Live Actin Rle Playing (LARP) games, a frm f rle-playing where participants act ut their characters, have becme very ppular with Chinese yuths. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the LARPing craze has even extended t ther sectrs such as nline gaming and livestreaming.
Many LARPers are in their 20s, and they enjy the detective games nt just fr fun, but als scial netwrking.

After the game, which usually takes fur t seven hurs, peple usually g ut fr lunch r dinner - a perfect way t get t knw their new Acquaintances.
Chen Zizheng, general manager f Dieying LARP Studi in suthern Chinese city f Guangzhu, is ptimistic abut the future develpment f this industry. But Chen added, "the industry is nt as prfitable as it seems." Custmers wn't play the same game script fr a secnd time. In rder t maintain custmer lyalty, the script must be renewed cnstantly.
Accrding t Chen, the cmmercial life f a script nly lasts fr tw t three mnths. Every mnth, they need t set aside 10,000 t 15；000 yuan fr new scripts. If the stryline isn't ppular, it wuld last a shrter time.
What's mre, as each LARP game lasts fr fur t seven hurs, they can nly arrange a maximum f three runds at ne studi. If a LARP studi wants t increase revenue, it will have t expand the studi r pen mre stres, which increases csts like rental and maintenance.
Despite the steep expenses, Chen still has reasn t be ptimistic. Data frm Meituan Research Institute shws LARP game's market value was ver 10 billin yuan in 2019, twice as much as 2018.
In the age f entertainment, whether LARPing be a prfitable industry that has a prmising future, r just a flash in the pan, nly time will tell.

“There was quite a big change in sme areas," said Stephen Arrwsmith, a seismlgist （地震 学家）at SMU, wh tk n the prject with a class f undergraduate and graduate students. Arrwsmith and his students lked at data frm a dzen seismmeters （地震仪）acrss Nrth Texas. Seismmeters are used t detect earthquakes, but they are sensitive t just abut everything that makes the grund vibrate, such as strng winds, cean waves, cnstructin and traffic.
The idea f using seismmeters t track urban nise first gained ppularity last March when Belgian seismlgist Thmas Leccq psted sme f his urban nise data frm Brussels n Twitter. Leccq, f the Ryal Observatry f Belgium, received such an verwhelming respnse frm scientists that he launched the grup "Lckdwn Seismlgy" n the Slack cmmunicatins platfrm.
"It's where bred seismlgists arund the wrld are cllabrating," Arrwsmith jked. Leccq wrte in an email t The Dallas Mrning News that he wanted t dcument the nise levels t shw hw small changes in persnal behavir can make an internatinal impact. Cities have seen a wide range f nise reductins ranging frm 20% t 90% during last year, Leccq said.
Arrwsmith hpes his findings will cntribute t a grwing list f creative ways in which researchers are using seismmeters. In his spring seismlgy curse, Arrwsmith teaches students hw seismic statins can help, investigatrs slve crimes, like terrrist bmbings, aid scientists in tracking nuclear tests pr assist inspectrs investigating accidents, like chemical plant blasts. One ptential applicatin f his research is t better understand the shallw layers f Earth beneath cities. "That culd be useful in places where there's a real seismic hazard, like San Francisc r Ls Angeles," he said, '"where just knwing what that shallw structure is tells yu a lt abut hw it wuld respnd in a big earthquake.
Recently, researchers have begun using seismic statins t track strms ver the cean because large waves register n the instruments t.

C. By revealing the nise data n scial media.
D. By launching the grup “Lckdwn Seismlgy”.

The wrldwide partial internet utage (中 断)this week, which lasted mre than an hur and apparently caused by human errr at a little-knwn cmpany based in San Francisc, wasn't a big deal fr mst peple. Yu might nt have even nticed it. But the businesses and services that went dark definitely nticed it.
Arund 7:30 pm (AEST) last Tuesday, dzens f sites began displaying 503 errr messages. This included The Age and The Sydney Mrning Herald, The Guardian, CNN, Blmberg, Amazn,
eBay, Twitch, Sptify and many thers.
The prblem was at Fastly, the prvider f ne f the internet's mst widely used cntent delivery netwrks (CDNs). These CDNs allw websites t be accessed quickly thrugh the use f servers spread acrss the glbe. These. servers reduce the distance data has t travel t get t its destinatin. There are many CDNs arund the wrld but they are cntrlled by a very small grup f peratrs: Fastly, Akamai and Cludflare.
Fastly attributed the prblem t a cnfiguratin (配置)errr, which likely means smene made a change that resulted in a cascade f system failures. Similar issues at CDNs have ccurred in the past and in this case, it was fixed prmptly.
But a brief incnvenience fr sme psed a big headache fr thers. Amazn Australia may have missed $114,000 during the hur f dwntime. Fr smaller businesses r mre vital services, the impact might have been mre hrrible. In the UK and the US sme gvernment services were als affected, including a British hub fr bking COVID-19 vaccinatin.
Dr Marcus Thmpsn, cyber security advisr and frmer head f infrmatin warfare fr The Australian Defense Frce (ADF), said the utage demnstrated the need fr greater data svereignty（主权) in Australia. "This was a technical utage, rather than a cyber-attack, yet the effect n Australian businesses and peple was the same. It calls int questin ur dependence n freign service prviders, he said.
Mnash university's Dr Klaus Ackermann, wh was part f a team that created a glbal internet pressure map t analyze the pressure n basic facilities, said lcal cmpanies culd cnsider taking matters int their wn hands. "If issues like this are t be prevented in the future, businesses need t be willing t invest in setting up their wn distributed servers," he said.
As distributed delivery has becme mre vital t peratins, cmpanies have started using multiple CDNs as insurance against failures. But it's a cstly strategy and switching frm ne CDN t anther in an emergency, even if yu've prepared befrehand, is nt a simple task.
32. What is the text mainly abut?
A What caused the prblem at Fastly.
B. Hw t prevent the internet frm utage.
C. What a wrldwide partial internet utage resulted in.
D. Hw t reduce dependence n freign service prviders.
33. What d we knw abut CDNs?
A. They reduce the data during the transfer.
B. They didn't cause incnvenience in the past.
C. They allw peple t access websites quickly.
D. They are cntrlled by a large grup f peratrs.
34. Accrding t Paragraph 5, which can be a "headache"?
A. Cmpanies' ecnmic lsses.B. Gvernments' financial prblems.
C. Websites' system failures.D. Cuntries' scial disrder.
35. Which f the fllwing might pssibly prevent such an utage?
A. Refusing t use varius CDNs.
B. Strengthening data svereignty.
C. Building cmpanies' wn websites.
D. Refusing t use freign cyber technlgies.
