The incident took place, believe it or not, on the playground. I was something of a football player, but I had
never been a good player, far less a great one. I played for the mere physical joy that I got out of the game, but I
played with a will, and put my whole heart into the game. The result was that, though I had plenty of energy and
enthusiasm, I was never picked for my college team.
Let me confess frankly that this was only because there was another player in the same position who happened
to be much better than me. I considered myself the better sportsman, but he was certainly the greater player. So I
never grumbled or complained. I was content to wait and bide my time.
And at last my patience was rewarded. It was for me a very special day. Our team had shot up into the final
and was meeting its rival(竞争对手). Our starplayer sent word at the last moment that he was ill and he could not
take the field. Imagine the astonishment in the college camp! The thought was that the game was as good as lost,
and so also, I confess, did I for this player was our trump card(王牌): That is what everybody always said.
However, something had to be done, and that something had to be myself! The captain called me up almost
apologetically for having failed to recognize my greatness before, and—there I was, on the playground, greeted by
the cheers of my friends, and a few jeers from those who had little faith in my prowess.
I can tell you that I played like a demon(魔鬼). I was here, there and everywhere—now leading the attack,
now falling back to help the defense. It was indeed a thrilling moment in my life. For a time, I was the center of all
attention, the object of universal applause, and “the observed of all observers”. And, believe it or not, it was I who
put in the winning goal. It marked the top of a glorious day. Even now I look back on the episode with unmixed
pleasure and satisfaction.

Cities are difficult to navigate ( 导航) at the best of times, but for people with disabilities they can be like
courses with hurdles and bring inconvenience to disabled people.
A UK national travel survey found that adults with mobility difficulties took 39% fewer trips than those with
no disability in 2017. Yet that could change as devices and cities grow smarter. Assistive tech is playing a big role
in the transformation. The global value of the industry is expected to increase from $14 billion in 2015 to $30.8
billion in 2024, according to Zion Market Research.
One of the things that could transform lives is a smart walking stick designed by engineers from Young Guru
Academy (YGA) in Turkey. The WeWalk stick has a sensor that detects hurdles above chest level and uses
vibrations (振动) to warn the user. It can be paired with a smartphone to help navigation, and is connected with a
voice assistant and Google Maps.
Ceylan, who has been blind since birth, says that connecting the stick to the Internet of Things and smart city
solutions makes it user-friendly. “As a blind person, when I am at the Metro station I don’t know which is my
exit ... I don’t know which bus is approaching ... which stores are around me. That kind of information can be
provided with the WeWalk,” he says.
“The smart walking stick is really an exciting initiative that will make a huge difference to some people,” says
Anna Lawson, the director of the Center for Disability Studies at Leeds University in the United Kingdom. “But
they are very expensive ... they’re not going to be available to the vast majority of disabled people,” she added.
Bryan Matthews, a lecturer at the Institute for Transport Studies at the University of Leeds, shares the
concerns about cost. He says there should also be a focus on inclusive design, and anything that helps people
navigate their environment is positive.
8. What does “that” in the second paragraph refer to?
A. The survey that compared adults’ mobility.
B. The smart industry that is booming.
C. The fact that the disabled traveled less.
D. The role that the assistive tech plays.
9. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about?
A. The working principles of the WeWalk stick.
B. The introduction of the WeWalk stick inventors.
C. The transformation caused by the WeWalk stick.
D. The benefits brought about by the WeWalk stick.
10. What’s the purpose of quoting Ceylan?
A. To show the value of smart tech.
B. To urge more attention to the blind.
C. To increase the potential market share.
D. To encourage tech research and development.
11. What is the disadvantage of the WeWalk stick?
A. Confusing instructions. B. Poor navigation.
C. Inclusive designs. D. High prices.

Avoid the supermarket shelves piled with cheese, cupcakes and pies. That is the message of an analysis that
found these items are the worst when looking at both nutritional and environmental impacts of thousands of food
and drink products sold in the UK and Ireland. So far, most studies have focused on the environmental impact of
goods such as beef or beans, rather than tofu and other products that shoppers often buy. Where research has
focused on such products, it has usually been for a small number of them.
In a bid to bridge the gap, Micheal Clark at the University of Oxford and his colleagues analyzed more than
57,000 food and drink products sold in the UK and Ireland. The team took the ingredients ( 成份) data from eight
retailers (零售商), including major supermarkets Tesco and Sainsbury’s. However, precise figures on how much of
each ingredient is in each product were only available for around a tenth of them. To estimate the rest, Clark and his
colleagues trained an algorithm ( 算 法 ) on the known products and used it to predict the composition of the
unknown ones. Finally, the team linked all the ingredients to an existing database of environmental impacts,
including emissions (排放), land use and water stress.
The results may come as no surprise: meat, fish and cheese products had highest environmental impact while
fruit, vegetables, bread and sugary drink products had the lowest burden. Clark admits that none of this is exciting,
given what we already knew from past research. “What is important is that you can start getting these impact
estimates for products that people are purchasing, which then has a lot of effects,” he says.
One of those is eco-lables, which can help consumers to make greener choices. However, retailers have
struggled in the past with the challenge of the large number of food. Clark is thinking about how to eventually turn
the data into an app that could be used either by shoppers or by retailers wanting to reduce their environmental
impact. “We’ve made that information available in a way that means people can start making informed decisions,”
he says.
12. What is the purpose of Clark’s study?
A
.
To solve the environmental problems with some products.
B. To point out the mistakes of the previous research.
C. To focus on the important ingredients data from retailers.
D. To estimate the environmental impact of frequently-bought products.
13. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A
.
The process of Clark’s study. B. The result of Clark’s study.
C. The significance of Clark’s study. D. The limitation of Clark’s study.
14. What can be inferred about Clark’s study from Paragraph 3?
A. Surprising. B. Worrying. C. Meaningful. D. Doubtful.
15. Which of the following products should people buy according to Clark’s study?
A. Nutritious food like beef and eggs. B. Green food like carrots and bananas.
C. Healthy food like fish and tofu. D. Fresh food like milk and chicken
