During the years ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )of game making, there have been a number of games. Many old games have gone since modern games came out.
Teachers at a p ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )rimary school asked their students to write articles about games they knew and were surprised by the results. Half of the 50 children in one of the classes wrote about online games.
It is easy to see ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that traditional games like hide-and-seek and jump rope games are unfamiliar to m any of today's schoolchildren. They like to play computer games, especially in the cities, with the rising popularity of TV, the Internet, video and online games.
An education ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ist said, "Traditional games used to be so popular, but over just a few years, kids have forgotten them. It's sad."
The games that ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )many parents once played were generally outdoor activities which were enjoyed by students during breaks or after school. They usually needed several partners and just a little space.
Jump rope gam ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )es, for example, have always been popular in many countries around the world. A kind of jump rope game, played with rubber bands(橡皮筋) which are connected together to make a long rope, is played in many countries.
Rubber band ju ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )mping was once very popular in primary schools. Girls loved playing this game. It can help kids practise their jumping skills and develop coordination(协调性), and also help them meet lots of friends.
It is common th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ese days to see primary school students spending their breaks in the classroom. They are busy with their studies.
"When we ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) were young, we played many different outdoor games, but today's children don't know what to play or how to play," a 40-year-old mother said. "They don't know what teamwork is."
Being worried ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) by the situation, educational officers have tried to make some programmes to educate children on traditional games.
( )11. How are traditional games today
A. Today ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )'s children don't like traditional games. B. Traditional games are missing one by one.
C. Traditional games aren't so easy as computer games.
D. Modern games are more useful than old games.
( )12. The mea ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ning of the underlined word "unfamiliar" here is "_______"
A. not known ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) B. not helpful C. unimportant D. not interesting
( )13. The tra ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ditional games like hide-and-seek and jump rope games_______.
A. can be ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) played only in schools B. can be played only outdoors
C. usually need a few partners D. need a very large space
( )14. Today ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )'s schoolchildren don't know how to play traditional games mainly because_____.
A. they are busy w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ith their studies B. they don't like them at all
C. their paren ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ts don't let them do that D. the games are difficult to learn
( )15. Which of the following is the writer's opinion
A. Traditional games should take the place of modern games.
B. Schoolchildren shouldn't be busy with their lessons.
C. Witho ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut playing traditional games, children don't know what teamwork is.
D. The whole ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) society should try to educate children on traditional games.
