【答案解析】[听力原文]18-21
In some countries video games are fast becoming a social problem. They are prohibited in the Philippines and Indonesia. In Japan, those who are under 15 years old are forbidden to use the public machines at night. City elders across the United States are campaigning to restrict their numbers, while the Hong Kong government is proposing to license their operation. These video games are causing children to waste their money on them. Even adults are tempted to spend working hours playing them.
In Singapore, the battle of man against the machines takes place in licensed amusement centers, mostly located in shopping centers. According to one estimate, each establishment can make between $ 250 and $ 1,500 a day. The schoolchildren in uniforms are not allowed into these centers. However, one cannot help noticing that the majority of those who are often found in these places are youngsters. Many of them are schoolchildren who have changed out of their uniforms. Some play for the fun of it; others have turned them into a form of gambling, and some are hopelessly addicted to them.
Now kids and adults alike play these games in the privacy of their homes. Video game sets have invaded most homes. The question that must be asked is: Have they any educational value?

A、 Because schoolchildren waste time and money on them.
B、 Because too many adults spend working hours playing them.
