   Shawn Green, a psychologist at the University of Minnesota, points out that the study doesn’t distinguish between the type of【C7】______required to excel at a video game and that required to excel in school.
   "A child who is capable of playing a video game for hours【C8】______obviously does not have a【C9】______problem with paying attention," says Green.【C10】______are they able to pay attention to a game but not in school?

Modern TV shows are so exciting and fast paced that they make reading and schoolwork seem【C12】______by comparison, and the same may be true【C13】______video games, the study notes.
   "We weren’t able to break the games down by educational versus non-educational【C14】______nonviolent versus violent," says Swing,【C15】______that the impact that different types of games may have on attention is a ripe area for future research.
【C2】

选项 A、provoked
B、speculated
C、formulated
