Ⅴ.阅读理解
In action video games，you have to act fast to avoid monsters，fight the bad guys and remove zombies(僵尸)—which come at you from every side.You have to pass all the levels，collect all the right things，watch every corner of every room and listen carefully.You never know where trouble is developing，but you know it's out there somewhere.
According to a recent study，there's something else going on in the brains of action game players：They're getting better at using sights and sounds，to make quick decisions.And not just decisions that have to do with the imaginary world of the video game，says Daphne Bavelier.
Video game players improve their ability to make fast decisions “not just for the act of gaming，but for unrelated and rather dull tasks，” Bavelier said.
Her research suggests the benefit isn't limited to men，who play action games more often.When women play the games，they also improve their ability to understand things they see and hear and then quickly make decisions.
To examine the connection between action games and decision making，Bavelier and her team first studied two groups of men，average age 19 to 20.The men in one group reported playing video games five times a week，and the men in the other group did not play.The gamers did as well as the nongamers on that test，but were faster.
Bavelier and her team also studied men and women，average age 26，who said they had not played video games in the past year.This experiment helped show whether gamers are naturally fast decision makers，or whether the action games can improve this ability for anyone.As in the first experiment，the men and women who played action games were faster on the dot and sound tests.
Alan Castel said that the study was “thorough and interesting”．What might be more interesting to some gamers is this idea：The men and women in Bavelier's study were paid to play video games—in the name of science.
