Have you ever skipped
sleeping over a video game? Computer game designers often create interesting
video games to tempt players to keep playing. These days, many employees are
found to play video games at work even though their employers have set rules to
stop them from doing so. In fact, video game addiction is regarded as harmful,
just like addiction to drugs, alcohol, or gambling, and should be treated with
care.
In the workplace, addicted
players are often seen as lazy, not sick; their bosses are not sympathetic to
their addiction. If they have been caught several times playing video games at
work, their salary may be cut, and even worse, they may lose their jobs. In
some companies, the addicted players are allowed to play video games only on
stressful days, but their bosses will check their computers from time to time
to make sure that they are doing their work. However, while some companies
continue to find some methods of preventing workday playing, addicted players
still have their own ways to enjoy playing video games during working hours.

A new food bank was just
opened recently in Taichung. People in financial difficulties can go there to pick up relief products, and like going
to a supermarket, they can get what they need, free of charge and with dignity.
In all food banks, items are donated by businesses, with a small number of
products, such as diapers and vitamins, purchased with subsidies from the city
government. One important goal of the food banks is to reduce the waste of
resources while giving away food and other daily necessities to those in need.
Most food banks often hand out food packs without giving recipients a choice of
the items. In that way, products still go to waste if the recipients are unable
to use them. Moreover, the food packs do not contain milk powder or diapers to
meet the needs of infants. However, at the new supermarket-like food bank,
recipients can choose what they want and what they need from a wide range of
products, which include diapers, infant formula milk powder, and children’s
shoes.
In addition, the new food
bank holds activities similar to those in other food banks. For instance,
volunteers plan special holiday surprises for recipients and give away festive
foods such as mooncakes. The main beneficiaries of food banks are the people
who need a helping hand to avoid extreme poverty. Regardless of how they work,
all food banks share the same goal: to lift disadvantaged families out of
poverty.
ˉ
( ) 46. What is the purpose of food banks?
(A) To sell food at a reasonable price to
all consumers.
(B) To provide goods for free to people in
financial need.
(C) To build a supermarket-like environment
for shoppers.
(D) To get rid of unwanted goods and foods.
ˉ
( ) 47. How is the supermarket-like food bank
different from other food banks?
(A) It sells all kinds of food, so nothing
is wasted.
(B) It allows recipients to choose what
they need.
(C) It receives help from the government.
(D) It holds activities for special
holidays.
ˉ
( ) 48. According to the passage, which of the
following is true?
(A) Relief products are wasted if
recipients choose what they want.
(B) The city government buys only vitamins
and diapers.
(C) The supermarket-style food bank meets
the needs of infants only.
(D) Food banks work to improve the life of
the poor.
ˉ
( ) 49. Which of the following is closest in meaning
to pick up in line 2 of the first
paragraph?
(A) clean (B)
understand (C) get (D) learn
ˉ

banks, as mentioned in the second paragraph?
(A) The poor. (B) People in need. (C)
Food recipients. (D) Business owners.
