15、n. D. The Special and the Ordinary.BSteven Stein likes to follow garbage trucks.

16、ing is that one of Steins jobs is defending an industry behind the plastic shopping bag.Americans use more than 100 billion thin film plastic bags every year. So many end up in tree branches or along highways that a growing number of cities do not allow them at checkouts. The bags are prohibited in

17、some 90 cities in California, including Los Angeles.

24、king pancakes. She suddenly heard the church (教堂) bells ring, signaling the beginning of the Shrove Tuesday service. Realizing that she was going to be late for church, she raced out the door still wearing her apron (围裙) and headscarf and holding her frying pan (锅) with a pancake in it. Olney women

25、continue this tradition more than 500 years later.In 1950, a person of Liberal wanted his town to join in Olney Pancake Race. He made some phone calls to Olney to set up a friendly competition, and the people of Olney accepted the challenge. The rules are simple. Racers must wear the traditional hea

26、dscarf and apron. They have to flip (抛) the pancake in the air so that it flips and lands back in the pan on the other side. After the race, there are Shrove Tuesday church services. Then Liberal and Olney connect through a video call to compare race times and announce a winner.In both towns, the ra

27、ces have grown into larger festivals. Olneys festival is an all-day event starting with a big pancake breakfast. Liberals festival lasts four days and includes a parade, a great show, and eating competitions.Although the womens race is still the main event, both towns now hold races for boys and gir

28、ls of all ages. Emma Evans, 14, was the winner of her age groups race in Liberal last year.

32、can deny that he hasnt earned it either. Hes broken the records of greats like Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson. Hes a talent (天才).Professional athletes like LeBron give their lives to their sport to training, traveling, and pushing themselves to the limit. And while their lives may seem glamorous,

33、think about this: Athletes face injuries that can be not only career-ending but also life-changing. In fact, many retired (退休的) athletes have long-term health problems because of how hard they push on their bodies. Retired New York Jets player Wesley Walker said that he suffered so much pain as a re

34、sult of playing football that today he can hardly open a water bottle.The toll ( 代价) a professional athletes career takes on his or her body means more than a lifetime of pain (and medical bills); it also means a short career. Athletes need pay that will carry them past the 5 to 15 years they are ab

35、le to play.Without the show stopping performances of stars like Serena Williams and Stephen Curry, many jobs wouldnt exist. Sports reporters, stadium workers, cheerleaders, and coaches are among those who can thank the professional sports industry for their employment.It may seem unfair that athlete

36、s get paid to play a game, but remember who they are really playing for: us. Were the ones who fill stadiums in rain and snow to watch their games, who crowd around the television to cheer them on, and who feel immeasurable joy when our team wins.
