CPlaying 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 progamers practice for fourteen hours a day. “You need to spend much time and put all your
efforts to it”, says exgamer 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(受伤)are common. The top player Hai Lam had wrist(手腕)problems after years of progaming.
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!”
64. How many professional players were there around the world in 2017?
A. 130, 000. B. More than 3, 000.
C. Over 1, 000, 000. D. More than 10, 000.
65. What does the underlined word“thriving”in the text mean?
A. Getting worse. B. Doing well.
C. Developing slowly. D. Changing quickly.
66. 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.
67. 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.
D
It was an autumn morning, shortly after I moved into my own house. When I looked out of the
window, I saw my father moving around in the front yard. My parents lived nearby, and Dad had visited me
a few times already.
“What are you doing out there?”I asked him. He looked up and smiled, “I’m making a surprise
for you. ”I knew my father liked making things out of odds and ends(小玩意儿).
Because I was busy with my work and new life, I forgot about his surprise.
Then, one day of the following March, I looked out of the window. It was cloudy and cold. Would
winter ever end? Oh, no!What were those? I saw something in my yard, pink, blue and purple. They were
crocuses(番红花).
I smiled, remembering the plants Dad secretly planted last autumn. He knew I didn’t like March
because it was cold and cloudy.
How happy I was, not only for the flowers, but for my father!

Dear Mike,
I'm sorry to learn that your eyesight is getting weaker. I'd like to share with you some ways
of protecting eyesight in my daily life.
At school, I often go out of the classroom to play with my classmates or do physical exercise
during the breaks. In my free time , I also try hard to avoid using the mobile phone or the
computer. You know,the light they give off is harmful to our eyes. Besides,doing eye exercises
plays an important role in relaxing my eyes. Lastly, I usually have my eyes examined every term
to make sure my eyes stay healthy. I hope you'll find my ways are helpful.
Yours,
Li Hua
