Recently, Chinese netizens (网民) enjoy themselves on “growing and stealing crops” on the Internet. This is a game called “Happy Farms”. Now more and more people are joining in the game, and getting addicted. Some of them are even found playing the game at work. Because of this, some players have been fired by their bosses. Lovers have broken up, but none of them can stop Happy Farms from becoming more popular.
Here we interviewed some young netizens and let's see what their opinions were.
Nongmin: Playing happy Farms at work, that's terrible! A clerk was fired because she was online playing it at work.
King: I find that all the dreams of having houses and fields, which are very hard to get in real life, are very easy to be realized in the games. I think I know the reason why the game is so popular.
Kaixin: We have to know how to control ourselves. We should keep our minds on study. Games are just games. I prefer to play sports with my classmates when I am free.
Kitty: I like Happy Farms. My high-pressure work makes me feel like I can't breathe. I wish I could have a real house and farm, but it seems so far away. I have to turn to virtual(虚拟) nature for my own house and farm.
People often get tired from work or study, so they go to their own farms, take care of their crops and pull out weeds. It is really delightful to forget about the pressure. But some players work from morning to night to “grow and steal crops”. They lose themselves in the game and show no interest in anything else. It is really terrible.

You may think gymnastics is only for players in their teens and twenties. But Oksana Chusovitina has broken the unwritten rule of the sport. The 48-year-old woman made her return to the 2023 Hangzhou Asian Games. This is her fifth time to take part in the Asian Games. Also she is the only woman who has competed in eight Olympics. Chusovitina was born in Uzbekistan in 1975. At the age of 17,she attended her first Olympics in Barcelona,Spain. She won a gold medal in the team event,but this was just the beginning of her long story. 

In 1999,she gave birth to her first son,Alisher. She thought the Sydney 2000 Games were meant to be the last one for her. But it was not to be. In 2002,Alisher suffered from a serious illness. In order to give Alisher the best possible treatment,the family moved to Germany. In 2003,she returned to international competitions to raise money for her son. Luckily,both her comeback and her son's treatment were successful. 

After finishing a disappointing fifth at the London 2012 Games,Chusovitina told everybody that she decided to stop her career. But gymnastics was in her blood(血). "At night,I told everyone I had decided to stop my career. The next morning,I woke up and changed my mind,"she said. At the Tokyo 2020 Games,Chusovitina failed to reach the final event. Though she said once again that she would stop her career,she decided to return very soon. 

This year,her return to the Hangzhou Asian Games added another touch of colour to her career. Although she missed a medal,she said she would continue to train and compete for the Olympics in Paris. 

"I love gymnastics,and it brings me great joy. I'm just doing what I love. " Chusovitina said,"I can leave at any time. But I must do what I can today,so I won't regret it tomorrow. "

Two brothers planned a two- day trip in a forest and soon they were lost. They were far from home. But they knew how to camp. The older brother went to look for firewood (木柴). The younger brother went to look for food and water, but he could not find anything. He was very tired, so he sat down to have a rest. 

He noticed a bird in the tree next to him. Then he heard a voice, "I know where your parents are! I know where your parents are!"

Wondering who was talking, the boy looked around. He got so confused (迷惑的) when he saw nobody. Then he heard the words again. Suddenly, he came to know that the bird was talking to him!

The young boy looked at the bird. He said, "Can you really help us get home?"

She said, "Yes, I can. I know the village you live in. I can take you back there. I only ask for three insects (昆虫) to eat. That will give me the strength (力气) to guide you home."

The young boy quickly agreed to feed the bird and ran back to his camp as fast as he could to tell his older brother about it. His older brother did not believe him at first. Slowly he agreed to go with him and met the talking bird. 

They found three insects for the bird. The bird swallowed (吞下) them quickly. "We will leave in the morning," she said. 

The next morning, the boys followed the bird home. It took them many days. When the boys got home, they and their parents were very happy to see each other again. The parents had been sad since the boys left. The family decided that they would always feed hungry birds.
