Juliana Hoogland is a blind basketball player at Zeeland Public Schools. And she has joined one of the school’s 【小题1】 (program) for the Special Olympics Unified Sports.

Last week as Juliana prepared to take a free throw, over 2,000 students were 【小题2】 (complete) silent. The silence was to help her hear where the net (球网) was. At the last moment, Juliana hit that shot (投篮), 【小题3】 made the other people go wild; their cheers were loud. “It was so moving to see her hit that shot in front of so many students,” said Juliana’s mom, who thanked the students for their support. She was proud of her daughter 【小题4】 making the shot.

Juliana was also excited. “I hardly 【小题5】 (expect) I would make it at first,” she said. “I can tell people that I can also be 【小题6】 (success).” Juliana wants to change 【小题7】common view that blind children can’t do what sighted (看得见) people do. She hopes she can encourage them to keep【小题8】 (try) whatever their difficulties are. Her mother said Juliana practiced for a long time 【小题9】 (have) a feel for the shot. It was a memorable day for those who saw a blind girl’s efforts and the schoolmates’ 【小题10】 (kind).

After 20 days of world-class sporting action, the 19th Asian Games concluded on October 8th in Hangzhou. As the biggest Asian Games in history 【小题1】 (feature) a record 12,417 athletes, the Hangzhou Asian Games witnessed 15 world and 28 Asian records being set in 481 medal events, again the highest ever. China 【小题2】 (rank) first in the medal table with 【小题3】 total of 383 medals, including 201 gold. So far, China 【小题4】 (top) the Asiad medal table 11 times in a row, ever since the 1982 Games in India.

Two short films in the closing ceremony demonstrated the athletic 【小题5】 (highlight) and touching moments during the Games, leaving audiences smiling 【小题6】 (tearful). The giant virtual torchbearer, 【小题7】 lit the main flame at the opening ceremony, made a surprise return 【小题8】 the stadium amid thunderous applause from the crowd.

Some competitions also served as Olympic qualifying events (预选赛), whose winners would proceed 【小题9】 (participate) in the coming Paris Olympics.

China’s 【小题10】 (commit) to a “green, smart, economical and ethical” approach to presenting a distinctly Chinese, uniquely Asian and spectacular Games paid off and the event won widespread praise from both the Olympic Council of Asia and the global community.

Many of the Chinese athletes 【小题1】 (compete) at the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games are benefiting 【小题2】 technological assistance from China’s space scientists and engineers. Before setting out for the Tokyo Gaines, dozens of athletes visited an area in the southwestern suburbs of Beijing that is home 【小题3】 a number of leading space technology organizations. During their stay, the athletes 【小题4】 (expose) to technologies 【小题5】 (normal) used in research and development of carrier rockets, missiles and unmanned planes, and 【小题6】 (listen) to suggestions from experts from the China Academy of Aerospace Aerodynamics.

China won 【小题7】 gold medal in the women’s quadruple sculls (四人双奖艇) with a world-record time in Tokyo. According to the engineer, wind tunnels are the most essential hardware in aerodynamic research. During the past few years, wind tunnels 【小题8】 (become) increasingly popular in Western countries, including the United States and Canada.

The academy’s tunnels have greatly helped Chinese athletes, some of 【小题9】 have won gold in Tokyo. But their 【小题10】 (achieve) also require a great deal of intense training and careful preparation.
