21、 A young female athlete in the Philippines recently won multiple gold medals for her school during a provincial sports despite not having proper running shoes.
Rhea Ballos, an 11-year old student of Salvacion Elementary School in Balasan, Iloilo, was only wearing bandages around her feet when she competed at the Iloilo Schools Sports Meet.
Facebook user Valenzuela posted images of the girl with her feet wrapped in brown plaster (石膏) bandages bearing the famous Nike logo. Ballos even wrote the word "NIKE" on the sides of her "shoes" to complete the "Nike running shoes" look. The bandages were tightly wrapped around her feet, creating a thin protective layer against the track.
While she was virtually (实质上) barefoot during the races, she was still able to defeat her opponents (对手) who all wore proper footwear intended for running. According to the post, Ballos bagged the top awards in the 400-meter dash, the 800-meter run, and the 1500-meter run in the inter-school sporting event held in Iloil, central Philippines.
When images of her "Nike" footwear were spread widely, Filipinos on social media showered her with praises for her dedication and character. Many noted that instead of wallowing in self-pity. she was even able to make light of the situation by drawing the Nike logo on her "running shoes."
Some of the commenters of Valenzuela's post expressed how the girl deserved to be recognized by Nike and that the brand should actually give her a new pair of real Nike shoes. It did not take long for Jeffery Cariaso, a famous coach, to take notice of Ballos' outstanding performance. He immediately made an effort to get in touch with the young track runner to help her.

22、 In Japan, where career opportunities for women are few, where divorce can mean a life of hardship, and where most female names are still formed using a word for child, a woman’s independence has always come at a steep price.
Notions of women’s liberation have never taken root among Japanese women. But with inadequate open conflict, the push for separate burials is quietly becoming one of the country’s fastest growing social trends. In a recent survey by the TBS television network, 20 percent of the women who responded said they hoped to be buried separately from their husbands.
The funerary revolt comes as women here annoy at Japan’s slow pace in providing greater equality between the sexes. The law, for example, still makes it almost impossible for a woman to use her maiden name after marriage. Meanwhile, divorce rates are low by Western standards, because achieving financial independence or even obtaining a credit card in one’s own name is an insurmountable obstacle for many divorced women. Until recently, society enforced restrictions on women even in death. Under Japan’s complex burial customs, divorced or unmarried women were traditionally unwelcome in most graveyards, where plots (小块土地) are still passed down through the husband’s family and descendants must provide maintenance for burial sites or lose them.
“The woman who wanted to be buried alone couldn’t find a graveyard until about 10 years ago,” said Haruyo Inoue, a sociologist of death and burial at Japan University. She said that graveyards which did not require descendants to maintain, in order to accommodate women, began appearing in around 1990. Today, she said that there are close to 400 of these cemeteries in Japan. That is just one sign of stirring among Japanese women, who are also pressing for the first time to change the law to be able to use their maiden names after marriage.
Although credit goes beyond any individual, many women cite Junko Mastubara, a popular writer on women’s issues, with igniting the trend to separate sex burials. Starting three years ago, Ms. Matsubara has built an association of nearly 600 women — some divorced, some unhappily married, and some determinedly single — who plan to share a common plot curbed out of an ordinary cemetery in the western suburb of Chofu.
【1】What is the passage mainly concerned with?
A.How to change Japan’s complex burial customs.
B.Japanese women’s efforts to win sex equality.
C.Social and governmental obligation in eliminating sex inequality.
D.How Japanese laws prevent Japanese women from being buried alone.
【2】From the fact that divorce can mean a life of hardship for Japanese women, we can infer that ________.
A.many Japanese women have a low social status
B.it’s an out-dated custom for Japanese women to be housewives
C.many Japanese women have a bad relationship with their husbands
D.many Japanese women live together with their husbands in perfect harmony
【3】Which of the following statements about the funeral revolt in Japan is NOT true?
A.More and more Japanese women prefer to be buried separately from their husbands.
B.Japan’s complex burial customs make it more difficult for Japanese women to be buried separately.
C.More and more Japanese women resort to divorce to win the victory of funeral revolt.
D.It comes as the result of Japanese women’s dissatisfaction with Japan’s slow pace in providing greater sex equality.
【4】The meaning of the word “ignite” in the last paragraph is ________.
A.to initiate
B.to reverse
C.to suggest
D.to strengthen
23、 The tropical islands of the Philippines have plenty of nice beaches where you can get that gold brown sun tan(口西黑),but there are only a few white sand or white coral beaches.
Pristine in Palawan
Palawan is the most popular destination for both tourists and locals of all ages and everybody comes for the white sand beaches. The beaches are long and wide and display the unique picture, where you can relax in a hammock(吊床)while having a fruity cocktail with the little umbrellas. What makes it striking is that you will also find plenty of dining opportunities along the beaches so that you won't starve.
Island of Barang in Dumaguete
This island has so many nice beaches where you will literally burn under the sun. You could practically walk around the whole island within a day on the beach alone. Once you travel from places such as Manila or Cebu, the biggest problem for those who would like to visit the Siquijor beaches and the island arises. The only way to Siquijor is via Dumaguete City in Negros Oriental, which fortunately has a domestic airport.
Bohols Treasures in Bohol
Bohol is not only famous for its Chocolate Hills, but it is one of the best places to go in the entire Visayas Region if you are looking for white sand beaches. While the beaches are so understated and Bohol is not crowded with tourists, the island of Bohol deserves its place.
White Sand in Boracay
While Palawan is something for families and people who love the peace of paradise, Boracay is the exact opposite. The appearance is still very similar with white sand beaches, but the lifestyle is all about parties. Boracay is mainly visited by young adults and students rather than families, making it distinguished from any other Philippine beach. Everything can be done in the beaches of Boracay and you can even sleep in the beaches after a night of partying.
