9.Here's a scene:a village where the sun always shines,crops always grow and your friends drop by to sweep your yard to the sound of guitar music.Animals do what they are told,there is no disease,and lendin'folks a helpin'hand makes you richer and wiser.Welcome to FarmVille-
Current population 69m and rising fast.
"It reminds me of my childhood,"says one player,Lia Curran,37,a nurse from London."Right now I'm growing wheat and flowers.I've got a small garden,and I'm raising some chickens and some cows.I like having the animals.It's relaxing."Curran's animals,however,is nothing more than a collection of cartoons.FarmVille is an online computer game built into the social networking site Facebook and is described by its players as"addictive".Launched last June by Zynga Game Network,FarmVille now has many players-more than the population of the UK.The players are largely women over the age of 35.
FarmVille unites the worlds of social networking and gaming.Players are given a ground with six fields,"cash",a few seeds and a plough and have to build up wealth,skills and neighbors to create bigger,better,richer farms.Inviting your online friends to play means you earn more and get free gifts;you rise rapidly through the first levels but,once hooked,have to work harder and harder with no final level or goal in sight.
"Games like this draw people into a fantasy world that's separate from real life where there are no issues,and where things are simple and controllable,"Brian Dudley says.In November,he opened the UK's first computer games addiction clinic,treating online gamers who stayed at the keyboard for up to eight hours a day-"the tip of the iceberg",he says.Two weeks ago,a group of US players launched a class action against Zynga and Facebook."Most,if not all,of the online advertisements presented through Zynga are scams(骗局),"the lawsuit states."The advertisements are highly misleading and often result in users ordering goods or services that they do not want or need."
According to Nick O'neill from the social media site All Facebook,Zynga is making dollar 500,000(£304,000)a day,from its Facebook games,in turn spending some dollar 50m(£30m)a year on Facebook ads.
If all that weren't enough,FarmVille doesn't even function like a proper farm:in FarmVille,wheat grows in two days-in real life,it takes months.But play continues nevertheless.

B.She can play the guitar beautifully with her hands all the time.
C.She can make some chickens lay eggs for her breakfast.
D.She can get an animal to live through a long time without eating anything.

A.you have to work harder and harder
B.you should pay real-world money to advance in the game
C.you should invite your online friends and neighbors to play
D.you should develop your skills and befriend FarmVille neighbors

4.If you see a group of people dancing and singing on the street or in the railway station,you don't need to feel surprised.They are a flash mob (快闪族),which is a group of people who come together suddenly in a public place,do something unusual for a brief period of time,and then quickly break up.They are usually organized with the help of the Internet or other digital communication network.At a predetermined time,they gather and perform some  distractions(消遣) such as waving their hands and exchanging books,Then,they quickly break up before the police can arrive.Using mobile phones,the flash mob can change its location if the first one has been replaced for any reason.
        Bill Lasik,senior editor of Harper's Magazine,organized the first flash mob in Manhattan in May 2003 and the first successful flash mob came together on June 3,2003-after the first attempt was foiled at Macy's department store.Lasik claimed that the activity was designed to make fun of hipsters (起时髦的人),and call attention to the cultural atmosphere.

      The flash mob is now becoming more and more popular.People use it to do many things.For example,in 2009,Michael Jackson's fans took part in a flash mob to remember him.Hundreds of his fans gathered singing and dancing Michael's famous song"Beat It"together.Flash mobs give people from all walks of life an opportunity to come together to create a memory.
