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.
