'CityVille' now bigger on Facebook than 'FarmVille'
(Mashable) -- Facebook game developer Zynga has proved once
again that it knows exactly what it needs to do to keep millions of
Facebook users happy and occupied.
In less than a month, its latest game "CityVille"___ ______
(become) the most popular application on Facebook, surpassing
Zynga's previous hit "FarmVille" in all areas.
According to AppData, "CityVille" now has 16.8 million daily
active users, compared to "FarmVille's" 16.4 million. Looking at
monthly active users, "CityVille" is also ahead with 61.7 million
users, while "FarmVille" trails behind with 56.8 million users.
Zynga's "FrontierVille" and "Texas HoldEm Poker" also round out
the top five: put those four apps together (we'll disregard the fact
that many of those users overlap for a second) and you have a
very impressive number: 184 million active users across four
games.
The only non-Zynga app in the top five list is "Phrases," _____ at
one point threatened to take the top place, but is now
overshadowed by both "CityVille" and "FarmVille."
"CityVille's" future success wasn't hard to predict after an
amazingly good start at the beginning of December, but it's still
impressive to see Zynga amassing tens of millions of users in a
matter of days, proving that all that venture capital that went into
the company isn't there by accident.

Hunting High and low

(Paul Waaktaar-Savoy)


Here I am

And within the reach of my hands

She sounds asleep

And she's sweeter now

Than my wildest dream

Could have seen her.

And I watch her sleeping away

But I know I'll be

Hunting high and low

Ah, there's no end

To the lengths I'll go to

Find her again

Upon this my dreams are depending

Through the dark

I sense the pounding of her heart

Next to mine

She's the sweetest love

I could find

So I guess I'll be

Hunting high and low

Do you know what it means

To love you

I'm hunting high and low

And now she's telling me

She's got to go away

I'll always be hunting high and low

Only for you

Watch me tearing myself to pieces,

Oh, for you I'll be hunting high and low

Leia o texto sobre o Summer job (trabalho de verão) de uma moça e responda a questão.

Summer Jobs

    It's easy to find a summer job in this town because there are plenty of restaurants and bars that need extra help in the tourist season.
    I've had a lot of different jobs here - I've been a pizza delivery person, a babysitter, a kitchen assistant... but this is the first time I've worked in a bar. The pay is alright and people here are cool, but I have to put up with late hours... oh, and drunk customers once in a while.
    I've been here for about two months now. All in all, I like it, but the best part is – I have already saved enough money to spend a couple of weeks in New York visiting my old college roommate Christine.
    We have been best friends since we were eighteen years old. Chris has been here to visit me twice, so now it's my turn to visit her. I've never been to New York before so I'm really looking forward to this trip.
    I've already booked the flight, bought new clothes and arranged with a neighbor to water my plants while I'm out. I can't wait!
