8.At Institute for the Future,game designer Jane McGonigal creates massive(大規(guī)模的)multi-player free online role-playing games(MMORPGs),which focus on social changes and environmental problems.She hopes that players will use their new skills to make the real world better.
According to Jane,our addiction to gaming is actually a great thing,so long as we use it properly.Speaking at the TED(Technology/Entertainment/Design)2010Conference,Jane says that people should devote more time to games to build the skills necessary to make the world better.People who take part in MMORPGs develop specialized skills in problem-solving as a team.So,if gamers are willing to take part in role-playing games based on real-world problems,they will be able to work together to find ways that can be used in the real world.
Jane focuses on creating the kinds of video games that enable players to make a difference in their own lives and the lives of those around them.In 2007,she helped create a video game called A World Without Oil,in which 1,800players tried to find new ways to transport themselves in a world without oil.Even after completing the game,the players focused on the problem and its possible solutions.Her next game,Evoke,takes an even more practical way.Game players are mainly young people in Africa.They will learn to create a business that will help stop problems such as poverty and AIDS on a local level.By the end of the game,players will be guided by experts on how to start their own businesses.
"We can make any future we imagine and we can play any games we want,"she said at the TED Conference."So let the world-changing games begin."

51.B.細(xì)節(jié)題.根據(jù)第三段中Her next game,Evoke,takes an even more practical way.可知她的下一個(gè)游戲采用了更實(shí)用的方法.從They will learn to create a business that will help stop problems such as poverty and AIDS on a local level可知在游戲里,玩家學(xué)會(huì)創(chuàng)辦一種生意,這種生意能有助于解決貧困和艾滋病問題;從By the end of the game,players will be guided by experts on how to start their own businesses.可知在游戲的末尾,玩家被專家指導(dǎo)怎樣開始他們自己的生意,所以答案是B.Gamers can learn how to run a business in Evoke.

16.We arrived on Christmas morning,at Bridgetown Harbor in Barbados.Our crew on the Olympia Voyager has warned and rewarned us of the dangers of exploring the 166-square mile island-country on our own.But my wife,Kate,said all she wanted to do was go for a quick swim and do a bit of walking near the harbor.Despite my misgivingswe were one of the first couples off the gangplank(跳板).
"Let's grab a local taxi and take it to a beach,"said Kate."What if we miss returning to the Olympia Voyager before she sails?"I asked.
"You worry too much."
A twenty-year rusty car stopped,and a smiling man who claimed to be a taxi driver reported he was ready to take us swimming.
"How much?"I asked.
"Five dollars,"he said.
His name was Vincent Clarke,who did not appear to have any guns or knives.
"Sounds fine,"said Kate.She started to get in the taxi.
"Just hold on,"I said."I want to ask Vincent a question or two."
"Ask me anything,"he said."I have no secrets."
"We have been told that you may take us into the hills and rob us and kill us."
"No,I will not harm you.It is a serious crime to kill a tourist.I will cost you five dollars and I promise you that I will get you back to the Olympia in plenty of time."
"Let's go,"said Kate.She got in.
We drove for about three minutes and parked at a beach,and while Kate swam,Vincent and I talked as Christmas music played on his taxi radio.Some time later,Kate retimed to the taxi.Then Vincent drove us to the power plant,and a university,and then we sped through a poverty-stricken area.When we arrived,Vincent charged us twenty dollars.Five dollars a person each way.The tour,he said,was free.
Free indeed!
