23、When Marco Polo travelled to Hangzhou, China 700 hundred years ago, never had he thought he'd be creating a job of social media ambassador in the 21st century in China.
On May 20, one lucky foreigner would be selected to become the modern-day Marco Polo, getting a free 15-day trip to the scenic city of Hangzhou in China, and rewarded $55,000 in the next year for working part-time to promote the city to the global audience. Five finalists from Australia, Romania, U.S., Switzerland and France were in the final race. They came from a pool of 700 applicants from around the world, carefully selected by the Hangzhou Tourism Commission on their familiarity with China, social media presence and adventurous spirit.
Located about 100 miles southwest to Shanghai, Hangzhou is home to 844 million population and among China’s richest cities as measures by per-capita GDP. Traditionally, Hangzhou is known for its charming West Lake, a UNESCO world heritage site with traditional Chinese stories and tales, and the Grand Canal, which travels from Hangzhou to Beijing and was a key route of transportation in ancient China. The city’s mild climate and charming environment drew 97 million tourists last year, contributing to 6.5% of the city’s GDP.
The lucky winner would start an all-expense-paid trip to Hangzhou, which, in addition to visits to tourist sites and tastings of delicious food, also would include a four-day ride along the Grand Canal and three evenings spent at a local resident’s home.
“It is in fact a part-time job. How you work that out efficiently is your problem,” Liam Bates, perhaps the strongest competitor because of his fluent Chinese, said. “We will see how hard it is to meet these numbers.”
【1】The purpose of Hangzhou choosing a social media ambassador is to ______.
A. keep Marco Polo in people’s memories

C. encourage more foreigners to speak Chinese

C. adventurous spirit D. excellent videos
【4】Which of the following might be the best title for this passage?
A. Hangzhou rewards international visitors to China
B. Liam Bates creates a dream job of social media ambassador

24、For several years, “fly on the wall” was Esther Ruth Mbabazi’s approach to photography. Be invisible. Don’t influence the scene. Then,in 2019, the 28-year-old Ugandan had an opportunity to do just the opposite.
That’s when Mbabazi learned of the Gulu for Women With Disabilities Union (GUWODU), a professional and social center in a small city in Uganda’s north. There, she partnered with seven women on a portrait series that was a celebration of individuality and personal expression. “I was tired of the images I was seeing out there, especially here in Uganda, where people with disabilities are robbed of their personalities,” said Mbabazi. “They’re photographed as people who can’t do anything. I didn’t want my images to look like that.”
Over one year, she made four trips to Gulu and photographed women she met, including a land mine survivor missing a leg, a deaf mother of four, and a blind musician. They posed in custom dresses, created by a Kampala-based designer, against backdrops (背景幕布) of art and handiwork they had made. When Mbabazi asked the women how they wanted to be seen, they told her: as capable, equal, Intelligent. In other words,the dignity that Ugandans with special needs often are denied.
Joyce Auma, 25, who uses wheelchair, chose a blue patterned top and skirt that contrasted beautifully with the vibrant green and blue backdrop. Another, Laker Irene Odwar, who lost her leg in a land mine at age 16, chose a pale blue blazer and a shirt with a smart silk scarf.
On her last trip to Gulu, Mbabazi delivered large, framed copies of the portraits to those who posed for them. As Mbabazi explains, “They said, ‘This shows me as I am in my full existence, my full body, as I am.’” Mbabazi hopes the photos will be exhibited publicly, to help change how the women are seen, and treated, by others.

25、It was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were . Every day, my husband and his brothers would go about the hard of trying to get water to the fields. If we didn’t see some rain soon, we would lose everything.
It was on this day that I learned the true lesson of sharing and a miracle﹙奇迹﹚. I was in the kitchen making lunch when I saw my six-year old son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He wasn’t walking as usual, but with a serious purpose. He was obviously walking with great effort, trying to be as as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the , he came running out again, toward the house.
Moments later he was once again walking in those slow purposeful steps towards the woods. He kept doing this for about an hour. Finally I decided to him on his journey.
He was cupping﹙使成杯形﹚ both hands in front of him as he walked, being very not to spill the water he held in them. Then I saw a tiny deer lying on the ground, suffering from dehydration(脱水), lift its head with great effort to lap up(舔食) the water cupped in my boy's hands.
When the water was , Billy jumped up to ran back to the house. I was there in front of him. His eyes just filled with . "I'm not wasting water" was all he said and I hugged him tightly.
As the tears that my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops… more drops… and more. I looked up at the sky. It was raining!
Some will probably say that this was nothing but a huge . All I can say is that the rain that came that day saved our farm, just like the actions of one little boy saved another.
