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(瘾). 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.

In my very first job with some archaeologists, I wasn’t digging objects out of the ground, instead I was employed as an artist, drawing what they found. However, I was soon more interested in the stories behind the objects than in drawing them and that’s how my career in archaeology started. I still draw what I find in my work as a specialist on the Silk Road, the old trade route running from Egypt to Mongolia, and I also work on some underwater projects too.

In archaeology, my all-time hero is an American called Raphael Pumpelly. I first heard about him when I was a student on a trip to Turkmenistan, a country right in the heart of Asia. To get around the country, I had to learn Russian so that I could speak to the local people. When I got there I thought, “Wow! I’m one of the first Americans here!” Then an old man told me about an American archaeologist, Raphael Pumpelly, who was there doing the same thing over 100 years ago.

Archaeology’s in my family. My wife’s in the same profession, and, although our two boys aren’t interested in the future in archaeology themselves, we’ve been on some great digs together and they love what we do because they get to travel with us. Last summer, we took them to Lake Titicaca in South America, in the high areas of the Andes mountain range. My best experience was when I was digging on the Egyptian Red Sea coast. There’s very little rain and it’s so dry that everything is kept as it was. In an old house, where the owner used to store goods from the ships that came in, I picked up a 700-year-old mat in front of the house and there, under it, after all that time, was the house key with the owner’s name carved on it. It felt like he could be on his way home any minute! And I thought, “Hey, I do just that. This man’s not much different to me!”

1.While working in Egypt, what did the writer find so interesting?

A. That people from different centuries can be so similar.

B. The fact that the doormat was in such good condition.

C. The way the people managed to live in such a dry place.

D. That there had been so much trade in that area.

2.Which entry will the writer probably make in his diary?

A. Turkmenistan is interesting. I’m the first American to come here but I’m glad this is my last trip away.

B. I have been diving today and found some objects for an exhibition. I’ve just finished drawing them for my records.

C. I wish my children weren’t more interested in archaeology and would not work hard in the open like their parents.

D. It’s nearly dark but Raphael’s still busy digging in that old house. He can be very annoying. He thinks he’s the most important person here.

3.What is the writer’s main purpose in writing the text?

A. To describe the life of an archaeologist he admires.

B. To persuade people to take up archaeology as a career.

C. To explain what he enjoys about being an archaeologist.

D. To show how archaeologists work.

Successful people in international business understand the cultures of other countries and learn to change their practices in different cultures. They understand the importance of avoiding business decisions based on misconceptions—mistaken ideas.

One cause of misconceptions is ethnocentrism, the belief that one’s own culture’s way of doing things is better than the way of other cultures. It’s ethnocentrism that leads to failure in international business. To avoid ethnocentrism, it’s necessary to study the different elements（组成部分）of culture: language, values and attitudes, and customs and manners.

Language

A. knowledge of the local language can help international business people in four ways. First, people can communicate directly. Second, people are usually more open in their communication with someone who speaks their language. Third, an understanding of the language allows people to infer meanings that are not said directly. Finally, knowing the language helps people to understand the culture better.

Values are people’s basic beliefs about the difference between right and wrong, good and bad . An attitude is a way of thinking or acting. Values and attitudes influence international business. For example, many people in the United States believe that chocolate from Switzerland is better than chocolate from other countries, and they buy a lot of it.

Customs and manners

Customs are common social practices. Manners are ways of acting that the society believes are polite. For example, in the United States,  it is the custom to have salad （色拉） before the main course at dinner, not after. It’s not acceptable to talk with food in mouth at table. Failure to understand the customs and manners of other countries will bring difficulty selling their products. Orange juice as a breakfast drink of an American company in France doesn’t sell well because the French don’t usually drink juice with breakfast.

1.A. knowledge of the local language allows international business people _________.

A. to be more open with their customers

B. to communicate without outside help

C. to express their thoughts indirectly

D. to have a better idea of their own culture

2.The act of many people buying chocolate of Switzerland shows the role of ________.

A. manners        B. values        C. attitudes        D. customs

3.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Misconceptions in Business            B. Basic Beliefs in Business

C. International Business Culture           D. Successful International Business

4.The author’s purpose of writing this article is to tell people ___________

A. how to take a right attitude in business

B. how to avoid misunderstandings in business

C. how to use a local language in business

D. how to act politely and properly in business

For several days I saw little of Mr. Rochester. In the morning he seemed very busy with business, and in the afternoon gentlemen from the neighborhood called and sometimes stayed to dine with him. When his foot was well enough, he rode out a great deal.

During this time, all my knowledge of him was limited to occasional meetings about the house, when he would sometimes pass me coldly, and sometimes bow and smile. His changes of manner did not offend me, because I had nothing to do with the cause of them.

One evening, several days later, I was invited to talk to Mr. Rochester after dinner. He was sitting in his armchair, and looked not quite so severe, and much less gloomy. There was a smile on his lips, and his eyes were bright, probably with wine. As I was looking at him, he suddenly turned, and asked me, “Do you think I am handsome, Miss Eyre?”

The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: “No，sir.” “Ah，you really are unusual! You are a quiet, serious little person, but you can be almost rude.” “Sir, I'm sorry. I should have said that beauty doesn't matter, or something like that.” “No, you shouldn't! I see, you criticize my appearance, and then you stab (刺) me in the back! You have honesty and feeling. There are not many girls like you. But perhaps I go too fast. Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance your few good points.”

I thought to myself that he might have too. He seemed to read my mind, and said quickly, “Yes, you're right. I have plenty of faults. I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one, and have never found the right path again. I might have been very different. I might have been as good as you, and perhaps wiser. I am not a bad man, take my word for it, but I have done wrong. It wasn't my character, but circumstances which were to blame. Why do I tell you all this? Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to, because you're sympathetic and give them hope.”

It seemed he had quite a lot to talk to me. He didn't seem to like to finish the talk quickly, as was the case for the first time.

“Don't be afraid of me, Miss. Eyre,” he continued. “You don't relax or laugh very much, perhaps because of the effect Lowood school has had on you. But in time you will be more natural with me, and laugh, and speak freely. You're like a bird in a cage. When you get out of the cage, you'll fly very high. Good night.”

51. At the beginning, Miss Eyre's impressions of Mr. Rochester was all except __________.

A. busy              B. sociable                 C. dull                D. changeable

52. The underlined sentence means __________.

A. Only by meeting him around the house sometimes did I know a little about him.

B. Only by coming to the house could I know about him.

C. I occasionally met him but my knowledge about him was poor.

D. What I knew about him was limited in the house.

53. From what Mr. Rochester told Miss Eyre, we can conclude that he wanted to __________.

A. tell her all his troubles

B. tell her his life experience

C. blame her for misunderstanding him

D. change his circumstances

54. At the end of the passage, Mr. Rochester sounded __________.

A. rude              B. cold               C. polite            D. encouraging

55. According to the passage, which of the following statements is WRONG?

A. Miss Eyre was at Lowood School before she came to Mr. Rochester’s house.

B. Miss Eyre didn’t see Mr. Rochester often.

C. Miss Eyre was honest, brave and confident.

D. Miss Eyre was brave, polite and warm-hearted.
