A recent talk by games academic Jane McGonigal has re-ignited discussion on the role they play in our society. Traditionally, the debate has centered on whether they are "damaging" or merely "harmless fun". But McGonigal is a games advocate. Her belief is that games are actually good for us.
In order to solve the world’s most urgent problems, McGonigal says, we need to play more games because gaming creates people who are solution-focused, collaborative, optimistic and hard-working. This position is interesting, although open to the obvious critique that, unlike in-game challenges, real-world problems are not set up to be rewarding, interesting or even soluble, so framing them as a game is likely to lead nowhere. But there’s certainly potential in using game-like mechanics to encourage us to do things we otherwise might not want to: such as the S2H fitness monitor, which allows users to claim rewards for physical activity.
The wider point—whether playing games actually improves any of our skills—is still open for debate and research. Various studies have shown that playing certain games can increase players’ visual attention, fine motor skills and spatial reasoning. Intuitively, it is not surprising that practicing skills involving fast responses and complicated physical maneuvers might make us better at them.
But is this a reason to play games, or a useful position for gaming advocates? As a novelist, I’ve always found the idea of promoting reading because it improves cognitive skills deeply depressing. Reading is a wonderful thing not because it makes our brains better but because it is enjoyable, enriching and gives us new experiences: just like games.
Once someone has told you that something is good for you, it immediately becomes less attractive. I’m not sure it’s necessary to say that playing games will save the world or improve us. Can’t we just have fun? [br] Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
选项
A、Game-like mechanics may encourage people to try something new.
B、Certain games helps to improve players’ capacity of reasoning.
C、Playing games actually improves players’ skills.
D、Certain games can improve players’ speed of response
答案
C
解析
细节判断题。定位到第2段和第3段。根据第2段末句可知,A与原文内容相符。B、D两项在第3段也有提及,属游戏的正面作用。选项C,与第3段首句不符,本句提到,游戏是否有助提高技能,还有待研究讨论,本题为逆向选择题。故选C。
