Arcade games have come a long way since the 1980s. In those days, video arcades were usually filled with games with just a small television screen, a joystick and a few buttons. These days, you can do a lot more in an hour at your local video arcade. You can ride a motorcycle, fire a rifle, or dance your way to fame.
Saturday night is the busiest night of the week at the Cyberworld video arcade in New York. Popular games include the “Tekken” fighting games, car racing favorite “Daytona USA,” and the shooting game “Silent Scope.” But the game with the biggest crowd around doesn’t involve fighting, racing or shooting—just some smart dance moves. The game is “Dance Dance Revolution” (DDR for short) and fans will tell you that it’s addictive.
The idea is simple: the player gets instructions from a video screen, and has to step on the correct arrow on the floor in time with the music. Right now, Ray Diaz is preparing to play the DDR machine. The 19-year-old college student moves his shoulders up and down a few times to relax, then pays $4 for five dances in a row. Then the music starts up. Following the arrows on the video screen in front of him, he moves his feet and twists his hips in time to the music. A voice from the machine coaches him. It makes comments like “Looking good!” when he makes a difficult move successfully, and “Stay cool!” when he misses.
More than a dozen people are now watching and at the end of the game, the crowd applauds. Ray smiles, “It’s the best game for show-offs,” he says.

【題組】27. People are addictive to DDR because they _____.
(A) can’t stop playing it.
(B) fight for revolution.
