22、LETHBRIDGE SPORTS HALL OF FAME
Lethbridge Sports Hall of Fame is a non-profit organization comprised of members from the community who remember, recognize, and celebrate achievements of Lethbridge and area athletes and builders. Here are some of our 2020 nominees (提名者).
ATHLETE — JOLENE WATSON
Jolene Watson’s fierce efforts on the soccer pitch (球场) carried her all the way from Lethbridge to Oklahoma, where she carved out a record-breaking university career. Growing up in Lethbridg, she stood out on the pitch from early in her life as a three-time MVP of the Lethbridge City Select team from 1993 to 1996.
BUILDER — EUNICE DAVID
For nearly half a century, Eunice David has been the face of figure skating in Lethbridge. She is a hands-on volunteer, literally, as her introduction to the sport was helping to sew costumes when her children joined the Lethbridge Skating Club in the early 1970s. Within two years, she was elected to the club’s board of directors and had served the club for much of the next 37 years.
BUILDER — MARY DYCK
Mary Dyck’s passion for the spirit of sport has inspired her to make sure that spirit is accessible for as many others as possible. A university volleyball player, Dyck transferred to the University of Lethbridge in 1980. To stay involved while sitting out a year because of transfer regulations, she took a spot as an assistant coach, which motivated a passion that has carried her through nearly 40 years of coaching and organizing.

23、Chinese people love food made of flour, whether it be dumplings, or flatbread. In the hands of skilled artisans (手艺人), flour is made into lovely models of people or animals to be enjoyed and played with, which brings a unique kind of pleasure. This art form is called dough figurine (面塑). Among the various art styles of dough figurines, Beijing’s Dough Figurine Lang is a unique folk art, which is filled with the rich history and customs of the capital city. Their delicate and lovely handicrafts are storytellers of old and new Beijing. In 2008, it was included in the list of national intangible cultural heritage.
It was created by Lang Shao’an. Most of the dough figurines are animals and characters from legends, historical stories, and local operas. The finished product is either put at the end of a thin stick, or on a table for display. Some are mostly for children to eat or play with, with simple forms and vivid decorations, while some are delicate pieces of artwork for display only. For this reason, during the making process, they are often mixed with additives (添加剂) to prevent them from breaking up, being eaten by insects or growing moldy. Over the course of his long career, Lang Shao’an developed a set of skilled fingers with an elegant artistic sense.
Like most of the other intangible cultural heritage handicrafts in China, Dough Figurine Lang does not get as much attention from the public. Many young people are unwilling to take the time to master a skill that does not make money, which has led to a decline in the number of those who are devoted to the handicraft. Good handicrafts need the devotion of artisans from one generation to another.
【1】What is special about Dough Figurine Lang?
A.It reflects Beijing’s culture.
B.It is created by many famous artists.
C.It shows people’s lifestyles and beliefs.
D.It is popular with both tourists and the locals.
【2】Why do artisans add additives to dough figurine products?
A.To make dough figurines taste good.
B.To keep colors brighter and last longer.
C.To help shape dough into various forms.
D.To better preserve the finished products.
【3】What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To call on people to master a skill.
B.To appeal to people to value this folk art.
C.To teach people ways to appreciate the handicraft.
D.To persuade people to buy dough figurine products.
24、Each Indian tribe had a different language. Many Indians never learned any language except their own. Do you know how Indians from different tribes talked to each other? They had two ways to talk without sound. One way was by sign language. Another way is by signals.
Sign language is a way of talking by using signs. Indians used sign language when they met strangers. In this way, they could find out whether the stranger was a friend or an enemy. In Indian sign language, signs were made with the hands. One sign meant "man". Another meant "horse".
To tell the time of day when something happened, an Indian pointed to the sky. He showed where the sun had been at the time.
Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away. To make signals, an Indian might use a pony. He might use a blanket. Or he might use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows.
To signal that he had seen many animals, an Indian rode his pony in a large circle. Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to hide. This means that there was danger.
The blanket signal was visible from far away. An Indian held the corners of a blanket in his hands. Then he began to swing the blanket from side to side in front of him. An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket.
He could also send many signals with a mirror. He usually used the mirror to warn someone of danger. Or he attempted to get the attention of a person far away. But he also used it to send messages in code. Of course, mirrors could be used only when the sun was shining. At night, Indians used fire arrows for signaling.
Now you can see that Indians didn't need to learn each other's language. They could talk to one another by using signals or sign language.
【1】For signaling, an Indian held .
A. a blanket in front of him by the corners
B. the corners of a blanket and swang it in front of him
C. one side of the blanket and let someone else hold the other side
D. the blanket corners and ran from one side to the other
【2】An Indian used a mirror to .
A. warn someone of danger B. get the attention of someone far away
C. send messages in code D. all of the above
【3】The underlined word "pony" in the fourth paragraph probably means " ".
A. camel B. goat
C. horse D. donkey
