Some people think that sports and games are unimportant things. In fact, sports and games can be of great value, especially to people working with their brain most of the day. Sports and games make our bodies strong and keep us healthy. But these are not their only uses. They give us valuable practice in making eyes, brain and muscles work together. For example, in tennis, our eyes see the ball coming, judge its speed and direction and pass this information on to the brain. The brain then has to decide what to do, and send its orders to the muscles of the arms, legs, and so on. So tennis helps train the co-ordination among eyes, brain, arms, and legs.

Sports and games are also useful for character training. In their lessons at school, boys and girls may learn about such virtues as unselfishness, courage discipline, and love of one’s country. In sports and games a pupil can really practise these virtues.

   In the early years of television, educational specialists believed that it would be very useful in teaching and learning. Many schools have brought television sets, intending to use them effectively to improve the quality of education; but actually they are rarely used properly in classrooms. Meanwhile, children spend the majority of their out-of-school hours watching TV and their typical school days proceed as if television did not exist.

Lastly, most teachers do not regard the quality of television and its usefulness in the classroom.

In Western countries, electricity, gas, and water are not luxuries but necessities. Companies now realize that consumers want products that will not only work effectively, but also save money.

            For most North American households, lighting accounts for 10 percent to 15 percent of the electricity bill. However, this amount can be reduced by replacing an ordinary 100-watt bulb with an energy-saving bulb. These bulbs use a quarter of the electricity of standard bulbs and last eight times longer. Therefore consumers can save about US $7 to US $21 per bulb.

            In Europe, there is a labeling scheme for refrigerators, freezers, washing machines and tumble dryers. The label tells the consumers how much energy efficiency each model has, compared with other appliances in the same category.

            Ultimately, these innovations will save money as well as conserve the Earth’s resources.

1. What kinds of products do consumers want?

     ……............................……………….............………………………………………………………………

2. What can we do to spend less on lighting?

     ………………......................................………………………………………………………………………

3. Does an energy-saving bulb use a quarter of the electricity of a standard bulb?

     ……………………………………....................................…………………………………………………

4. What is the purpose of the labeling scheme?
