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.
