21、Imagine a mass of floating waste is two times the size of the state of Texas. Texas has a land area of more than 678 000 square kilometers. So it might be difficult to imagine anything twice as big.
All together, this mass of waste flowing in the North Pacific Ocean is known as the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch. It weighs about 3 500 000 tons. The waste includes bags，bottles and containers—plastic products of all kinds.
The eastern part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch is about l 600 kilometers west of California. The western part is west of the Hawaiian Islands and east of Japan. The area has been described as a kind of oceanic desert，with light winds and slow moving water currents. The water moves so slow that garbage from all over the world collects there.
In recent years，there have been growing concerns about the floating garbage and its effect on sea creatures and human health. Scientists say thousands of animals get trapped in the floating waste，resulting in death or injury. Even more die from a lack of food or water after swallowing pieces of plastic. The trash can also make animals feel full，lessening their desire to eat or drink.
The floating garbage also can have harmful effects on people. There is an increased threat of infection of disease from polluted waste，and from eating fish that swallowed waste. Divers can also get trapped in the plastic.
Its existence first gained public attention in l997. That was when racing boat captain and oceanographer Charles Moore and his crew sailed into the garbage while returning from a racing event. Five years earlier，another oceanographer learned of the trash after a shipment of rubber duckies got lost at sea. Many of those toys are now part of the Great Pacific Ocean Garbage Patch.
In August，2009，a team from the University of California，San Diego became the latest group to travel to it. They were shocked by the amount of waste they saw. They gathered hundreds of sea creatures and water samples to measure the garbage patch’s effect on ocean environment.

22、 This past January, Lucy Liu reached a milestone in her art career(事业). The world-class actor, director and visual artist presented her work titled "Unhomed Belongings" in a museum exhibition for the first time.
Liu has been making art since she was a teenager and still sticks to a consistent studio practice alongside her work as an actress and director. She got her start while growing up in Queens in the 1980s, wandering New York City streets with a camera in hand. Her first artworks were photographs. After taking a class at New York Studio School, she turned to painting. "I felt like I wasn't able to express fully what I wanted with the photograph," Liu explained.
With painting, she discovered that her work didn’t have to be realistic or exacting, or meet certain expectations. "Everyone has a different format for how they want to show what they are thinking about, or what they are seeing to the audience," he said. "I just had to let go of the audience and just started thinking about what I wanted to see." Over time, Liu has also experimented with sculpture, silkscreen and textiles. She looks up to artists like Willem de Kooning, Agnes Martin and Robert Frank, but she feels that her lack of a traditional art-school background has helped her to naturally grow and experiment as an artist, which helps a lot to set her apart from other artists.
Much of Liu's work traces(追溯)back to her childhood. "Because we were an immigrant family and I am first-generation, I always had this imbalance of belonging," she explained. "I think at first it was the language barrier, not speaking English, but then it started becoming about how I look." Art, she explained, became a way to reflect on her younger self. "I think that art helps evaluate some of the psychology of yourself as a child, and to throw light upon some things you may never have understood," she said.
【1】What was the milestone for Lucy Liu?
A.Her first film as an actress. B.Her work as a famous director.
C.The exhibition of her painting. D.Her art works of photographs.
【2】Why does Liu prefer painting to photography?
A.She wants to study something new. B.She wants to better express herself.
C.She wants to promote her acting career. D.She doesn't want to photograph on the street.
【3】What does Liu think makes her different from other artists?
A.Her acting career. B.Her identity as an immigrant.
C.Her experience in photography. D.Her lack of serious art education.
【4】What can we know about Liu?
A.She is a pioneer in painting. B.Art helps her understand the world.
C.She had a carefree childhood. D.She had no difficulty acquiring English.
23、FIFA World Cup 2022 is under way in Qatar and it again sets off a football wave in the whole world. Recently, CNN has released a new documentary, Super Eagles 96 to help us recall a glorious football team story. When Nigeria’s national football team competed at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, few thought it could stand shoulder-to-shoulder with countries like Argentina and Brazil. But the team, lovingly nicknamed the Super Eagles, stunned the footballing world by winning the gold medal.
The documentary by filmmaker Yemi Bamiro, shows a brief but important moment in Nigerian history. The Super Eagles team was coached by Dutchman Jo Bonfrere, but it’s another Dutch coach Clemens Westerhof who is widely credited for much of the team’s success. Before Westherhof, Nigeria had never qualified for a World Cup before. Under Westerhof, the team worked hard to overcome its mixed fortunes and finally won the World Cup. “The Super Eagles are superheroes, ”Bamiro told CNN. “Their winning makes the whole country proud especially in those hard times. ”
Though their training and living conditions were terrible, their Olympic journey fancinated audiences. Nigeria first made it to the quarterfinals, beating Mexico 2-0. Though losing to Brazil earlier in the tournament, Nigeria beat the four-time World Cup-winning nation 4-3 in the semi-final, before pulling off a historic 3-2 win in the final over an Argentina team that featured international stars including Hernan Crespo and Claudio Lopez.
For Bamiro, the story of the team was impossible to tell without explaining the country’s turbulent politics at that time, leaving the whole nation at a mess. “It’s a big country but only football unites Nigerians together, “recalled Bamiro. He believed the victory was not just a win for the team, but a win for the country. For a brief moment, Nigerians were able to forget their troubles and celebrate in unity. “It’s a story about overcoming challenges, achieving something that no one expected them to achieve, ”he said.
