On the night of November 3 , iG beat a European’s e-sports club and won the 2018 League of Legends (LOL)(英雄联盟) World Cup on Korea . It was the first time in the events eight-year history that a Chinese club won.

The victory showed how e-sports has progressed in China in recent years. A growing number of e-sports clubs have been set up in China in the last 10 years or so, and more young gamers are working as e-sports players. However, becoming a professional（专业的）e-sports player is not all about having fun or playing games.

An e-sports player should have some abilities .They must be patient enough .They must also act very quickly. Professional players can have 400 actions within one minute. The players can’t play this well all the time. The age of Professional players is from 17 to 25. After 25, they become slower.

E-sports players have to work hard every day. “We start to practice right after we get up in the morning and usually last until midnight,” said Huang Fuquan, a player from iG. “There is at least 12 hours of work every day.”

Many players practice so much that their body may easily get hurt . They also face lots of pressure. Some e-sports clubs have doctors and psychologists to help their players.

The road to being a professional player is not smooth. So if you want to turn your love for gaming into a full-time job, ask yourself this first： Are you really prepared？ Because you need to make a lot more efforts than others .

1. Choose outdoor activities over technology

When you’re at home, make it a rule that you can’t be online if the sun is shining. Instead, you have to go for a walk, ride a bike, swim or get some other kind of healthy physical activity for at least an hour before you can pull out your phone or tablet(平板电脑), or take a seat at the computer. This rule should be fit for everyone in your family.

2. Limit social media(媒体) use

Social networks(网络) have changed computer and mobile use for people of all ages. Whether it’s Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or Snapchat, limit the amount of time you spend on social media. Avoid aimless browsing(浏览) and give your time online a purpose: search for information about holidays or catch up on the news of the day. Then log off(退出).

3. Save time for reading

Make it a rule to read at least 30 pages of a great book before you check your computer or mobile phone. Pick the right reading material and you’ll soon find you’ve discovered an enjoyable hobby.

【推荐1】When I was in high school and college, I went to fast food restaurants pretty often. Even until today, fast food is a popular choice among students. So, what makes fast food restaurants really popular year after year?

The food is not very expensive.     1     So it is good to get something tasty to eat and still have some money left for a movie later.

Nowadays, many fast food restaurants open till late nights.     2     Most teenagers go there also because other boys and girls are there. It is fun to be there, as seen in fast food TV advertisements. It is cool.

    3     You can just order fries or you can also mix and match with plenty of choices, such as coke with French fries, sundae with apple pies, salad with burgers. And managers there will not stare（盯着）at you for reading there for hours if you just order French fries and a cup of coke.

    4     They can have group discussions of school projects, small talk and even birthday celebrations.

You can try telling them some fast food is unhealthy, but I doubt if teenagers will listen. Fast food is still popular with many of them. Some of them go to a fast restaurant every week. The food there is cheap, delicious, and served fast.

【推荐2】Uncle Li and Uncle Wang are good friends. They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain. So they can help each other. But neither of them likes to use their heads. They work hard but they are both poor. Most villagers build new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why.

Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife. In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it when he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor (拖拉机). Bad luck! A lot of apples were in the city when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price. They felt unhappy and returned to their village.

“I can’t understand why we sustained losses in business (生意上蒙受损失) while others always profit (盈利).” Uncle Li asked one day.

“The tractor was too small.” Uncle Wang said without thinking. “We’ll carry more apples on a truck next time!”

“I agree!” said Uncle Li. “How foolish we were!”
