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(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.

1.According to the passage, people can’t _______things in this game.

2.From Laura’s words, we can guess that she’s most probably_________

3.Which is NOT the reason why people like the game?

Habit is any action that we have performed so often that it becomes something that we do almost without thinking. Some of them are thought to be bad habits. People spend countless hours and dollars each year trying to get rid of these bad habits but often fail. Why? Change is hard work and there is no shortcut to achieve it. However, there is still some advice for you to follow.

First, look at why you do it. In other words, what’s the result of doing this thing? If your bad habit is shouting at people when you are unhappy or under pressure, what do you get from it? It may make you feel a little better for the moment. Or maybe you have a bad habit of leaving your homework undone. The result could be that you get more time to spend on the Internet!

Next, take a look on the other hand. What are you losing because of your habit? Shouting at other people is a bad habit because it makes people around you feel bad and unhappy. Leaving your homework undone is a bad habit because you may be punished by your teacher. Having more Internet time means that you are losing the chance to learn the things that you need to learn. When you think that way, you’ll find that it’s not wise to keep your bad habit! Now it is time to make a decision. What will you choose? I’m sure you will choose to do what you think is more important.

1.From the first paragraph we know that __________.

2.The underlined sentence “there is no shortcut to achieve it” means that __________.

3.According to the reading, if you want to get rid of your habits, you have to __________.

4.Which of the following does NOT happen because of a bad habit according to the reading?

5. The main purpose of this passage is to __________.
