A king received a gift of two great falcons (猎鹰), and they were really beautiful. He gave the birds to his head falconer to be trained.

One day, the falconer told the king that although one of the falcons was soaring (高飞) high in the

sky, the other bird couldn't move from its branch (树枝) since the day it arrived.

The king called on many falcon trainers to train the falcon, but no one could make the bird fly.

After he tried everything else, the king thought to himself, "Maybe I need someone more

familiar (熟悉的) with the countryside to work out this problem.” So he asked his men to go and get a farmer.

In the morning, the king was surprised to find the falcon was soaring high above the gardens. The king asked the farmer, “How did you make the falcon fly?” The farmer said to the king, “It was very easy. I just cut the branch which the bird was sitting on".

We are all made to fly. But sometimes we just sit on our branches, don't want to leave the things that are familiar to us. So sometimes our lives are boring and not exciting. Let us learn to cut the branch that we are familiar with and free ourselves to a brave soar!

Charles Lane loves playing all kinds of games. He has loved games all his life. He has always been interested in computers, too. Today, his love of games and his interest in computers come together in his work. Charles works for a company (公司) that makes video games.

Charles never dreamed of working in a video game company. “It all started by accident (偶然),” he said. “One of my friends worked for a video game company. He knew how much I loved games, and he told me about a job. It sounded like fun.” It was a job as a video game tester.

When a video game company has a new game, they give it to testers. Testers play the game and look for bugs (程序错误) in it. The company wants to find and fix all the bugs before they sell the game.

Video game testers need to have good computer skills. They need to understand how computers work. Charles did not have great computer skills when he went for the job interview (求职面试), so he was nervous. However, the interviewers said, “That’s OK. We can teach someone to use a computer, but we can’t teach someone to love games.”

Charles worked as a video game tester for three years. Now he is a video game producer (制作人). This means that he works on every part of developing a new game. He really enjoys his work.
