14.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 flee 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﹩500,000(£304,000)a day,from its Facebook games,in turn spending some﹩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.

8.I climbed the ladder,heard my dive announced,and began the moves that would push me into the air.Pushing off the diving board with my legs,I lifted my arms and shoulders back,and knew immediately I would be close to the board and might hit my hands.I tried to correct myself as I turned,spreading my hands wide apart.Then I heard a strange sound and my body lost control.Moments later I realized I had hit my head on the board.
At the beginning,I felt embarrassed.I wanted to hide,to get out of the pool without anyone seeing me.Next I felt intense fear.Had I cut my head?Was I bleeding?Was there blood in the pool?Swimming to the side,I noticed many shocked faces.People were worried about my head; I was worried about something far more threatening.An official examined my head.In a hurry,I pushed him away,and everyone else who approached me."Don't touch me!"I felt like screaming."Get away from me!"
These were the trials (选拔赛) for the 1988 Olympics in Seoul,Korea.Until this dive,I had been ahead.But now,something else was more significant than winning.I might have endangered other divers'lives if I had spilled blood in the pool.For what I knew---that few others knew-was that I was HIV-positive.
According to my mother,my natural parents were Samoan (萨摩亚人) and only teenagers when I was born,so they gave me up for adoption.When I was only eighteen months old,I started gym classes.At ten,I explored doing gym exercises off the diving board at the pool.
Because of my dark skin,kids at school called me names.My diving made me feel good about myself when my peers made me feel stupid.At sixteen,I knew I had a shot at the 1976 Olympics.
Everyone was alarmed when I hit my head on the board in Seoul.Regardless,I made it to the finals.During my last dive in the finals,I enjoyed for the last time the quietness underwater and then swam to the side of the pool.The crowd cheered,and I knew I'd won---two gold medals.AIDS forced me to stop diving; I had to give up diving professionally after the Olympics.
