Have you ever skipped sleeping over a video game? Computer game designers often
create interesting video games to tempt players to keep playing. These days, many employees
are found to play video games at work even though their employers have set rules to stop them
from doing so. In fact, video game addiction is regarded as harmful, just like addiction to
drugs, alcohol, or gambling, and should be treated with care.

sympathetic to their addiction. If they have been caught several times playing video games

A new food bank was just opened recently in Taichung. People in financial difficulties can
go there to pick up relief products, and like going to a supermarket, they can get what they
need, free of charge and with dignity. In all food banks, items are donated by businesses, with a
small number of products, such as diapers and vitamins, purchased with subsidies from the city
government. One important goal of the food banks is to reduce the waste of resources while
giving away food and other daily necessities to those in need. Most food banks often hand out
food packs without giving recipients a choice of the items. In that way, products still go to waste
if the recipients are unable to use them. Moreover, the food packs do not contain milk powder or
diapers to meet the needs of infants. However, at the new supermarket-like food bank, recipients
can choose what they want and what they need from a wide range of products, which include
diapers, infant formula milk powder, and children’s shoes. In addition, the new food bank holds activities similar to those in other food banks.
For instance, volunteers plan special holiday surprises for recipients and give away festive foods
such as mooncakes. The main beneficiaries of food banks are the people who need a helping
hand to avoid extreme poverty. Regardless of how they work, all food banks share the same
goal: to lift disadvantaged families out of poverty.
