“Tom? Are you in bed yet?” called Mrs White. There was no answer. Mrs White put down her book and went to her 14-year-old son’s room. Tom was sitting in front of a bright computer screen on which a motorbike was running fast.

“Oh, Tom. You’re still playing on that computer. You must stop now. It’s half past eleven. If you don’t go to bed soon, you’ll be very tired tomorrow,” said Mrs White.

“But I’ve nearly won the game,” said Tom to Mrs White. She could see the excitement on his face. She sat down beside him.

“You’re always playing on the computer. You spend more time on this machine than on your homework.”

Today more and more families have computers. Parents hope computers can help their children improve their study at school. But, many of their children use computers to play games, to watch videos, instead of studying. We often see that computer game houses are crowded with people, especially young boys. They spend a lot of money competing with the computerized machines. The more they lose, the more they want to win. The result is that they don’t want to work or study.

In some other countries, even scientists hate computers. They say computers cause millions of people to lose their jobs or cause them a lot of trouble. Computer game addiction(隱) is a serious problem in social life. Something has to be done to solve the problem.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,完成下列句子,每空一詞。

86. Tom was ___________ on the computer on that late night.

87. Mrs White felt ___________ when she saw her son playing late.

88. Parents think computers can _________ their children with their study.

"Tom? Are you in bed yet?" called Mrs White. There was no answer. Mrs White put down her book and went to her 14-year-old son's room. Tom was sitting in front of a bright computer screen on which a colourful dragon jumped and shouted.
