Video games will be forced to carry cigarette-style health warnings under proposals to protect children from unsuitable digital material.
The report, commissioned by the Prime Minister in response to a growing moral panic about video games, will conclude that they can harm the development of children’s beliefs and value systems and desensitise them to violence. The report, written by Tanya Byron, the clinical psychologist and television parenting guru, is also expected to address the dangers of children’s use of the internet. She will call for a massive campaign to educate parents, teachers and childcarers about how to ensure that children get maximum benefit from the digital world without being exposed to its dangers.
This will include a drive for greater awareness of inappropriate content such as pornography. Parents will be encouraged to monitor children’s online use and keep computers in living rooms rather than bedrooms. Dr. Byron, a Times columnist who has two children aged 9 and 12, said that video and online games could have enormous benefits "in terms of learning and development", but that there was too little awareness among parents about the associated risks they posed and how to manage those risks. "You would not send your child to the pool without teaching them to swim, so why would you let them online without teaching them to manage the risks?" she said.
Dr. Byron said that the current classification system for video games was confusing and not tough enough. At present only games showing sex or gross violence require an age rating from the British Board of Film Classification and fewer than 2 per cent of titles carry an 18-certificate.
The alternative Pan-European Game Information system is considered to be ineffective because it uses symbols that are confusing and distributors effectively chose their own ratings by filling in a form about their product. Dr. Byron wants a single statutory classification system. Ratings would have to be displayed prominently on all packaging materials, like health warnings on cigarettes, as well as on shop display cases.
"We have to make child digital safety a priority. If you are under 18, you should not be able to buy an ’18’ game and if you are under 12, you should not be able to buy a ’12’ game," she said. She also wants all games’ consoles to contain blocking mechanisms that would enable parents to prevent children playing unsuitable games on them.
According to the passage, which of the following is not true about Dr. Byron?
选项
A、She’s the mother of two children.
B、She writes for a newspaper.
C、She was commissioned to release the report.
D、She is an expert in childcare.
答案
C
解析
属事实细节题。选项A和选项B可在第三段第三句中找到答案,她是泰晤士报的专栏作家(选项B),而且有两个孩子(选项A)。选项D可在第二段第二句中找到,她是电视育儿专家。文章提到这份报告确实是Byron医生所撰写,且第二段首句提到首相授权专人发布了这份报告,但是并未提及是Byron医生发布了这份报告,故选项C不合题意。
