问题     When it comes to video games and apps, what’s a parent to do? On the one hand, we’re told about the harm of letting kids play with computer games and gadgets(小器具). On the other, we’re attracted by games and apps marketed to us as " educational".
    It’s a tricky line to follow. Kids’ apps range from "baking" cupcakes to crushing war demons(恶魔). Most of them have some educational aspect—at the very least kids learn what ingredients are used in cupcake baking, and the physics of launching Angry Birds at just the right angle to kill the piggies. That’s learning, isn’t it?
    There lie the vague boundaries. Not all games are educational, and not all are shallow forms of entertainment. In fact, most have some elements of both. The trick is to figure out what we want kids to learn and to experience. To collect them all into one category is to miss out on a huge treasure trove(宝库)of learning opportunities. Real learning apps have a set of criteria that qualifies them as educational, so rather than writing them all off as a waste of time, parents can figure out what their kids are exposed to.
    "We don’t ever want to separate engagement from the purposes of learning," said Daniel Edelson, Executive Director and Vice President of Education and Children’s Programs at the National Geographic Society at a cyber-learning conference last week. "When you’re engaged with activities that have learning goals, you can connect the dots between engagement and learning. If you use engagement in its broadest possible sense when people are paying attention because of bright lights and activity, then you don’t find that connection. "
    So should parents feel guilty allowing their kids to play games on mobile devices?
    " No," says Dr. Michael Levine of the Joan Ganz Cooney Center, which recently released a study called Learning: Is There an App For That. " Kids see their parents using mobile phones all the time. It’s only natural for them to want to use them too. And from the data in our study it looks like many parents are letting their children use them responsibly—with restrictions and in moderation. " [br] When choosing games and apps, parents should______.
选项 A、explore learning opportunities for children from different categories
B、set up criteria on their own for evaluating the value of learning apps
C、spend time figuring out what their children want to be exposed to
D、make certain what they want children to learn and to experience
答案 D
解析 事实细节题。本题考查在选择游戏和应用程序时，父母应该怎么做。由定位句可知，在选择游戏和应用程序时，难处在于要找出我们需要孩子去学习什么、经历什么，而这恰恰也是父母们应该做的，故答案为D)。A)“从不同的游戏类别中为孩子挖掘学习的机会”和B)“自行建立标准去评判学习型应用程序的价值”，原文均未提及，故排除；C)“花时间弄清楚孩子们想要接触什么”是对第三段末句的误解。第三段末句的意思是，父母应该弄清楚通过这些游戏孩子们到底接触了什么，而不是孩子想要接触什么，故排除。
