    Directions For Questions

    Read the passage and answer the following questions.

    Once there was a gentle river that flowed through the heart of a bustling town. Its waters were home to many creatures, and its banks were lined with lush trees and colorful flowers. A young girl, fond of the river's tranquility, would often come to its edge to paint, letting her brush dance to the rhythm of the flowing water. As time went by, she formed a bond with the river, whispering her dreams and fears to its listening waves.

    One stormy evening, the girl rushed to the river's edge, her heart heavy with sorrow. "What troubles you, dear child?" the river inquired, noticing her tears. "I need to reach the other side to visit my ailing grandmother, but the bridge has been washed away," she replied. "Ride upon my back, and I shall carry you safely to the other side," offered the river. The girl did just that and reached her grandmother in time to provide the needed care.

    Years passed, and the girl, now a talented artist, desired to showcase her art to the world. "What troubles you, dear friend?" asked the river, seeing her contemplative gaze. "I wish to display my art in the town square, but I lack the means to create a gallery," she said. "Use my clay and stones to mold your frames and stand," proposed the river. With the river's gifts, she crafted beautiful displays that captivated the town.

    As time marched on, the girl, now a renowned artist, faced a new challenge. The river, once vibrant and full of life, had become polluted and neglected. She stood by the river, tears mingling with the tainted waters, wondering aloud, "How can I help you regain your beauty?" "Remind our friends in the town of our bond, host an exhibition of your art by my banks, and inspire them to care for me as I have cared for you," suggested the river. Moved by the idea, she organized an event that rekindled the community's love for the river, leading to its restoration and preservation.

    The river, revitalized, continued to flow joyfully, a testament to the enduring friendship between the girl and the generous spirit

    Why did the river become polluted and neglected?

    Solution

    Key Points

    The first computer games were played in the arcades, amusement centers having time-consuming, coin-operated games. Young males traditionally visited these, and hence, were the first audience for games. When the first game console appeared in homes, everybody could play them. But due to the nature of the games, which were largely copied from the consoles, the prime audience remained young males. This continued when new generations of consoles appeared. When PC gaming started, computers were still primarily used by men. It was also difficult to install and play these games, which required knowledge of the operating system of the computers. Only a few women had this knowledge or an interest in it. However, the age range became a bit larger because computers were primarily owned by a bit older men. This changed when the Internet started to become popular. The so-called Casual Games that could be played on the Internet, directly in a web browser, did not require any installation and were very easy to play. Games often last only a few minutes, making it possible for women to play them at irregular intervals and briefly in between other tasks. This attracted a completely different audience, middle-aged women. Suddenly, the computer became the tool of everybody: young and old and male and female. The introduction of Social Gaming, through sites like Facebook, made it crucial that you have and maintain a large social network to help you in progressing in the game. Today, more than 70% of both men and women play games and they spend an average of over five hours a week on it, with women playing more than men. But the gaming industry continues to be dominated by men and still has trouble in creating enough interesting content for women.
