The “e” in e-sports stands for electronic. Instead of playing physical games, people play games on a computer. Most of these games are played on the Internet.

People love e-sports for the same reasons as people love many other sports. The competition is fun. The play is exciting to watch. The players are highly skilled. However, people like e-sports for another key reason. The sport of video games creates new, exciting worlds. In the games, people can do things that they cannot do in normal life.

South Korea is the global center for professional e-sports. In South Korea, places called PC Bangs are very popular. They usually have one big room filled with many computers. There are no windows. People pay to play the games. They can also buy energy drinks and food. Young people spend many hours there.

Many people are concerned about the problems that can come with e-sports. One main problem is technology addiction(癮). Young people can especially play so many games that they cannot stop. Some experts believe that half of South Korean children have problems because of using computers and the Internet too much. Therefore, the South Korean government made a special Shutdown Law in 2011. According to the law, children under 16 are not permitted to use the Internet between midnight and six in the morning. Today, parents are responsible for setting rules for their own children. Also, the government established technology addiction treatment centers, which treat millions of people every year.

One of the biggest problems in e-sports is drugs. Many players often take drugs to improve their performance. However, using drugs can be very dangerous. Bjoern Franzen worked in the e-sport business for many years. He wrote in his blog, “Using drugs in e-sports is one of the industry’s secrets. It is a natural thing for some League of Legends players to take different kinds of drugs before a game. They will even do this to extend their training for a few extra hours.

1.According to Paragraph 2, people are more attracted by e-sports particularly because ________.

A. it is creative

B. it is full of competition

C. it has no time limitation

D. its players are professional

2.What do PC Bangs in South Korea mainly aim at?

A. Selling popular drinks and snacks.

B. Providing people with computer games.

C. Displaying different types of computers.

D. Instructing kids under 16 to surf the Internet.

3.What did the South Korean government do about technology addiction?

A. They shut down some e-sports centers.

B. They urged parents not to use computers at home.

C. They passed a law to limit the time kids spend on the Internet.

D. They planned to set up technology addiction treatment centers.

The extraordinary Eastgate Building in Harare, Zimbabwe’s capital city, is said to be the only one in the world to use the same cooling and heating principles as the termite mound (白蟻堆).

Architect Mick Pearce used precisely the same strategy when designing the Eastgate Building, which has no air conditioning and almost no heating. The building is the country’s largest commercial and shopping complex but uses less than 10% of the energy of a conventional building of its size. The Eastgate’s owners saved 3.5 million on a 36 million building because air conditioning didn’t have to be equipped.

The complex is actually two buildings linked by bridges across a shady, glassroofed atrium (天井) open to the air. Fans suck fresh air in from the atrium, blow it upstairs through hollow spaces under the floors and from there into each office through vents (通風(fēng)口). As it rises and warms, it is drawn out via ceiling vents and finally exists through fortyeight brick chimneys.

During summer’s cool nights, big fans blow air through the building seven times an hour to cool the empty floors. By day, smaller fans blow two changes of air an hour through the building to circulate the air which has been in contact with the cool floors. For winter days, there are small heaters in the vents.

This is all possible only because Harare is 1,600 feet above sea level, and has cloudless skies, little dampness and rapid temperature swings-days as warm as 31 °C commonly drop to 14°C at night. “You couldn’t do this in New York, with its fantastically hot summers and fantastically cold winters,” Pearce said.

The engineering firm of Ove Arup & Partners monitors daily temperatures. It is found that the temperature of the building has generally stayed between 23 °C and 25 °C, with the exception of the annual hot period just before the summer rains in October and three days in November, when a doorkeeper accidentally switched off the fans at night. And the air is far fresher than in airconditioned buildings, where up to 30% of the air is recycled.

1.Why was Eastgate cheaper to be built than a conventional building?

A. It was designed in a smaller size.

B. No air conditioners were fixed in.

C. Its heating system was less advanced.

D. It used rather different building materials.

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

A. Fresh air from outside.

B. Heat in the building.

C. A hollow space.

D. A baseboard vent.

3.Why would a building like Eastgate not work efficiently in New York?

A. New York has less clear skies as Harare.

B. Its dampness affects the circulation of air.

C. New York covers a larger area than Harare.

D. Its temperature changes seasonally rather than daily.

4.The data in the last paragraph suggests Eastgate’s temperature control system .

A. allows a wide range of temperatures

B. functions well for most of the year

C. can recycle up to 30% of the air

D. works better in hot seasons
