A Chinese team claimed victory at an international e-sports（电子竞技）championship held in Paris on Sunday.

Royal Never Give Up beat South Korean team Dragon X 3-1 to lift the crown at the League of Legends Mid-Season Invitational 2018. It marked the first time in 1,106 days that a South Korean team had been defeated by a team from elsewhere at a major international League of Legends tournament（锦标赛）.

League of Legends is a multiplayer online battle arena video game that was launched in 2009 and rapidly built a following among members of the competitive gaming community. The tournament in Paris featured teams from 13 countries and regions competing for cash and a place in the global rankings.

Royal Never Give Up entered the contest fresh from their victory at the spring season of the Tencent League of Legends Pro League, the top level of China’s professional League of Legends league system. Their win in Paris was largely owing to star player Jian Zihao, aka Uzi. “I’ve been trying to win this title for six years now,” Jian said on stage following the victory. “I can’t imagine I’m standing here with this trophy. I’m super excited for this moment.” Royal Never Give Up’s victory has boosted confidence in China’s ability to win at major international e-sports events.

E-sports’ popularity has ballooned in recent years, with the International Olympic Committee scheduled to meet in July to further discuss the possibility of including e-sports in future Olympic Games. According to Penguin Intelligence’s 2017 China Game Industry Report, released in June, the annual market value of China’s e-sports sector reached 20 billion yuan ($3.13 billion) in 2016, generated by gamers’ spending, copyright distribution, merchandising and e-commerce.

How to Be an Effective Member of a Team

Working in a team can be rewarding, but at times it can be difficult. To create a successful team, effective communication methods are necessary. Here we’ve outlined some ways to avoid some common team mistakes as well as some helpful advice.

Communicate

1. Letting bad feelings brew（酝酿）will only make you feel bad and want to isolate yourself from the group. Not only does it feel good to get the bad feelings out, but it will be better for the team in the long run.

2.

People in your group will lose respect for you if you’re constantly blaming others for not meeting deadlines. Group members understand if you have a heavy workload and aren’t able to meet a deadline. Saying something like, “I’m really sorry, but I’ll get it to you by the end of today.” will earn you a lot more respect than trying to make it seem like it’s everyone else’s fault that you missed your deadline.

Support group member’s ideas

If a teammate suggests something, always consider it! 3. And this makes you a good team member. After all, nobody likes a know-it-all.

Listen Actively

Look at the person who’s speaking to you, nod, ask questions and acknowledge what’s said by paraphrasing points that have been made. If you’re unclear about something that’s been said, ask for more information to clear up any confusion before moving on. Effective communication is a vital part of any team. 4..

Get Involved

Share suggestions, ideas, solutions and proposals with your team members. Take the time to help your fellow teammates. You can guarantee there will be a time in the future when you’ll need some help or advice. 5..

A. Don’t Blame Others

B. Avoid showing off

C. Thus, the value of good listening skills shouldn’t be ignored.

D. Have faith that people will recognize when good work is being done.

E. If you have a problem with someone in your group, talk to him about it

F. And if you’ve helped them in the past, they’ll be more than happy to lend a helping hand.

G. Considering the group’s ideas shows you’re interested in other people’s ideas, not just your own.

TOKYO - Japan is considering plans to calm tensions（紧张）with China by acknowledging(承认) Chinese claims to the disputed islands in the East China Sea, while maintaining its own position, Kyodo News cited sources as saying on Tuesday.

According to the Associated Press (AP), a Chinese scientist claims he successfully created the world’s first genetically-edited babies.

Chinese researcher He Jiankui, a research professor at China’s Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, said he had edited DNA of twin girls born a few weeks ago. ①

He’s claims were immediately criticized by some scientists as unsafe and unethical. This kind of gene editing is forbidden in the United States and many other countries. ②Such changes to a person’s DNA can pass to future generations and risk harming other genes.

In interviews, He Jiankui defended his work. He said he had performed the gene editing to help protect the babies from future infection of HIV, the virus responsible for the disease AIDS. He said the process had “worked safely” and the twin girls were “as healthy as any other babies.” He told the AP he felt a strong responsibility “not just to make a first, but also to make an example” for future research. “Society will decide what to do next,” he said.

When He’s claims became public, the university made a statement saying his work had “seriously went against academic ethics and standards.” University officials said they had no knowledge of his research and had looked into the case. ③

China’s National Health Commission was “highly concerned” about the claims and ordered local health officials “to immediately look into” He’s activity. “We have to be responsible for the people’s health and will act on this according to the law,” the commission said.

Scientists discovered in recent years a new way to edit genes that make up a person’s DNA throughout the body. The tool, called CRISPR-cas9, makes it possible to change DNA to supply a needed gene or take one away that is causing problems. So far the tool has only been used on adults to treat deadly diseases, and the changes only affected that person.

④Kiran Musunuru, a scientist from University of Pennsylvania, told the AP that if such an experiment had been carried out on human beings, it could not be “morally or ethically reasonable.” Julian Savulescu, a medical ethics expert at Britain’s University of Oxford, agreed. “If true, this experiment may cause disasters,” he told Reuters.

However, one well-known geneticist, Harvard University’s George Church, defended the attempt to edit genes to prevent infections of HIV. He told the AP that since HIV is “a major and growing public health threat” he finds such experiments “valuable.”

1.What can we learn from this passage?

A. All scientists consider He’s experiment unsafe and unethical.

B. The university He works in supports his experiment.

C. Many countries don’t allow editing babies genetically.

D. China’s National Health Commission thinks highly of He’s experiment.

2.The following sentence “However, many scientists believe such experiment is dangerous.” can be placed in __________.

A. ①　　 B. ②

C. ③　　 D. ④

3.What’s the author’s attitude towards He Jiankui’s research?

A. Supportive.　　 B. Uninterested.

C. Doubtful.　　 D. Neutral.

4.What might be the best title of this passage?

A. Chinese Scientist Claims First Gene Edited Babies

B. Chinese Scientist Finds A New Cure For AIDS

C. Gene Editing Still Has A Long Way To Go

D. China Takes The Lead In Gene Editing

The team I work in just has 2 new interns（实习生）, and I happen to be their supervisor.

After todays lunch break, I saw that one of them was reading things on her smart-phone, maybe on some social network, I guessed. I went to her and said “There’s another document here needing translation. Do you have time to finish it for me?”

That document was not in her assigned workload. But I thought I could let her challenge herself a little bit with it, seeing that she seemed to have time.

“Yes, I do have time.” She said, “But I’m just an intern.”

I didn’t quite know what to say back then. After a while I mumbled（咕哝） “Right. Yes.” And I turned around and left.
