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 (癮) . Young people can especially play so many games that they cannot stop.

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. Bjoem 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.”

Elephants have strong defenses against cancer that can prevent it forming,say scientists. They were trying to explain why the animals have lower levels of cancer than would be expected considering their size.
People think that every cell can become cancerous,so the more of them you have,the more likely you are to get cancer. So if an elephant has 100 times as many cells as a person,then it should be 100 times more likely to have the disease. And yet the analysis showed only 5% of elephants die from cancer compared to up to 25% of people.
The scientists turned to elephants’ DNA. Cancer is caused by mutations (變異) in a ceir s DNA that produce faulty instructions leading to (遏制不住的) growth. But animals also have “smoke alarms” that detect the damage and lead to the cell being repaired or killed. One of these alarms is called TP53,and while humans have one TP53 gene,elephants have 20.As a result,elephants seem far keener to kill off cells.
But Mel Greaves,from the Institute of Cancer Research in London,said, “We should focus on why humans have such high levels of cancer. In terms of adaptive mechanisms (機制) against cancer we have the same as chimps,but a lot more humans get cancer than chimps. I think the answer is that humans are completely unique as a species in having very rapid social evolution (進化) in a short period of time." He pointed to the rise of unhealthy,cancer-causing behavior,such as obesity and sunbathing. “You’ve never seen an elephant smoke!” he added.
In an evolutionary sense, “success” is judged by the number of kids you have rather than how long you live. Elephants have the greatest reproductive success towards the end of their lives,while humans can live for decades after we are no longer able to getting pregnant. It means there is little evolutionary pressure in humans to develop ways of preventing cancer in old age.
9. What is the text mainly about? ,
A. When elephants will get ill.
B. How elephants live a long life.
C. What elephants do when having cancer.
D. Why elephants have slight chances of getting cancer.
10. Why are elephants keener to kill off cells compared with humans?
A. They are larger in size.
B. They have a unique alarm.
C. They have more TP53 genes.
D. They have healthier eating habits.
11. In the eyes of Greaves, .
A. chimps get more cancer than humans
B. humans* unhealthy behavior increases cancer risk
C. chimps have better adaptive mechanisms than humans
D. elephants have more rapid social evolution than chimps
12. When elephants become old,they will .
A. fall into bad habits
B. suffer from various diseases
C. go on producing baby elephants
D. have less evolutionary pressure

Last week,we took part in a press conference at NASA’s Johnson Space Center promoting the release of The Martian movie. We spoke with several NASA officials and an astronaut about their plans to help humans set foot on Mars. They all shared with us the big challenges ahead in order to accomplish that. However,it is something they take seriously,and are determined to achieve.
In an interview at Space Center Houston,The Martian producer Aditya Sood told us the experience of working on the movie with NASA employees was amazing. He said he enjoyed interacting with folks who tried to solve a lot of difficult problems every day. We got an idea of what Sood was talking about when we interviewed some of the scientists responsible for getting humans to Mars.
Planetary Science Division Director Jim Green told us that getting humans on the surface of Mars in 2035 is probably too ambitious. They are actually looking to get a “human presence in the neighborhood” by the 2030s,meaning in Mars* orbit. Their goal for landing on Mars is for the 2040s or 50s.
The spacecraft that will take humans to Mars will be the Orion. It is not quite as futuristic-looking as the spaceship in The Martian. In fact,the Orion looks more like the spacecraft that took us to the moon. However,according to their website ,“NASA’s Orion spacecraft is built to take humans farther than they’ve ever gone before."
When asked if they will really be ready to go to Mars in the 2030sr Stu McClung,the manager of Mechanical,Pyrotechnic,Landing and Recover Systems,told us with confidence and pride,MMy capsule will be ready!” Although,he did make that statement with a bit of a wry smile(苦笑) .That is because he adfnits they still have a lot to figure out.
9. What does the underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A. The press conference.
B. Taking humans to Mars.
C. The release of The Martian.
D. Speaking with NASA officials.
10. After interviewing some scientists,the author realized that.
A. Aditya Sood had been lying
B. making The Martian wasn't so difficult
C. working with NASA employees was successful
D. NASA employees really faced a lot of challenges
11. What does Jim Green think they can achieve by the 2030s?
A. Helping humans land on Mars.
B. Taking humans into Mars,orbit.
C. Finding the landing spot on Mars.
D. Learning about the neighborhood of Mars.
