An aerosol (气雾剂) product, then，is just a can that has an aerosol mixture inside. With most aerosol cans, the product inside—that is，the cream，or the paint, or whatever—is mixed with a gas. Most of the time the gas that is used is a fluorohydrocarbon (碳氢氟化合物). Almost any gas could be used，,and the aerosol would still work. But fluorohydrocarbons are used because they are inert—or inactive. We feel being inactive is safer. That means they don’t have any effect on the product inside the can. To take an example, if we mix whipping cream or cheese together with a simple gas—such as oxygen--then the oxygen will immediately start to act on the product, and little by little the oxygen will ruin the product. Cheese mixed with oxygen becomes bad within a few days. That would be dangerous if it is eaten. But, by mixing the product with a fluorohydrocarbon，the product will not change and can be stored for a long time.

People disagree sharply about video games. Parents, doctors, and some media-effect researchers say the games are destructive. They accuse video games of distracting students from schoolwork, of being too violent, and of plunging the participant into an unreal world without actual person-to-person contacts. For example,Patricia Greenfield,a professor of psychology at the University of California, notes that when she asked a boy why he liked video games better than television，he answered，“On TV,if you want to make someone die,you can’t.” Defenders of the games counter that the games do have positive aspects. They note that the games help improve eye-hand-brain coordination, develop reasoning abilities, and improve perception of space. In addition, say the games' defenders, video games pave the way for players to develop positive attitudes toward computers and computer literacy skills.
