雅思作文范文：電腦游戲有助老年人保持智力
Many over-60s may never have played a video game, nor have any inclination to do so. New research, however, suggests that playing strategic video games those that emphasise resource management and planning, for example may help the elderly to maintain mental abilities including memory, reasoning and the capacity for multi-tasking。
Arthur Kramer of the University of Illinois said it was the first study to find improvement in cognitive skills that were not directly related to the skills learned in the game. The research is published in the journal Psychology and Aging。
The game used in the study was Rise of Nations， in which gamers score points for building cities, feeding and employing their people, and maintaining and expanding their territory. Participants in the study who were trained to play the game showed significant cognitive benefits compared with those who were not: they were able to switch between tasks better and faster, and their working memory significantly improved。
This is one mode in which older people can stay mentally fit, cognitively fit, Prof Kramer said, adding that socialising, exercising and eating well were also important to mental health in later years。
許多60歲以上的老人可能從未玩過(guò)電腦游戲，也沒(méi)有打算這樣做。不過(guò)，一項(xiàng)新的研究表明，玩戰(zhàn)略性電腦游戲例如那些強(qiáng)調(diào)資源管理和規(guī)劃的游戲可能有助于老年人保持智力，包括記憶、推理和多任務(wù)處理能力等。
伊利諾伊大學(xué)的亞瑟克雷默表示，這項(xiàng)研究首次發(fā)現(xiàn)，與游戲中所學(xué)技能沒(méi)有直接關(guān)系的認(rèn)知技能得到改善。該研究發(fā)表在《心理學(xué)與衰老》雜志上。
研究中使用的游戲是國(guó)家的崛起。在游戲中，通過(guò)修建城市、供養(yǎng)和雇傭自己的人民以及保護(hù)和擴(kuò)張自己的領(lǐng)土，玩家都可以得分。在研究參與者中，接受打游戲培訓(xùn)的人比沒(méi)有接受的人顯示出了明顯的認(rèn)知益處：他們能夠更好更快地進(jìn)行任務(wù)轉(zhuǎn)換，而且工作記憶有了顯著提高。
克雷默表示：這是一種老年人保持精神健康、認(rèn)知健康的模式。他補(bǔ)充道，社交、鍛煉和吃得好對(duì)晚年的精神健康也很重要。
當(dāng)然我們并不主張考生死記雅思作文范文，考試時(shí)如果遇到類似題目照搬上去，這并不能考察考生的寫作能力。大家多背一些范文，可以積累一些素材，像好的短語(yǔ)、詞、句等，靈活運(yùn)用，才是正確的備考之道。
