Tiny people might be living inside of your computer—eating, sleeping, and going to school just like you do. But don’t be alarmed.This civilization is not real.The people are characters from the gameThe Sims, the best-selling creation of Will Wright’s. After graduation, Wright got a job working on a typical fighting video game called Raid on Bungeling Bay. In this game, the player drops bombs on a city. Wright found that his favorite part of the design process was creating the landscape(风景), not destroying it. Wright’s dream, like that of many of his friends, was to produce his own video game. He designed Simcity. but for years could not find anyone willing to invest the money needed to put it on the market.Then one day, he met computer-game producer Jeff Braun, who loved the idea of a noncombative(非打斗的)game .Together they formed a small company—and a whole new type of video games called “Simulation (模拟) Reality“ that allow players to build virtual societies. Simcity came out soon, followed byThe Sims eleven years later. “We spend a lot of time doing research before we start making the games—usually about a year or two,“ says Wright. “For my latest game, Spore, I started the research process about six years ago.“ Today, Wright employs a large team of computer programmers, designers, and graphic artists to help him bring his ideas to life. He owes his success to three things: his curiosity, his persistence, and his team.

Over the centuries, scientists have been trying hard to find satisfactory substitutes for precious stones but failed many times. Many years ago, a chemist surprised the world by saying: It should be possible to make a precious stone that not only looks like the real thing, but that is the real thing.The only difference should be that one crystal would be made by man, the other by nature. At first this did not seem like a particularly hard task. Scientists began to try making synthetic diamonds towards the end of the eighteenth century and discovered a key scientific fact: diamonds are a form of carbon, which is a very common element. Then, why not change a cheap and plentiful substance, carbon, into a rare and expensive one, diamond?This change takes place in nature, so it should be possible to make it happen in the laboratory. It should be possible, but for 150 years every effort failed though several people believed that they had solved the diamond riddle during this period. The real success came after the scientists realized that, in changing carbon into diamonds, unbelievably heavy pressure and extremely high temperature are indispensable, and carbon needs to be dissolved(溶解) in a metal that helps the reaction to take place more easily. Under these conditions, a number of shiny crystals were produced in the laboratories of the General Electric Company.The results of careful analysis showed that the chemist was right: these jewels of the laboratory were not like diamonds; they were diamonds.
