26、This is really a very fast game, the fastest I have seen so far this year. Both sides are fighting for the ball all the time. The crowd is loving every minute of it. They are shouting at the top of their voices.
Willis has the ball now. This is only his third game for Scotland, but he’s playing so well that it won’t be his last, I’m quite sure.
Willis passes the ball to Cotton. Cotton kicks it over the heads of the waiting Frenchmen, towards the goalmouth , but he’s too far away. Dupond picks it up easily, and throws it to Patou, out on the left.
France and Scotland still have one goal each, and there are only two minutes left of the game. But during that time, anything can happen. Patou kicks the ball across to Crozat. It’s. a beautiful kick, but Steven jumps and just stops the ball with the side of his head. But Meunier is there, he passes to Crozat, and Crozat, without waiting a second, puts the ball into the back of the goal. It takes everybody by surprise. I’ve never seen a goal like it.

27、In November, “NFT” was chosen as 2021's “Word of the Year” by Collins Dictionary. NFT is short for Non-Fungible Token. It is a “one-of-a-kind” property in the digital world that can be bought and sold like any other piece of property but has no tangible (可触摸的) form. Now, NFTs are becoming popular in the art world.
Unlike the traditional artworks that are made by hand and have their own special technique, digital arts can be copied and gained for free. But NFTs could provide a digital certificate (证明), showing the ownership of a unique virtual or physical artwork.
“In the digital world, you wouldn't know if something is a copy of something else because the copy is almost perfect. The NFT was the first to prove who owns this property,” said Pindar Wong, chairman of Internet financial infrastructure consultancy VeriFi.
Along with protecting ownership, NFTs allow the owner to get a payment each time his/her work is sold. The artwork itself still belongs to the owner, and the buyers can get limited rights to show the digital artwork. So whenever the NFTs are sold, each transaction (交易) can only be made with the owner.
“NFTs can ensure that owners, including artists or musicians, can have a part of the income from every transaction, which could encourage their creations,” said Sylvia Wang, a consultant at business-to-business platform ArtBiz Asia.
That's why many experts believe that NFTs can greatly change the art industry. According to the latest report, in the first half of 2021, the sales of NFT digital artworks reached $ 2.5 billion, an increase from just $13.7 million for the same period in 2020.
US artist Mike Winkelmann said that with the help of NFT technology, the art field has entered a new time. He created a digital work of art — Everydays: The First 5, 000 Days. In March, it was sold for $ 69 million.
【1】What is NFT?
A.A piece of artwork.
B.A kind of property.
C.A useful dictionary.
D.A copy of something else.
【2】What can we know about digital artworks?
A.They have tangible forms.
B.They hardly have any value.
C.They are very easy to copy.
D.It's easy to identify their owners.
【3】What does Sylvia Wang agree with?
A.NFTs could largely benefit owners.
B.The creator can't get paid for digital works.
C.NFTs have the chance to replace real artworks.
D.Buyers have no right to use the digital artworks.
【4】What could be a suitable title for the text?
A.The Charm of Digital Art
B.Hot Words of the Year 2021
C.Digital Art Changing the Art Field
D.NFT Creating Value in Digital Art
28、When I was in middle school, I met my English literature teacher, who was new to teaching. She was only 22 but she always did her best to make learning fun. She would give us a personalized mini notebook for every student’s birthday. I had this simple small notebook. She had filled the first couple pages telling me how much she loved having me as a student, how far she knew I would go, and other affirmations. It seemed small but for a 13-year-old child who had a hard home life, it made all the difference.
In my junior year of high school, in one English class, we were discussing a story when one student called Carl made a point. The teacher was dismissive(不以为然的)and said Carl was wrong. The next day, the teacher said he was wrong to dismiss what Carl said so quickly. “Let’s take a look at that again.” After the discussion, it became clear that Carl’s point was indeed unreasonable, but I was impressed the teacher publicly owned his mistake and did what he should.
When I was in grade one, my mother gave me one really awful haircut. On the first day back at school, the kids picked on me horribly, so I ran out and hid. The headmaster found me and took me back. He asked me to wait outside for a minute while he talked to the class. The next day, we had an assembly (展会) with the entire school and he walked up on the stage with his head shaved completely bald and criticized the bad-mannered behavior.
Twenty years later, I ran into him at the local college. I thought he didn’t remember me, but he said my name and the event. The man was and is a hero in my eyes.

29、It all started with a post on social media. One day, when returning home from the grocery store, 25-year-old Polica felt it her duty to help the elderly in her neighbourhood to practise safer social distance during the Covid-19 period. With this in mind, she reached out to her friends through the social media. Unexpectedly, many answered her post, expressing their interest to volunteer. Soon one of her friends Leo joined Polica. They decided to start a project called Invisible Hands Deliver.
Just two days later, they set up a website and had it running. This site allowed the elderly and other at-risk people to make requests for groceries and medicines to be delivered to their homes. The web page also included a call for volunteers, which received over 2,000 sign-ups within the first five days. Soon after, college student Haly came on board, helping Polica and Leo to organize the growing network of volunteers from all over the city. As the situation became worse, Invisible Hands Deliver saw increasing support. Besides volunteering to send groceries for free, they also translated the Invisible Hands flyers(传单)into over a dozen languages, making them able to reach out to more citizens.
All volunteers obey strict safety guidelines, including wearing latex(乳胶)gloves and cleaning shopping bags before the delivery. And volunteers have been instructed to leave the bags of groceries outside doors. Despite keeping the physical distance, volunteers make an effort to connect with the old people, chatting with them from the other side of the door.
Following its success in the city, the organization has spread to other areas. Their acts of kindness have also inspired similar networks to rise worldwide. Invisible Hands Deliver has shown that one is never too young to make a difference. In a time when Covid-19 has forced people apart, the young use technology to bridge the gap, bringing people together.
