It's the holiday season and that means kids by the millions are asking Santa for the opportunity to blow away enemy soldiers andaliens on the Xbox or PlayStation. Would parents be worried about 1buying such gifts? Violent video games are now an established part of our culture; recent releases of games such as Call of Duty:Modern Warfare and Skyrim have setting sales records for media 2releases(topping even blockbuster movies)and garnishing lavish reviews for their artistic merits. Ten years ago, scholars andp
职业能力倾向测验oliticians raised the possibility such games might contribute to 3school shootings or other youth violence. Our modern fears over Violent video games appear to be inline with prior moral panics over media as diversely as jazz music, 4comic books and Harry Potter. Granted, too much passiveactivity, including video games, can contribute to obesity. Unlike 5anything else, gaming should be enjoyed in moderation, balancedwith outdoor activity, allowed enough time for family and 6schoolwork. A very small number of kids exhibit signs ofpathological gaming. And regarding concerns about aggression, it 7appears to be that, fairly early on, children learn to distinguish between fantasy and reality, and their brains don't treat thesephenomena the same. Santa Claus is a primary example. Despite 8that not only their parents but all of society conspiring to lie to 9children about the reality of this fellow, children can reason out theimprobability of its existence by the mid-elementary years. With 10those kinds of reasoning powers, kids can handle a video game that doesn't even claim to be real.

For most of American history, businesses were run to provide livelihoods and "reasonable" profit. In the last few decades,though, business and society in the general have moved toward 1emphasizing profit maximization and individual self-interest. Thetransfer from "reasonable profit" to profit maximization has 2significant implications for corporate behavior and governmentregulation. However, how society views the purpose of the 3corporation has significant implications not only for business, butalso for the perceived responsibilities of its civilians, their 4interactions with each other, and their obligation to their fellow countrymen. Today, it is uncommon for corporations to direct their 5attention to serving for shareholder and management interests, and 6to achieving the highest short-term financial return. Not only has this view become commonplace in society and the economy, it has permeated educational institutions and affected how young people see the role of corporations. Lost in this orientation, though, is a sense of the corporationas a creature of the state, created and gave special powers and 7privileges by the state. The historic balance between "we" versus"me" has shifted dramatic toward a focus on self-interest at the 8expense of societal interest. The result ha
s been a decline in broad social and economic values in favor of viewing the corporationsolely a vehicle for personal financial enrichment. That view 9represents a significant shift from the historical—which the grant 10of corporate privilege was to advance public purposes such as building roads, bridges, and canals.

解析：解析：语法错误。此处是定语从句．引导词在从句中作状语，替代in a historical view，故应该用关系副词where引导。此句的意思是“授予企业特权是为了发展公众利益，如修路、建桥和开通运河等。”
For years, nonprofit hospitals have shied away from quantifying the amount of charitable care they provide communities. Hospital officials argue that it's almost impossible toput a dollar value on charity and doing so would take valuable 1time and resources away from actually serving the need. 2 The charity question is significant because nonprofit hospitals get major tax breaks. Also, because of loopholes in state laws, nonprofit hospitals are often permitted to make huge profits. Tocomplicate things further, the 2005 Government Accountability 3Office study concluded that, when it comes to charity care, t
he "differences between nonprofit and for-profit groups were oftenbig." To make up for this, nonprofit hospitals tend to arrange deals 4with city and state governments to provide "payment in lieu oftaxes"(also known as PILOT programs). But for these payments 5often don't equate the hospitals' overall tax benefit and are 6perceived as acts of good faith to show that hospitals are playing nice with their communities. Recent economic downturns, therefore, have shined a 7detective's spotlight on the amount of charity care hospitals provide. Investigative reports have shown up in Atlanta, East Bayand Boston newspapers question charity care policies. The Boston 8Globe report calculated that Boston's "10 leading hospital companies benefited from an estimated $638 million in federal,state, and local tax breaks as well state discounts on borrowing in 92007, which accounts to $264 million more than the value of 10care for the poor and other charity work."
