Passage 3
1 Do video games make people angry? We don't know for sure, even though the
question is important for education and parenting. Many studies show that kids who regularly
play violent games show more savage behavior, but this is only a correlation and not a cause.
It could be that aggressive children prefer violent games, not that the games caused their
aggression.
2 In some studies, the victor of a video game has been given the opportunity to punish
their opponent by blasting them with noise, for example. It has been found that winners of
Violent games are more likely to punish their opponent than winners of non-violent games.
Violent games with a positive goal, such as saving others from virtual zombies, seem to have
less negative impact.
3 Other research shows that losing the game or finding the controls frustrating is what
leads to violence, not the content of the actual game itself.
4 We should also note that U.S. sales of violent video games have steadily increased
since the mid-1990s, while violent crime has declined—especially among adolescents.
56. Which word is closest in meaning to “blasting” (paragraph 2)?

4, Violent video games are not directly responsible for the quantity of violent crimes.
uuaoseu TGAT msndongy ded from the passage?
1, There is little research on children who play video games,
2, Winners of non-violent games never punish their opponent.
3, The violent content of video games always results in aggression,

1 Michelin, the French company famous for putting tires on cars for the last 130 years,
is the same company that names the world's finest dining establishments. What is the
connection between perfectly cooked filet mignon and rubber?
2 In 1900, brothers André and Edouard Michelin were looking to grow business fo,
their tire company. The idea was simple with a book with on-the-road information including
where to get gas and a list of places to eat. More places to visit equaled more cars on the
road and more tires sold.
3 In 1926, Michelin started to give stars to restaurants to rate the best spots. They gave
stars with a team of anonymous inspectors. Later, the company created a hierarchy, handing
out up to three stars for the best restaurants. Today, a restaurant gets three stars for excellent
cuisine that deserves a special journey.
4 Inspectors consider five parts: the quality of the food, the mastery of flavor and
cooking techniques, the personality of the chef, the value for money, and the similarity
between visits. The Michelin Guide rates thousands of restaurants in more than 30 regions
across three continents.
