All aboard: try these out

Here are new card games popular in the Western geek circle that offer much brain work. Give them a try if you fancy testing your limits.

Mysterium

In this game, the players are to solve a murder mystery in order to put rest the soul of a wrongly-accused man who dies in prison.

Mysterium allows one player to be the ghost itself, who offers hints to other players in the way of “dream cards”. The dream cards will then lead players to the cards with details about the murder weapon, location and suspects. Figuring out the connections between these elements will help them find the murderer.

Playing the ghost can be fun, as Tony Mastrangeli, a game reviewer, puts it, “For me, some of the most fun comes from playing the ghost role. I like steering the ship and handing out cards.”

Codenames

Codenames starts players out with cards. Each card bears a word on the front and a secret identity on the reverse. Players are divided into two teams, red team and blue team. Each team has a leader, or “spymaster”, who owns a map of each hidden identity. It’s then their job to give out clues so the team members can find their own spies.

Spymasters can only indicate the word on the card following a strict format: a single word followed by a number. For example, if the cards bearing “cactus(仙人掌)” and “heat” both belong to the red team, the clue can be “desert, two”. The red team members will then start discussing the clues and try to find the two cards that relate to “desert”.

Pandemic: Legacy

In this game, you and your friends play a team of doctors and scientists, who can help to prevent four deadly diseases from wiping out humanity. This is a cooperative game, which means you and your teammates either live together or die together.

By drawing an instruction card, teammates will be able to move, treat diseases or build a research station. If they draw one of the five “epidemic” (流行病) cards, the city will suffer a disease outbreak. If handled wrong, outbreaks might lead to a chain reaction and cause things to crash down.

Pandemic: Legacy requires you to look at the bigger picture before making any decisions. Finding the balance between treating diseases and seeking more permanent cures is a constant challenge.

1.Playing the ghost in Mysterium offers you a lot of fun because ________.

A.you can bring the poor man back to life

B.you can solve the murder mystery by yourself

C.you can dominate the whole game

D.you can select your partners

2.In Codenames, what clue may the Spymaster give for the cards bearing “agency”, “climate” and “fountain”?

A.“architecture, 3” B.“tourism, 3”

C.“location, 3” D.“geology, 3”

3.Which of the following is NOT true about Pandemic: Legacy?

A.It’s a role-play game.

B.Its players need to beat one another.

C.It provides fun and mental challenge.

D.It calls for carefulness and comprehensive thinking to win the challenge.

In the early days of human history, people survived by hunting wild animals, or gathering wild grains and plants for food. Then, some people learned to grow crops and raise animals for food. They were the first farmers.

From the sixteenth century on, the word “farm” has meant agricultural land. But a much older meaning of the word “farm” is linked to economics. The word “farm” comes from the Latin word “firma”, which means an unchanging payment. Experts say the earliest meaning of the English word “farm” was a yearly payment made as a tax or rent.

Farmers in early England did not own their land. They paid every year to use agricultural lands. In England, farmers used hawthorn trees along the edges of houses. They called this row of hawthorns a hedge. Hedging fields was how careful farmers marked and protected them. Soon, people began to use the word “hedging” to describe steps that could be taken to protect against financial loss. Hedging is common among gamblers who make large bets. A gambler bets a lot of money on one team. But, to be on the safe side, he also places a smaller bet on the other team, to reduce a possible loss.

You might say that someone is hedging his bet when he invests in several different kinds of business. One business may fail, but likely not all. Farmers know that it is necessary to make hay while the sun shines. Hay has to be cut and gathered when it is dry. So a wise farmer never postpones gathering his hay when the sun is shining. Rain may soon appear. A wise person copies the farmer. He works when conditions are right.

1.We can know from the 3rd paragraph that farmers in early England _________.

A. had land of their own　　 B. paid to use hawthorn trees every year

C. used hedging fields　　 D. often suffered from financial loss

2.Which of the following is wise?

A. A mother tries to sleep as soon as her baby is quiet

B. Hay has to be cut and gathered before it is dry

C. Put off gathering hay when the sun is shining

D. Gather hay as it is rainy

3.If a boy is carefully listening to his teacher in class, he learns to _________.

A. become a wise farmer　　 B. hedge his bet

C. gather his hay　　 D. make hay while the sun shines
