【题目】As a videogame producer, John Day has created popular games such as “Meet the Robinsons”, “Car 2” and “Toy Story 3”.

When he was young, Day spent lots of time playing videogames, but getting game ideas from his imagination to the screen required plenty of technical know-how, too. Luckily for Day, his father worked in the computer industry and shared his knowledge. However, Day says, “Each time he caught me playing games as a kid, his trademark phrase was, ‘You’re never going to amount to anything, wasting all that time on these videogames.’”

“I built my first PC when I was 11,” Day says, “and I never really stopped.”

While studying business management in college, Day also worked as a game tester. Both his education and job experience help him now as he comes up with new ideas, meets deadlines and solves problems.

A videogame producer is in charge of a game’s development from beginning to end. Day says, “All producers have to be designers, at least a little bit.” Another part of Day’s job is getting things done on time and within budget. “We have to create a product before a certain date, and it takes work to get there.” Sometimes that can be a challenge. Problems come up often when he’s working on a game, and in his fast-paced industry, missing a deadline is not allowed.

In his job, Day answers to many people who are expecting high-quality games. That’s a lot of responsibility, but Day believes these demands help him do his job better. Part of the excitement for him is not just playing a game, but also being able to share it with others.

“With a finished product, it’s really great to finally be able to sit down with my friends and family, and say, ‘Look, this is what I’ve been doing all this time. Let’s play it together.’”

1As a kid, John Day .

A. lacked imagination

B. didn’t do well in his lessons

C. was crazy about videogames

D. got his first PC as a birthday present

2What can we know about Day’s father according to the passage?

A. He was very strict with Day.

B. He had a big influence on Day.

C. He was in support of Day’s hobby.

D. He expected Day to be a businessman.

3What does Paragraph 5 mainly talk about?

A. How to produce a videogame.

B. What a videogame producer does.

C. The importance of job experience.

D. The challenge of balancing the budget.

4What does Day think of his job?

A. Boring. B. Easy.

C. Well-paid. D. Enjoyable.
