How to Cut Back on Playing Video Games
As you get older and shoulder more responsibilities in your life, your gaming time might need to adjust. Here’s what worked well for me.
Start Tracking Your Gaming Time
One of the reasons why video games eat up so much time is that they’re so engaging. I can’t count how many times I’ve sat down to play games for “a couple of minutes” then looked up to see hours have gone by.
Tracking your gaming time can help, says psychologist John M. Grohol. Prepare a spreadsheet or a piece of paper, and write down when you start playing a game and when you stop.【小题1】I found it helpful.
Start Choose Games Wisely
【小题2】. MMOs and RPGs, for example, are major time sinks. I would probably cry if I looked at my total time spent during the golden age of World of War-craft.
If you’re having a hard time stepping away from these kinds of games because there’s so much to do in them, cut them out of your gaming diet.【小题3】. That way, you can play in short bursts. I still indulge in these kinds of games occasionally, but I don’t play as much as I used to.
Figure Out What You’re Escaping
Video games are a fun way to de-stress and also one of the most advanced forms of escapism out there. To reduce my gaming thirst I started looking at my escapism habits from another angle.【小题4】.
Video games do offer a nice respite from the harsh truths of reality. More often than not, I would be able to identify the things that were stressing me out and making me want to escape to virtual worlds in the first place. If work was getting me down, I’d make a practical plan on how to improve it instead of grapping a controller.【小题5】. The real world doesn’t always offer that, but it never will if you always run from the issues in your life.
A.Why not get away from the game you are crazy about?
B.Shift your focus to games that are more pick-up-and-play.
C.Then add up your total gaming time at end of each week.
D.We find it hard to get rid ourselves of the addiction to games
E. I asked myself “What am I hiding from?” and worked from there
F. Some games require a much bigger time investment than other games
G. We often run to video games because they make us feel powerful and in control

How old is “old”? 【小题1】 Two hundred years ago, you were old at 35. That was the average life then. At the turn of this century, as medical knowledge advanced, the average life span(长度) increased to 45. In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old is looking forward to many more active years.
So, how old is old? The answer is one you’ve heard many times, from all sorts of people. “You are as old (or young) as you feel!” The calendar(日历) simply tells you how many years you have lived.   【小题2】
Once an unknown author wrote,“  【小题3】. Nobody grows old by living a number of years; people grow old by giving up their goals.”
【小题4】. Alice Brophy, when she was with the New York City commission for the Aging, said, “It upsets me when people say, ‘Gee, you look young for your age!’ What does that mean? Is there some model that you’re supposed to look a certain way at 65 and 75 and 85? You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80”
There are many wrong ideas about aging.  【小题5】. Here are some of the more common ones. For example, most older people are in poor health, or older people are unable to change.
A.It’s extremely terrible to be grown old.
B.Youth is not a time of life but it is a state of mind.
C.These ideas stereotype(固化) people on the basis of age.
D.Old is a point of view.
E. Older people are stubborn, unable to change.
F. The answer has changed over the years.
G. Your body tells you how well you’ve lived.
