E-Sports，short for electronic sports，is one of the growing industries in the world，with prizes totaling around ＄25 million up for grabs in some tournaments.E-Sports are professional multiplayer video game competitions.Any video game with a strong competitive element is considered e-Sports.The competition models itself after traditional professional sports in several ways：it uses corresponding tournament formats，involves player contracts，and is governed by regulations.The athletes who compete in e-Sports competitions are gamers.
   The history of e-Sports dates back to 1972 when some Stanford University students competed in the Intergalactic Space War Olympics for the opportunity to win a one-year subscription to the Rolling Stone Magazine.E-Sports pretty much continued on the rather quiet path until the 80s when competitions like the Space Invaders Championship shot them to the spotlight.2002 marked the beginning of a new era for the sport and laid the foundation for what e-Sports would become thanks to the release of the Xbox live，which brought online play to consoles.Halo Ⅱ became the first game to be shown on national television for Major League Gaming in 2004，paving the way for e-Sports to become a global phenomenon.
   Today，e-Sports are growing at a rapid pace thanks to advance in technology and the arrival of streaming services like Twitch which have exposed video game competitions to a new audience due to their extensive reach.
   To understand how much impact Twitch has made，data from gaming analyst group Newzoo show that e-Sports global audience increased 43 percent from 204 million to 292 million between 2014 and 2016.Interestingly，this coincides（一致）with Amazon's acquisition of Twitch in 2014 and its effort to make the competition a spectator sport.

1．Plants grow well with enough sunshine and water.However，put in unfortunate conditions，they have no choice but to die.But what if plants could relocate to better places？
   It was this question that Sun Tianqi，founder of a Chinese robotics firm Vincross，asked himself while watching a dead sunflower. "I thought if it could have taken a 30 - foot walk out of the shadow to where the other sunflowers were，it would have lived healthily，" he said.
   He decided then to build a robot that would let plants do just that.The researchers took one of his company's traditional HEXA robot models and built a "flowerpot，" which replaced HEXA's shell.
   HEXA is a six - legged robot that comes complete with all the necessary sensors.The impressive plant robot can chase （追逐） the sun，hide for shelter，and perform a funny dance to indicate it is thirsty.
   Tianqi concluded， "Plants are passive.No matter if they are being cut，bitten，burned or pulled from the earth，or when they lack sunshine，water，or are too hot or cold，hey will hold still and take whatever is happening to them.They have the fewest degrees of freedom among all the creature in nature.This is simply the setting that nature gives to plants.I hope that this project can bring some inspiration to the relationship between technology and bad natural settings."

2．Working or learning in a foreign country can be a difficult experience.The hardest part of working abroad isn't finding a place to stay or learning the language.It's learning to overcome the culture shock.
   These things are part of everyday life，and include many signs，gestures，facial expressions，and customs.When we enter a new culture，these cues （提示） are usually not present or so different that they're no longer understandable to us.
   "When a person enters a foreign culture，" wrote Oberg，"all or most of these familiar cues are eliminated.He or she is like a fish out of water.No matter how broad-minded he or she may be，lots of props（支柱） have been knocked out from the environment."
   This is what happened to Lara，a young IT consultant （顧問(wèn)） from America who moved last year to their company in southern Europe.Three weeks after she arrived in Europe，Lara sent a desperate e-mail begging to return home. "The people are so unfriendly，" Lara wrote."They eat at strange hours and I'm starting to get allergic （過(guò)敏的） to the local food.I can't get anything done because their way of doing business is so disorganized and so inefficient and I have a terrible skin itch because of the water.I want to come home!"
   What Lara and other IT consultants meet on their first assignment abroad is a culture shock.While you can't prevent the culture shock from happening，you can take some measures to cut down its effects.

（1）What is the most difficult part for a foreign student？

A．Entering a famous school.
B．Finding a right place to live.

D．To show us where we'll meet with the culture shock.

3．How many different emotions do you think you can communicate to people with your face？Do you have the same facial expressions as the people from different cultures？Read this passage to find out what scientists have just discovered about this topic.
   New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion.However，how these expressions are interpreted（解釋?zhuān)?might depend on where you are from.Research by scientists from the Institute of Neuroscience and Psychology at the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions.It was widely believed that six basic emotions （happiness，sadness，fear，anger，surprise and disgust） were expressed and recognized across different cultures.However，the University of Glasgow's work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion.This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish（辨別）.Fear and surprise，for example，both share wide open eyes.The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look the same.
   So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions，how do we communicate a much more complex（復(fù)雜的） kind of feeling？The study found that the way expressions are interpreted is different in different cultures.However，while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition，scientists found that although there are some common features across cultures，the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized universally.
   What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research？This work leads to understanding which emotions we share and appreciating our differences.

（1）What did the University of Glasgow find？

A．Six basic emotions greatly influence our character.
B．Six basic emotions can be recognized.
C．It is easy to tell from the basic facial expressions.
D．Some of the six facial expressions are similar.
（2）Which group may be the four basic facial expressions of emotion？

A．Sadness，fear，anger and surprise.
B．Anger，sadness，fear and happiness.
C．Happiness，surprise，sadness and fear.
D．Disgust，happiness，anger and sadness.
（3）What can we learn according to Paragraph 3？

A．Basic facial expressions are not universal.
B．Facial expressions can't show complex feelings.
C．Western people have more kinds of facial expressions.
D．The way to express emotions changes with time.
（4）Which is the proper title for the passage？

A．What Does Your Face Say？
B．How Do We Communicate？
C．What Are the Six Basic Emotions？
D．Do We Have the Same Expressions？
