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 are common. Top player Hai Lam had wrist problems after years of pro gaming. Careers are short, and many gamers retire before they are 30 and try to find another job.
However, the bad points probably won’t change the dream of many teenage gamers. And angry parents are still likely to hear the excuse, “But I’m just practicing for my future job!”
8. 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.
9. What does the underlined word “thriving” in Paragraph 2 mean
A. Getting worse. B. Doing well.
C. Developing slowly. D. Changing quickly.
10. 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.
11. 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.
Dereck and Beverly are wildlife animal filmmakers. They have made lots of films about animals and plants. Their job is to keep and protect the big cats of Africa from damage. Beverly also takes photos of the lions，and her pictures have appeared in National Geographic magazine.

At that time，her brother and she often got their mother into trouble！Beverly was a dancer，an athlete，and a class leader. She played the piano（not very well）.Her favourite subject was science and she always got excellent grades in her science exams.
When in the field, their work starts at around 4 am. After drinking a cup of tea，they drive out into the bush to find their subjects. Sometimes that is a lion pride.

They follow the animals for the day, filming, researching, and collecting facts, information or pictures. They don’t stop working even when they have lunch. They are often back in camp by 8 pm.
When talking about the favourite places to explore, Dereck says, “We live in it!” Beverly thinks being in nature is her favourite.
