VI. Reading Comprehension       選出最適當的答案。(每題4分，共12分)

Unlike other jobs that require eight hours per day, professional gamers often work at playing games for 14 hours a day. If a gamer is lucky enough to get a contract to play, that gamer must build his image. Without popularity, the gamer can quickly lose his or her job playing games. In fact, e-sports gamers have shorter careers than many professional athletes.

There are many demands that professional gamers must deal with. One of the demands is that they must play a lot. Professional gamers usually only get one day off per week, and some claim to hardly ever see their friends.

        Being a professional gamer sounds like fun and games, and there is real money from prizes and sponsorships. However, professional e-sports gamers actually exchange time for a faint possibility of success.
