Of course, this is not the end of the story. Indulging in Internet games also affects children’s studying, and their communication with others. All these facts indicate that it is time for us to manage Internet games as a whole society.

上述柱状图揭示了2010年第一季度至2011年第二季度中国网页游戏的市场规模。在这一年半之中，市场规模有了急剧的增长，从5.2亿元急剧上升到8.2亿元，增长了3亿元，同比增长率超出50%。

当大家都盛赞电脑的娱乐功能时，这个问题确实值得我们认真关注。首先，网络游戏最严重的危害来自于其内容，它们会影响孩子们的心理健康。大多数游戏涉及暴力，例如打斗和杀人。为了获胜或杀死对手，孩子们允许使用枪、刀、炸弹等各种手段。当他们享受胜利的快乐之时，心中萌生了暴力思想且该思想变得根深蒂固，这可能会引发他们在未来现实生活中的暴力行为。此外，沉迷于网络游戏也会损害孩子们的生理健康。电脑辐射能够引起很多不适反应，例如头疼、视力不佳甚至脱发。这样的孩子更容易废寝忘食，脾气暴躁易怒并饱受严重的营养不良的折磨。

当然，事情不止如此。沉迷于网络游戏也会影响孩子们的学习以及与他人的沟通。所有这些事实都表明我们整个社会应该对网络游戏加强管理。

2000-2016某市图书馆数量及常去图书馆人数

经典范文092

There have been significant changes in the number of libraries, as well as the number of frequent library-goers, in a certain city between 2000 and 2016. As the line graph shows, the amount of libraries increased steadily from 200 to 330 during this period, while people habitually going to libraries rose sharply from 350,000 to 700,000, a jump of 350,000 during the 16 years.

The primary causes for this growth can be summarized as follows. For one thing, it can be said that the quality of the libraries in a country is second only in significance to the quality of teachers. Libraries are where pupils, university students and citizens spend many hours in doing homework and research for their book reports and term papers. For another, not only do libraries contain historical references and information on various subjects, they have also all the latest reference materials and information available as well. Meanwhile, the Internet has become such a rich resource of information that all libraries have plenty of computers available for readers’ use.

As a consequence, I hold the opinion that a thirst for knowledge cannot be quenched without a fully equipped library that contains several sets of reference books, treatises and periodicals. At the same time, it is crucial for every city to have large, comfortable, fully equipped and user-friendly libraries.

2000年至2016年间，某市图书馆的数量以及常去图书馆的人数均出现了显著的变化。如曲线图所示，同期图书馆的数量从200所稳步增长到330所，而在这16年当中，常去图书馆的人数从35万人急剧增加到70万人，增长了35万人。

主要原因可以概括如下。首先，一个国家中图书馆质量的重要性可以说仅次于教师的素质。小学生、大学生和市民们会花很多时间在这里写作业、查有关读书报告和期末论文的资料。其次，图书馆里不仅有关于各门学科的历史资料和信息，还有可以获得的全部最新的参考资料和信息。同时，如今互联网能为人们提供非常丰富的信息，因而各图书馆均配备很多台计算机，供读者使用。

因此，我认为只有修建了收藏多套参考书、大量专著和期刊的设备齐全的图书馆，才能满足人们对知识的渴求。同时，修建宽敞舒适、藏书齐全且使用方便的图书馆，对于每一座城市而言都至关重要。
