Others say that they make children unsociable and are bad for their eyes. Some have even attributed falling standards of literacy and a lack of interest in re

34、ading on them. Now, however, it seems that computer games have also become a feminist issue.Game manufacturers have, for some time, been looking to increase the number of female game players.The vast majority of computer games still sell to a mainly male market. Perhaps this is because the violent n

35、ature of many of the games appeals more to males or perhaps because many of the main characters in the games are male. Manufacturers attempts to produce more female characters increase their share of the female gaming market which has met with serious criticism from many womens groups. While heroine

36、s such as Lara Croft of the Tomb Raider game are seen as providing positive role models of strong women, many believe that the characters unrealistic Barbies are subconsciously setting unattainable standards in the minds of young women. Perhaps a stronger criticism is that although many games now in

37、clude female characters, their role is often secondary and they support the main, male, action characters within the games. Of course the nature of many of the games remains violent and destructive and this in itself could well continue to put off female gamers.There are now, however, a number of we

38、bsites springing up on the World Wide Web to help women deal with this issue. Sites such as Game Girlz, Women Gamers and Game Gal offer game reviews, articles, discussion forums and even employment opportunities for women interested in becoming part of the rapidly expanding games industry. The games

39、 are reviewed by women from a very female perspective. Some rate the games from one to ten across a range of criteria which include the appearance of the female characters, the degree of intelligence attributed to them in the game and even the marketing attitude adopted by the company. The sites are

40、 obviously looking for games that move away from the very male dominated and violent nature of the majority of computer games. Many of them review games that are more constructive and developmental. Although the common fantasy themes of knights, witches and goblins(妖精) still exist within these games

41、, the aims are often very different. Instead of destroying opposing armies，the aim of the game can be to make peace with them. With this increased degree of awareness and involvement from women in the games industry many positive changes could be made that could encourage more women and young girls

42、to become enthusiastic about technology. Perhaps we may even find more male gamers moving away from the traditional violent and destructive games towards the more positive values promoted by these more feminine role models, after all Tomb Raider is still one of the most popular computer games on the

43、 market, but perhaps thats too much to ask.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了当今电脑游戏行业已经悄然发生一些变化。目前女性在游戏行业的许多积极的变化可能鼓励更多的妇女和年轻女孩热衷于电脑游戏方面的技术。13What is Paragraph 1 mainly about ?AThe violence in computer games.BCommon criticisms of computer games.CChildrens feeling in computer games.DThe computer issues.【解析】段意概括题。第一段作者主要讲
