C
During the years of game making, there have been a number of games. Many old games have disappeared since modern games come out.
Teachers at a primary school asked their students to write articles about games they knew and were shocked by the results. Half of the 50 children in one of the classes wrote about online games.
It is easy to see that traditional games like hide-and-seek and jump rope games are unfamiliar to many of today’s school children, who like to play computer games----especially in the cities, with the rising popularity of TV, the Internet, video and online games.
An educationist said, “Traditional games used to be so popular, but over just a few years, students have forgotten them. It‟s sad.”
The games that many parents once played were generally outdoor activities, enjoyed during breaks or after school. They usually needed several partners and just a little space.
Jump rope games, for example, have always been popular in countries around the world. A kind of jump rope game played with rubber bands connected together to make a long rope is played in many countries.
Rubber band jumping was once very popular in primary schools. Girls loved playing this game. This game can help kids practice their jumping skills, develop coordination(协调), and also meet lots of friends.

It is common these days to see primary school students spending their breaks in the classroom. They are busy with their studies.
“When we were young, we played many different outdoor games, but today’s children don’t know what to play or how to play,” a 40-year-old mother said. “If these kids want something, they can get it, but they don’t know what teamwork is.”
Alarmed by the situation, educational officers have tried to make some programs to educate children about traditional games.
66. What made teachers greatly surprised is that .
A. their students hardly spend their breaks in the classroom
B. many students now know more about online games
C. educationalists are worried about traditional games
D. the students only play hide-and-seek game at home
67. It’s clear that .
A. students today like games out of classrooms B. traditional games are forgotten by students
C. parents pay no attention to outdoor games D. teachers have no idea about the students’ interests
68. Which traditional game is still played in many countries?
A. Hide-and-seek game B. Rubber band jumping
C. Jump rope game. D. Kicking shuttlecock
69. It‟s inspiring that .
A. the government has tried to bring traditional games back
B. more and more students have given up modern games
C. the parents help play traditional games with the kids
