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.

10、 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). O

13、I can tell you that I played like a demon(魔鬼). I was here, there and everywherenow leading the attack, now falling back to help the defense. It was indeed a thrilling moment in my life.

18、ople.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

19、 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

20、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.

21、“As a blind person, when I am at the Metro station I dont know which is my exit . I dont know which bus is approaching . which stores are around me.

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

27、 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, M

28、icheal 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 Sainsburys. However, precise figures on how much of eac

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.

However, reta

32、ilers 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. “Weve made that information available in a way that

33、 means people can start making informed decisions,” he says.12What is the purpose of Clarks study?ATo solve the environmental problems with some products.BTo point out the mistakes of the previous research.CTo focus on the important ingredients data from retailers.DTo estimate the environmental impa

Heres her advice on how to host a stress-free holiday gathering without

37、 losing your mind. 17 The best way to avoid being exhausted is to be prepared.

38、days in advance.Pick a serving setup. Before you choose your menu, determine your serving style. 19 If youve got the space for it, a family-style meal where people sit around a table and food is passed on big plates can cut down on the need for complicated decorations. “Food can be part of the desig

39、n, so youre not going crazy with flowers or anything,” she says. Embrace a mixed menu. The pandemic has made takeout an option not only for family dinners, but also for entertaining, because many restaurants now offer specific holiday dinner dishes to take home. 20 “You can do a party with literally
