B A June storm dumped six inches of rain over Columbia in Missouri with little warning — causing floodwaters from rivers to burst the banks and overflow zones to be turned into ponds. When 15-year-old Dominic Viet and 16-year-old Joseph Diener passed a basketball court that had turned into a pool, they heard the terrified shouting of a young woman desperately trying to keep her head above water under the force of a current. The boys had seen the young woman swimming with a friend there before, but it was now obvious that she was drowning. “The first thing that came into my mind was to get into the water,” Dominic told CNN. “We didn’t have time to think. Her head was barely above the water and we could see her sinking more down every second. We didn’t think about the risks. We had to get her out.” Lifting her up onto their shoulders, Dominic and Joseph got her ashore, where emergency services arriving at someone else’s call performed first aid and rushed her to the hospital. The fire department will honor the two boys with a “Citizen Life Safety Award”. Assistant Fire Chief Jerry Jenkins described the boys’ act as heroic, as did Dominic’s mom, who had been calling her son for some time before and was growing nervous. She sent her husband to check on his position, but when he arrived, he saw ambulances and fire trucks from the call that was meant to rescue the young woman. “I thought of the worst. He was on a bike and people weren’t paying attention and my fear was that he was going to pull up and see our son on the ground,” said Dominic’s mom. “But then I got a text from Dominic saying ‘Coning home soon, just saved a woman’s life, Mom.’” “Floodwaters are no conditions to swim in. There can be sewage (污水) runoff, loose chemicals, downed power lines charging the current with electricity, or pieces of wood, metal, or brick, etc.” warned Jerry Jenkins. 24. What was the two boys' first reaction upon hearing the woman’s shout? A. They were too terrified to remove. B. They performed first aid on her. C. They called emergency services. D. They risked their own lives to save her. 25. Which of the following words can best describe the two boys? A. Helpful and brave. B. Humorous and polite. C. Generous and molest. D. Ambitious and gifted. 26. What message does Jerry Jenkins mainly try to convey in the last paragraph? A. It is quite necessary to learn to swim. B. Floodwaters have various potential dangers. C. It is rather unpopular to swim in floodwaters. D. Knowing life-saving skills is of great importance. 27. What can be the best title for the text? A. A Terrible Storm B. A Special Award C. A Drowning Woman D. Two Teenage Heroes C The 90-minute long game involves two goals, black and white checkered balls, goalkeeper, and no hand use. This sport, of course, is soccer or football, as the majority of the rest of the world says. It’s confusing that some countries call this sport “football” while Americans and Canadians say “soccer”, but apparently the British are mostly to blame. The name confusion is actually thanks to British universities in the early 1800s who tried standardizing various sports games that had different rules and regulations to differentiate between them, according to a paper by Stefan Szymanski, a professor of sports economics at the University of Michigan. Rugby, formerly known as “rugby football” or “rugger”, is a translation of “football” where you can use your hands. Soccer, originally “association football” or “asoccer”, is the traditional translation of “football” where people don’t use their hands. People in England started shortening the names by dropping the “association” part of the phrase as well as the “a” in “asoccer”, per Szymanski’s paper. If your head hurts from thinking about this, prepare to have your mind blown by these things you probably never thought about — until just now. Now comes the complexity: in 1869, Rutgers and Princeton colleges held the first traditional, recorded, football game using a unique combination of rules from both rugby and soccer, creating what we know as “American football” and what other countries refer to as “gridiron”. Thanks to the popularity of American football, soccer players in America keep to “soccer” to help differentiate themselves, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica. If the name “soccer” stuck in Britain, and if Americans came up with a better one for American football, there would be much less confusion. So why did the “football” short kind of “association football” become more popular than “soccer” in England anyway? Originally, American influence on Britain during World War II made “soccer” the popular term in England before the 1980s, The Atlantic reports. Once the sport became more popular in the United States around that time, the British stopped using “soccer”. Szymanski’s p
