Happy-up Reading 14

Name:____Time:____M____S Score:____

Computer games are just fun. I have been playing them for years and I have become really good at it. Some of my classmates think that I'm quite special. What's so special about that?

One day I was having lunch at school. Suddenly a girl I didn't know came and sat next to me.“What do you do for fun? ”She asked.“I am a gamer, ”I said in a low voice.“A gamer! ”She couldn't believe what I was saying and she burst into laughter, with all the apple pie out of her mouth.

Most people think gaming is suitable for boys, but not for girls. Maybe I should cut my hair short and change my actions so that I look like a boy.

Actually, most boys don't feel there is anything wrong with my hobby. I have met many boy gamers—some online and some face-to-face. None of them think badly about me being a girl gamer. I have made some good friends with them.

Playing computer games is also a kind of relaxing. I don't know why people feel strange about girls who play games. Girls who play games do it for the same reason as boys do: it's something fun to do in your spare time.
