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 so 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(壓力)；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(專注于)their study.

How do I like to travel?

　　Many people like to travel by plane, but I don’t like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for hours for the plane to take off and it is often late. you can’t open the window. You can’t choose（選擇；挑選） the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to get out of the airport and into the city.

　　I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train you can catch（趕上） another one .you can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.

　　I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don’t need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry(攜帶；拿) many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.

In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn’t much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
 ①   But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of (厭倦) the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there. ②   
So they move out of the cities. Some don’t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities. Other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.
 ③     After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don’t make so much money and there isn’t much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren’t always very friendly.④   
So quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. “It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights.” they say.
