A young college student thought that he chose the wrong major at a common college, so he drank every day and didn’t study at all. He became more and more frustrated.
But he was never absent from Professor Yang’s biology class. He liked the course. Besides, Yang’s class was so interesting that he always listened carefully, never caring about whether the other students were paying attention or not in class.
Once he put a note in the homework he handed in, saying: “Professor, it is said that today’s college students are cheaper than potatoes. Do you agree?”
That day Professor Yang sent for him after class. When he came, he found the professor at a table with food on it. They drank happily over their meal.
When they became half drunk, the professor produced a small potato that was sprouting (发芽的). “Do you know how much this costs?” he asked the young man. “It’s soft but poisonous (有毒的). Nobody will take it even if it’s free.” He then threw the potato away.
The professor then showed him another potato. It was half the size of a football and perfectly round. “This potato is organic (有机的). It is not only large and fresh but also free of pollution. It is in high demand and quite expensive.”
The young man was impressed by what he’d heard. “Be such a potato,” said the professor

Millions of Chinese have been playing a mobile game called Travel Frog recently. You play as the “mother” of a frog who lives alone and enjoys traveling. You need to prepare food and tools for his trips. The frog will send you postcards while he is away.
The game’s popularity may have something to do with how lonely people are these days, according to the Xinhua News Agency. Many players have said that the lonely frog is just like them. But playing with the frog helps them forget their loneliness for a short time.
Loneliness seems to be a common problem today. According to the Guardian, about 40 percent of American adults say they’re lonely. And in the UK, about one in five people in the country are “always or often lonely”, The Telegraph reported.
This might be why the UK government declared (宣布) the country’s very first “Minister(大臣)of Loneliness” in January. The minister’s job is to find ways to help UK people feel less lonely. The minister’s office will provide more money for activities that connect people together.
This loneliness problem may be partly because of social media. When we see pictures of friends having fun or posting selfies (自拍) without us, we may compare their “perfect” lives with our own and feel bad and lonely.
But we should remember that no one is sure to be lonely. As UK poet John Donne once wrote, “No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent (陆地), a part of the main.”
Tips to get rid of loneliness
· Sing your favorite songs.
· Connect with a friend.
· Do something creative, such as drawing a picture.
· Imagine some place you’d like to visit, like a fun gathering or a sporting event.
( )42. What do players do while playing Travel Frog?
A. Build houses for their frogs. B. Prepare food and tools for their frogs’ trips.
C. Choose places for their frogs to travel. D. Write postcards to their frogs.
( )43. According to the story, why is the game so popular?
A. Because it is interesting.
B. Because it can be played on mobile phones.
C. Because people often feel lonely.
D. Because people have more free time these days.
( )44. To do with loneliness, the UK government _____.
A. developed the game Travel Frog B. created the “Minister of Loneliness”
C. held parties for people to get together D. stopped people’s use of social media
( )45. What can we infer(推断) from the last paragraph?
A. Everyone is connected with others.
B. We should not compare ourselves to others.
C. It’s not fun to feel lonely.
D. No one should live alone.
