[Q]: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: My son loves video games very much. He spends hours every day playing video games in his room. Is there anyredeeming educational value to video games? Some seem like they could help him learn strategy. But I worry others may be too violent ornumb his mind. Cecilia Some games may improve kids' hand-eye coordination and problem-solving skills. Games that require kids to actually move ormanipulate the game through their own physical movement can even get _ kids moving, though not as much as they could if they actually played outside or participated in sports or other outdoor acuities. Others, though, don't have such benefits, and violent video games have been shown that they might increase kid's aggressive behavior. Like a lot of aspects of raising kids, when it comes to video games, the healthiest approach is actually self-control. The American academy of Pediatrics(AAP) recommends that kids should spend no more than 2 hours each day on screen time, including watching TV or movies, or playing computer or video games. So consider setting limits at least that strict to keep game playing from affecting their schoolwork, household responsibilities, and the physical activity your son needs very day. Make sure that he's playing games which are suitable for his age group. All video games are rated and labeled by the Entertainment Software Rating Board. Steer clear of any rated "M" for mature. Those are for ages 17 and older and can contain heavy-duty violence, strong language, and sexual content. Try to keep the video gameconsole in a common area of the house, not your son's room. That way you can catch any inappropriate content in the games he's playing, and he'll be in a position to interact with others in the house while he's playing. Make sure your son has appealing alternatives, too, such as sports, activities, opportunities to socialize with peers; and downtime to be creative. If you continue to have concerns about his video game activity, talk with your doctor. Reviewed by:Mary L. Gavin, MD

[Q]: Write a multi-choice question for the following article: Article: People who drink alcohol earn more at their jobs than non-drinkers, according to a US study that highlighted "social capital   " gained from drinking. The study concluded that drinkers earn 10-14 percent more than _ and that men who drink socially bring home an additional seven percent in pay. "Social drinking builds social capital," said Edward String ham, an economics 'professor, "Social drinkers are outgoing, building relationships, and keeping in contacts, which results in bigger paychecks." The researchers said the most likely explanation is that drinkers have a wider range of social contacts that help provide better job and business opportunities. "Drinkers may be able to socialize more with clients and co-workers, giving drinkers ;an advantage in important relationships.Drinking may also provide individuals with opportunities to learn people, business, and social skills." They also said these conclusions provide arguments against policies aimed at controlling alcohol use in university and public places. "Not only do anti-alcohol policies reduce drinkers' fun, but they may also decrease earnings," the study said, "One of the consequences of alcohol restrictions is that they push drinking into private behavior.By preventing people from drinking in public, anti-alcohol policies ignores one of the most important aspects of drinking: increased social capital." The researchers found some differences in the economic effects of drinking among men and women.They concluded that men who drink earn 10 percent more than non-drinkers and women drinkers earn 14 percent more than non-drinkers. However, unlike men, who get a 7 percent income increase from drinking in bars, women drinkers who visit bars frequently do not show higher earnings than those who do not visit bars.
