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.

Have you ever rubbed your hands together when they get cold? Why do we do that? We do that for friction. Friction happens when two things that aren’t very smooth rub together to make heat energy. The faster you rub two things together, the more friction ( and heat) you can make. Let’s discover friction!

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

·Soap ·Water·Your hands!

WHAT TO DO

Make sure your hands are dirty.

Rub your hands together until you feel the heat of your hands.

Now, use soap and water to get your hands very slippery(滑的).

Try to make friction happen while your hands are slippery.

Please write down what has happened.

LET’S TALK!

Friction is an energy that happens when two things rub together. When friction happens, it makes heat! When your hands are slippery, they won’t make very much friction and your hands won’t get so hot.

DID YOU KNOW?

Friction happens when you stop your fast running bike.

Ancient people made fire by rubbing two pieces of wood together. Friction happened though they didn’t know it.

____?___

Friction is everywhere. Have you ever noticed situations where friction is happening? If not, ask your parents to take you out in a car. If it is not hot, touch the tires(轮胎) of the car before and after a short drive to see how much warmer they get from friction.
