26、Football: Designing the Beautiful Game
Whether you are a crazy fan or sideline supporter, visitors to this exhibition will enjoy discovering the amazing design stories behind the world’s beautiful game.

The exhibition explores the story behind football, showing how design has been used to push the game to new limits. Take a journey through over 500 objects, films and interviews in sporting performance, equipment development and stadium design, and involve yourself in the stories of clubs and game legends(传奇) including Messi, Pelé, George Best and Diego Maradona.
Held by the Design Museum and the National Football Museum in Manchester, the show displays the master planning of the world’s most significant football stadiums, the design innovation used in today’s equipment, how the graphic design of team badges(徽章) and posters shapes a club’s identity and how grassroots’ efforts are pushing the sport’s commercialization.

28、The term “ classical” is used for the literature of any language in a period notable for the excellent quality of its writer’s works. 【1】. While other literary efforts come and go ,some literature, because of its high quality, stands the test of time.
In the fall of 2016, I chose to take a new course for one year that focuses on classical literature from all around the world. 【2】
Classical literature opens up a perspective(观察问题的视角) on different worlds and history. Books like “Gone with the Wind”,” A tale of Two Cities”, “ War and Peace”, etc., place a tale(故事) of history and friendship into the times that they describe. I also gain much historical knowledge because many stories are based on real history. 【3】Reading classical novels has improved my vocabulary and writing skills because writers from the past have unique styles of writing. I especially enjoy Shakespeare’s plays like “ Hamlet” and “ A Midsummer Night’s Dream”. 【4】 His works have also taught me some old English and grammar.
Reading classical literature also teaches me life lessons. These books are like a mirror through which I can see the lives of others. 【5】Books like “Oliver Twist”, “Moby Dick”, “1984”, “Animal Farm”, etc, allow me to learn a lot from their characters. They also helped me develop my own personality.
A．Most of the teachers graduated from Top colleges.
B．I have learned a few words he created which are still used now.
C．During the year I studied the works of great thinkers and writers.
D．It is also a term used to note that something is worth remembering
E．“Of Study” by Francis Bacon has changed the way I think about studying.
F．I can make myself better by comparing their good acts and their bad points.
G．Studying history becomes more interesting when I look at the past through the characters in these stories.
29、Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a trunk.
I took the trunk to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice (临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (计价器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said, “I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I owe you?” she asked.
“Nothing.” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held on to me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman moments of joy.”
【1】What is the probable meaning of the underlined word “a trunk” in paragraph 3?
A．a walking stick
B．a pet dog
C．a passport
D．a suitcase
【2】Why did the old woman choose to ride through the city?
A．Let the driver earn more money.
B．Reach the destination on time.
C．Show she was familiar with the city.
D．See some places for the last time.
【3】Why didn’t the taxi driver charge the old woman?
A．Because he shut off the meter by mistake.
B．Because he wanted to do her a favor.
C．Because he had received her payment in advance.
D．Because he was in a hurry to take other passengers.
【4】What can we learn from the story?
A．Giving is always a pleasure.
B．An act of kindness can bring people joy.
C．People should respect each other.
D．People should help each other.

31、Direction: Fill in each blank with a proper word chosen from the box. Each word can be used only once. Note that there one word more than you need
When I was laid off (失业)in 2015, I told people about it the way any young people would: by tweeting it. My hope was that someone in my social network would point me to potential opportunities.
To my surprise, the"strategy"worked. Shortly after my public plea for employment, a friend of a friend sent me a Facebook message alerting me to a(an)【1】 in her department. Three rounds of interviews later, this acquaintance became my boss(She’s now one of my closest friends)
Think of the parents you see in the drop-off one(下客区)at school. Your favorite waiter. The other dog owners at the park. Sociologists(杜会学家) call these relationships “weak ties.” Not only can these connections affect our job prospects(前景) but they can also have a positive impact on our 【2】.
Maintaining the network of acquaintances can help you feel more 【3】. The desire to belong and form social attachments is a basic human need, alongside food, sleep and safety But once we hit 25, the number of friends we have 【4】 and becomes smaller over time, according to a 2016 study. As we get older and priorities【5】from after-work bowling league to after-school pickup, maintaining a loaded social 【6】 becomes less important. Staying socially engaged, then, is integral to personal fulfillment.
Besides, having at east a few acquaintances can connect us with a larger circle of people, which is fantastic news, say for job hunters. Even if our friends want to help us find a job, the weak ties are often the ones who 【7】 the job-search playing field.
Those acquaintances also provide us with a wider worldview. Regularly interacting with people who have different experiences than we do allows us to be more mindful of others' circumstances. This, in turn, 【8】 empathy(同感能力）
Still, casual friends have a lot to offer. Uncovering surprising tidbits(花边新闻) about the regular players in one’s life---【9】 that your neighbor is an accomplished dancer, for instance----can spice up your day.
So next time you see a friendly face when you're out and about, you might as well try to【10】 pleasantries(寒暄）.
