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(受伤) 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.

Say you’re sitting around with some friends playing video games and someone mentions a game that happens to be one of your favorites. “Oh, that game’s easy. So not worth the time,” one of your friends says.The others agree. Although you enjoy the game quite a lot, not wanting to argue with them, you go along with the crowd.

You have just experienced what is commonly referred to as peer pressure（同伴压力）, also called peer influence. You will adopt a certain type of behavior, dress, or attitude in order to be accepted as part of a group of your “peers”. As a teen, you are likely to have experienced the effect of peer pressure in a number of different areas.

We are all influenced by our peers at any age. For teens, as school and other activities take you away from home, you may spend more time with your friends than with your family. As you become more independent, your peers naturally play a greater role in your life.

According to Dr. Casey from Cornell University, teens are very quick and accurate in making decisions on their own and in situations where they have time to think. However, when they make decisions in the heat of the moment or in social situations, their decisions are often influenced by factors like peers. In a recent study, teen volunteers played a video driving game, either alone or with friends watching. The researchers discovered that the number of risks teens took more than doubled when their friends were watching, compared with when they played alone. This shows that teens may find it more difficult to control risky behavior when their friends are around, or in situations where they are extremely angry. Just as people can influence us to make unwise choices, they can also influence us to make good ones. A teen might join in a volunteer project because his or her friends are doing it, or get good grades because his or her friends think getting good grades is important. In fact, friends often encourage each other to study, or try out for sports.

While we are always influenced by those around us, the decision to act or not is up to us. So when it comes to decision making, the choice is up to you.

1.According to the passage, Dr. Casey probably agrees that teens ____________.

A.like to play driving games with their friends

B.prefer situations where they have time to think

C.may take more risks when their friends are around

D.are slow in making decisions when they are on their own

2.The words “in the heat of the moment” in Paragraph 4 probably mean “_________”.

A.when teens avoid possible risks B.when teens trust their judgment

C.when teens lose control over their anger D.when teens give consideration to situations

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.Teens are eager to be different from their peers.

B.Peer pressure has effects on both teens and adults.

C.Peer pressure does more harm than good to teens.

D.Tees think it challenging to get good grades at school.

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

A.Peer Pressure: Is It Necessary to Deal with It?

B.Peer Pressure: Is It Possible to Get Away from It?

C.Peer Pressure: Its Benefits to Teens and Friend Making

D.Peer Pressure: Its Influence on Teens and Decision Making

You might have noticed that sometimes, when you’re playing mobile games or making a video call, the picture suddenly freezes(卡顿)because the network speed is too slow. When you try to download a movie on your phone, it seems to take forever.

These annoying things will soon become things of the past, as China just issued commercial licenses(发放商业牌照)for 5G networks on June 6. This means that China’s telecommunications(电信) companies will be able to offer 5G network speeds for mobile phone users.

The “G” stands for generation (代) . 1G let us talk to each other, 2G let us send messages, 3G gave us mobile data and Internet, and 4G made all of these things faster. So what will 5G bring？

First of all, 5G is so fast that it will allow us to download an entire HD movie in a second. The delay(延时) between sending and receiving data will be shortened. Now, 4G takes about 100 to 200 milliseconds(毫秒)，while humans have a reaction time of about 200 to 300 milliseconds. But 5G will get the delay down to 1 millisecond or less, which is almost real-time.

Because of this increase in speed, it will be possible to create and use new kinds of technology. Robots will be used to do operations because doctors will be able to control them from somewhere else without any delay. Self-driving cars will be able to drive more safely because they can smoothly communicate with other cars, traffic lights and road Sensors (传感器). 5G also makes the Internet of Things(IOT物联网)possible.

All in all, 5G will shape every type of technology that it touches. And you won’t have to wait too long for that to happen.

1.From the first paragraph we can know that________.

A.people can’t download movie at all on the phone

B.making a video call is impossible for phone users

C.sometimes the network speed is too slow to use

D.mobile games can’t be downloaded on the phone

2.What happened on June according to the passage？

A.China just gave commercial licenses officially for 5G networks.

B.Every mobile phone user could improve the network speed

C.Most mobile phone users didn’t use 4G anymore.

D.All the mobile phones are much cheaper than before.

3.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A.5G will make people’s life much easier and more convenient.

B.Self-driving cars will become safer because of the use of 5G.

C.Using 5G to download something doesn’t take any time at all.

D.5G can make people download an entire HD movie in a second.

4.We can find the passage________.

A.from an ad B.in a newspaper C.in a storybook D.in science fiction
