They seem to work best when they allow some wind to pass through the barrier of trees or plants around a field. If not, then the movement of air close to

34、 of issues. Some people say they are overly violent and encourage violent behaviour particularly in children. Others say that they make children unsociable and are bad for their eyes. Some have even attributed falling standards of literacy and a lack of interest in reading on them. Now, however, it
35、seems that computer games have also become a feminist(女权主义者) issue. Game manufacturers have, for some time, been looking to increase the number of female game players. The vast majority of computer games still sell to a mainly male market. Perhaps this is because the violent nature of many of the ga
36、mes appeals more to males or perhaps because many of the main characters in the games are male. Manufacturers attempts to produce more female characters increase their share of the female gaming market which has met with serious criticism from many womens groups. While heroines(女英雄) such as Lara Cro
37、ft of the Tomb Raider game are seen as providing positive role models of strong women, many believe that the characters unrealistic Barbies are subconsciously setting unattainable standards in the minds of young women. Perhaps a stronger criticism is that although many games now include female chara
38、cters, their role is often secondary and they support the main, male, action characters within the games. Of course the nature of many of the games remains violent and destructive and this in itself could well continue to put off female gamers. There are now, however, a number of web sites springing
39、 up on the World Wide Web to help women deal with this issue. Sites such as Game Girlz, Women Gamers and Game Gal offer game reviews, articles, discussion forums and even employment opportunities for women interested in becoming part of the rapidly expanding games industry. The games are reviewed by
40、 women from a very female perspective. Some rate the games from one to ten across a range of criteria which include the appearance of the female characters, the degree of intelligence attributed to them in the game and even the marketing attitude adopted by the company. The sites are obviously looki
41、ng for games that move away from the very male dominated and violent nature of the majority of computer games. Many of them review games that are more constructive and developmental. Although the common fantasy themes of knights(骑士), witches and goblins（妖精） still exist within these games, the aims a
42、re often very different. Instead of destroying opposing armies，the aim of the game can be to make peace with them. With this increased degree of awareness and involvement from women in the games industry many positive changes could be made that could encourage more women and young girls to become en
43、thusiastic about technology. Perhaps we may even find more male gamers moving away from the traditional violent and destructive games towards the more positive values promoted by these more feminine role models, after all Tomb Raider is still one of the most popular computer games on the market, but
44、 perhaps thats too much to ask.41. What is paragraph 1 mainly about ? A. The violence in computer games. B. Common criticisms of computer games. C. Childrens feeling in computer games. D. The computer issues.42. Manufacturers want to produce more female characters in order to _. A. increase sales in
