Playing video games and getting money for it seems like a dream job for many of today’s teenagers. But is it all fun and games?

Big business

Pro (professional) gaming is certainly big business. In 2017, there were more than 3,000 gaming competitions and over 10,000 professional players worldwide. A large number of people watch their competitions online, and successful gamers can get more than 1,000,000 dollars from prize money and ads. The industry is clearly thriving.

What it takes

Becoming a professional is not just about being good at playing games- it also takes a lot of hard work. Some pro gamers practice for fourteen hours a day. "You need to spend much time and put all your efforts to it", says ex-gamer George

Not all fun and games

It can be a difficult job as well. Stress is a big problem for gamers. Tiredness is another, and injuries(受傷) are common. Top player Hai Lam had wrist(手腕) problems after years of pro gaming. Careers(生涯)are short, and many gamers retire (退休) before they are 30 and try to find another job.

However, the bad points probably won't change the dreams of many teenage gamers. And angry parents are still likely to hear the excuse, “But I'm just practicing for my future job!”

1.How many professional players were there around the world in 2017?

A. 130.000. B. More than 3, 000. C. Over1,000.000. D. More than 10.000

2.What does the underlined word "thriving" in Paragraph 2 mean

A. Getting worse. B. Doing well. C. Developing slowly. D. Changing quickly.

3.What can we infer from the last sentence of the passage?

A. Children are angry with their parents

B. Teenagers practice games for their future jobs

C. Some teenagers are crazy about playing games

D. Parents stop their children playing games successfully.

4.What's the main idea of the passage?

A. Pro gaming isn't all fun and games

B. The career as a pro gamer doesn't last long

C. Being a pro gamer is a good choice for teenagers.

D. Being a pro gamer is an easy way to make money.

Being a teenager can be challenging, but it can also be exciting. You’re becoming more independent and making decisions for yourself. You are also learning to take risks and solve problems better. And changes are happening throughout your body, even in your brain.

The changes in your brain are influencing how you develop into an adult. Imagine the structure（結(jié)構(gòu)）of your brain is like a big road map. Lots of roads lead to different destinations(目的地）. When you were a child, as you learnt new things, your brain created more and more roads to different destinations. By the time you become a teenager, many different roads lead to the most important places on the map. Now your brain’s job is to make that map more efficient.

As a result, your experiences as a teenager actually influence the way that your brain develops. If you spend hours playing video games, what skills do you use? You learn to see something with your eyes and respond to it with your hands. As you develop those skills, your brain is making sure that the roads leading to them are especially fast and efficient. So, your video—game playing could be preparing you for a career such as a pilot.

This is a great time for you to practice new skills and discover what you’re good at and try what you love doing. Go out and try different activities, and stick to them if you think they’re useful. Remember that with everything you do, you’re shaping your brain for the future.

1.What happens as children learn new things?

A.Their brains make the maps more efficient.

B.The structures of their brains are like big road maps.

C.Their brains create more roads to different destinations.

D.Many different roads lead to the most important places and stick to the useful activities.

2.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A.Your brain. B.Something you see. C.Your skill D.Something you learn.

3.What’s the writer’s advice for teenagers?

A.Teenagers should learn to be more independent.

B.Teenagers should work harder and more efficiently.

C.Teenagers should play more video games in order to be a pilot.

D.Teenagers should experience more and stick to the useful activities.

4.Which would be the best title for the passage?

A.Making Decisions for Yourself B.Developing Your Brains for the Future.

C.Ways of Changing Your Brain. D.Changes Happening in Your Brain.

To wear or not to wear masks？

In the West, people are taught to wear masks only when they get sick. Masks are seen as a tool to protect sick people and prevent the disease from spreading, so healthy people don’t need to wear them. Therefore, during the novel coronavirus outbreak, overseas Chinese students said that they would be “stared at like a virus spreader” if they go out with a mask.

In Asian countries like China and Japan, there has been a long tradition of mask-wearing. In China, for example, when doctor Wu Liande invented the modern medical mask during the pneumonic plague (肺鼠疫) in 1910, the mask became a symbol of China’s position as a modern, scientific nation, according to Scottish medical anthropologist (人類學(xué)家) Christos Lynteris. The 2003 SARS epidemic again led to the wide use of masks as a form of anti-viral protection in China and elsewhere in East Asia.

In Japan, wearing masks has long been seen as a manner to reassure others when one catches a cold or flu. Some Japanese also turn masks into fashion accessories (配飾), with different colors and patterns to match their clothes. Wearing masks is also a way to “hide” for young women when they don’t have their makeup on.

In more collectivist cultures in Asia, wearing masks might also be a symbol of solidarity during the outbreak, according to Lynteris. “Mask culture in Asia creates a sense of a fate shared, common obligation and civic duty.” People wear masks “to show that they want to stick together” in the face of danger, Lynteris wrote.

1.Why don't healthy people in the West wear masks?

A.They don't think masks can prevent disease. B.They think masks are for sick people to wear.

C.Only medical workers need to wear masks. D.Wearing a mask looks funny.

2.Masks have been widely used in China since _____.

A.the invention of the modern medical mask B.the pneumonic plague in 1910

C.Christos Lynteris wore one publicly D.the outbreak of SARS in 2003

3.What does Lynteris mean in the last paragraph?

A.People have no sense of duty if they don’t wear masks.

B.Mask culture creates a sense of collective obligation.

C.Asian people are more united in the face of danger.

D.We are a community with a shared future for mankind.

4.The purpose of the story is to _____.

A.explain why Westerners don’t wear masks

B.prove the importance of wearing masks during an epidemic

C.how opinions about masks differ between different countries

D.explain the history of masks
