russia’s space programme in dire need of money, it became open to offers for space tourism. In 1990, a Japanese reporter was allowed to fly with a Russian crew into space, but the trip would cost his employer $28 million. In the late 1990s, a private company, MirCorp, started organizing trips to space for wealthy individuals. Now, many other companies are trying to do the same.
Still, most people who want to become space tourists face a major barrier: the price. Early space tourists have paid dozens of millions of dollars for a seven-to- ten-day stay outside the Earth. However, there are some indications that the price will come down in the near future. Some corporations are gearing up for this with big plans to make space a more hospitable place. The luxurious hotel chain Hilton has expressed interest in opening a space hotel in the next 15 to 20 years. Meanwhile, some experts believe that flights to and from the moon could become a common occurrence within a few decades. Hopefully someday soon we will all have the chance to get to know our solar system a little bit better.

C: It delayed the start of space tourism for many years.

5: What is MirCorp?
A: A company that develops equipment for space tourism
B: A company that fights against bringing people into space
C: A Russian government agency that trains astronauts
D: An organization that plans trips for people who want to visit space
6: Why aren’t more people taking vacation in space?
A: Space tourism hasn’t proven to be safe just yet.
B: Most governments have made it illegal to travel in space.
C: Many are waiting for the cost to come down.
D: Many have stated that there is not much to see in space.
