    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!"

(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.

247 graduate students of Fudan University have volunteered to teach the children in Xihaigu region(地区)of Ningxia for the past 22 years. The region used to be poor because of its terrible natural environment.

Scientists find that hard﹣working people live longer than average men and women. Career(职业)women are healthier than housewives. Evidence(证据) shows that the jobless are in poorer health than job holders. An investigation shows that whenever the unemployment rate increases by 1%, work is helpful to health. 

Why is work good for health?It is because work keeps people busy away from loneliness. Researches show that people feel unhappy, worried and lonely when they have nothing to do. Instead, the happiest are those who are busy. Many high achievers who love their careers feel that they are happiest when they are working hard. Work serves as a bridge between man and reality. By work people come into contact with each other. By collective activity they find friendship and warmth. This is helpful to health. The loss of work means the loss of everything. It affects man spiritually and makes him ill. 

Besides, work gives one a sense of achievement. Work makes one feel his value and status in society. When a writer finishes his writing or a doctor successfully operates on a patient or a teacher sees his students grow, they are happy beyond words. 

From the above we can come to the conclusion that the more you work the happier and healthier you will be. Let us work hard and study hard and live a happy and healthy life.

The Drama Festival will run in and outside China from June 20 to July 7. Sixty-five works will be put on both in theaters and online. "The festival is all about imagination connecting drama with the latest technology," says Liu Chang, manager of the festival, who is also a drama director. Technology has improved design, performances and so on. Artists like Liu aren't sure if the new technology can take drama to the future.

A Chinese play directed by Meng Jinghui, , inspired (赋予灵感) by the two-part drama Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, will be on as the opening play of the festival. In the first half of the play, Meng introduces the story to 400 real audiences (观众) sitting in the Fengchao Theater in Beijing. The second half of the play will have more audiences, who use their cellphones, computers and headsets to be part of the play online.

Zhang Zhouxiang is a director full of imagination. His work, inspired by Hieronymus Bosch's paintingThe Garden of Earthly Delights, will be shown from June 30 to July 2. Supported by AI, audiences can explore thefictitious scene, similar to the feeling in the real world, as the painting describes.

Now technology is playing a more and more important role. Many artists want to use it to improve drama. They are very interested in the relationship between people and the latest technology, especially when connected in drama—a scene to dream.
