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 games 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, a British daily, about 40 percent of American adults say theyre 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 announced the countrys very first “Minister of Loneliness” (孤独大臣) in January.

When we see pictures of friends having fun or posting pictures on WeChat or Microblog, we may compare their “perfect” lives with our own and feel sad and lonely.But we should remember that no one is born to be lonely. As UK poet John Donne once wrote, “No man is an island.

Tuhao has caught on in Western countries, too, to describe similar people in their countries.The adoption (采用) of the word by foreign countries is an example of Chinas spreading influence in the world not just economically, but also socially and culturally. People are paying attention to what is happening in China and are picking up some Chinese words in the process, especially those words that express unique (独特的) Chinese ideas that cannot be easily translated (翻译) into English.The OED is also thinking of adding hukou (户口) and dama (大妈) to the already 120 Chinese words in its dictionary. Hukou refers to (指的是) Chinas system of residency permits (户籍系统) and dama refers to middle-aged Chinese women whose gold buying habits influence the global gold markets. The news that the OED was adding these words has met with some criticism (批评). Some people say the words embarrass (使人尴尬) China, but others insist that in a globalized (全球化的) society its natural for words to spread and be adopted elsewhere. In fact, a word like tuhao expresses the humor of China. Its easy to pronounce (发音) and very accurate (精准的) at poking fun at (嘲弄) rich people who have more money than taste.（1）_ may be adopted in the Oxford English Dictionary in 2014 according to the passage.A . TuhaoB . HukouC . DamaD . All above（2）_can be called “tuhao” according to the passage.A . All newly rich peopleB . People who own their money easilyC . People who love money very muchD .
