People spend a lot of time using phones and computers. Much of that time is devoted to text messages and social media. But many people choose to spend their time playing computer games. For years, parents and teachers have worried that these games might be addictive.
[19] And now, the World Health Organization has recognized addition to computer games as a disease. The organization explains that this decision reflect general agreement among experts around the world that some people have a problem with these games. They show a pattern of behavior characterized by a lack of control. [20] Such people make computer games a priority over their responsibilities. They may play games instead of attending school or work or socializing.
According to the World Health Organization experts, people’s use of computer games is different from their use of Internet, social media and on line shopping. [21] These experts claim there is not sufficient data to indicate that people’s reliance on those other activities is an addiction. But they argue that playing computer games to excess is different. This behavior can become a disorder. To meet the new definition for addiction, the behavior must damage a person’s relationships or performance at school or work. and this must last for at least a year.
Still not all behaviour experts agree. Some argue that there is not enough research on the subject, but they claim it is too early to call computer game an addiction a disorder.

Passage Three
v 听力原文
Maybe you carry the most powerful passport in the world, or perhaps the rarest passport. Whatever the case your passport will likely be one of four colors—red, blue, green. or black—although there are slight variations. Switzerland passport is dark red, for example, [22] while most European countries prefer a shade of red that’s almost brown.

The international civil aviation organization(ICAO), which works to define the principles of air travel, suggests that countries use a suitable type, size and style for official documents like passports. There are also a few compulsory aspects of passports. They must be made from a material that bends, They should be able to be read by a machine at temperatures ranging from 10°C to 50 °C under conditions where the air can be extremely dry or moist.
Despite these existing recommendations, there is nothing regarding the cover color. [24] Why? Simply put, countries stick to darker and more conservative colors because they appear more official. And they can also hide dirt and wear.
