Question

Having Fun “Growing” and “Stealing”?

Recently, an Internet game has become a new fashion among young office workers and students. People can “farm” on a piece of “land” and “grow”, “sell” or even “steal” “vegetables”,”flowers”, and “fruits” on the Net. They can earn some e-money and buy more “seeds” , “pets”, and even “houses”.

Joyce interviewed some young people. Here are their opinions.

Harold: I don’t quite understand why they are mad about the childish game. Maybe they are just not confident enough to face the real world.

Allan: I enjoy putting some “bugs” in my friends’ gardens and we’ve become closer because of the game. Having fun together is the most exciting thing about it.

Laura: You know, people in the city are longing for (渴望) the life in the countryside. It reduces my work pressure (压力) ; besides, it gives me the exciting experience of being a “thief ”.

Ivy: Well, it’s just a waste of time. Teenagers playing the game spend so many hours on it that they can not focus on (专注于) their study.
