Playing video games can be a fun way to spend time with friends. In some schools, teachers use games like Minecraft to encourage communication and team work.

But for some players, gaming is an unhealthy habit. They stay up late playing games. They do little or no homework. They give up other hobbies and pay little attention to their families and friends. The video-game world seems a better place than the real one.

Mental（精神）health experts have taken notice of such problems. The World Health Organization (WHO) listed "gaming disorder（失调症）" as a disease last year. A person may have the disorder if gaming has done harm to the relationship（关系）with his families and friends, and if it has influenced his daily activities.

Clifford Sussman is a doctor in the United States who treats gaming addiction（瘾）. He says those kids often get angry easily and it makes everything difficult for them to complete, like schoolwork and housework.

Sussman advises checking how long you play. He says you should take at least an hour-long break after every hour of play. The brain needs time to relax.

Do you have gaming addiction? If you are not sure about it, Sussman suggests you first answer a simple question: "Are you in control, or is the game in control?"

（1）Gaming is an unhealthy habit for some players because ______.

A.they are close to their families and friends

B.they have other hobbies

C.they don't go to bed on time

D.they have little or no homework to do

（2）The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 means ______.

A.the WHO B.gaming disorder
C.health D.gaming

（3）According to Sussman, kids with gaming addiction ______.

A.are in good feelings B.are not easy to complete things
C.have increased in number D.should leave school

（4）By answering Sussman's question, you may know ______.

A.why to fight gaming addiction

B.how to fight gaming addiction

C.what gaming addiction is

D.whether you have gaming addiction or not

（5）In which part of a newspaper can we read this passage?

A.Health. B.Culture. C.News. D.Sport.

请阅读一篇关于故宫博物院（the Palace Museum）与元宵节（the Lantern Festival）的短文，根据所提供的信息，回答问题。

A First in 94 Years!

What does the Palace Museum look like at night? Most people don't have a say in answer to this question, as it closes at around 4:30 p.m. in winter and 5:00 p.m. in summer. However, to celebrate the Lantern Festival of 2019, Beijing's Palace Museum opened its doors to the public after dark—for two nights only.

Back in the day, celebrating the Lantern Festival in the Palace Museum was a tradition just for the imperial (皇家) family. Such opening was a first in 94 years! You can't imagine how popular it was with visitors! On the night of February 19th, 2019, about 3000 lucky visitors spent the Lantern Festival in the Palace Museum. "We want to pass the tradition on and make people have more festival experiences," said Shan Jixiang, the head of the Palace Museum.

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th day of the 1st lunar (农历) month, usually in February or March. As early as the Western Han Dynasty, it had become a festival with great significance (意义). This day's important activity is watching lanterns. People usually eat yuanxiao, or rice dumplings on this day. So it is also called the "yuanxiao" festival.

（1）When does the Palace Museum close in winter? ______

（2）For how many nights could people visit Beijing's Palace Museum? ______

（3）Why was such opening so popular with visitors? ______

（4）What was Shan Jixiang? ______

（5）What's this important activity on the Lantern Festival?
