8、just delivered a memorized speech that I had labored over for months, and I was about to learn how the experts judged my performance. The polite audience leaned forward in their folding chairs. Silence fell across the room and the drum rolled in my mind.The contest organizer announced the third-plac

9、e winner. Alas, the name was not mine. Then the second, and once again it was not me. At last, the moment of truth came. Either I was about to be bathed in the warmth of victory or regretted the last several months spent preparing. While neither of these came to pass, my heart just sank.Losing is a

10、part of life, but it was an indescribable depression to drive 200 miles round trip, get up early on a freezing Saturday morning, and yet still finish fourth out of four contestants. After Lincoln lost the 1858 Illinois Senate race, he reportedly said, “I felt like the 12-year-old boy who stubbed his

11、 toe. I was too big to cry and it hurt too bad to laugh.” Oh yeah, I could relate.Months before the contest, I had spent hours in front of a computer and in libraries doing research for the Lincoln Bicentennial Speech Contest. As I read through several biographies, one idea stood out: Lincoln was ha

12、nded many sound defeats, but he never allowed them to permanently stop his spirit or ambition. I thought “failing successfully” was a very appropriate topic, given the many letdowns Lincoln experienced, and so this became the title of my speech.Never mind the lost prize money and praise I did gain a

13、 new perspective. Through learning about Lincoln, I discovered that I could fail successfully. Now, whenever Im faced with a failure, I remember what Lincoln said after his unsuccessful 1854 Senate race, “The path was worn and slippery. My foot slipped from under me, knocking the other out of the wa

16、d you last write a letter? Properly write one by hand? In a digital world, where sending a text or email is far more convenient than using snail mail, is the writing on the wall for traditional pen and paper? Well, some people claim that writing still has many benefits, so maybe its not time to ditc

17、h your ballpoint or fountain pen yet.These days, when people request things in writing, a typed, electronic document will be accepted. Doing this on a computer means it could be saved, edited, copied and sent via email. But crafting a handwritten document is unique: it requires planning and thought,

18、 and, as well as practising your handwriting, it helps you to remember spelling and punctuation.Some experts believe your brain benefits from using old-fashioned pen and paper. This is particularly relevant for students, where typing notes into a laptop is thought to lack the “tactile feedback (触觉反馈

19、)” to the brain that contact between pen and paper does. BBC Worklife website quotes Hetty Roessingh from the University of Calgary, who says that taking notes by hand involves cognitive engagement in summarising, paraphrasing, organising, concept and vocabulary mapping. Others agree that handwritin

20、g may boost fine motor skills in your hands and fingers.There are everyday benefits of using pen and paper too. Scribbling (匆忙书写) notes, shopping lists or messages on the back of an envelope can still be useful, quick and portable. But putting pen to paper in a letter to a friend or loved one can pr

21、obably have the most impact. Pen pal writer Katherine Moller told the BBC, “In a world where it is so easy to hop online to email or to send a fast text, it is so personal and so precious to know someone chose to turn off the virtual world to spend some time with you.”So, while digital skills remain

22、 important, dont write off your pens and pencils yet especially if your smartphone, tablet or laptop runs out of power.24The underlined word “ditch” in the first paragraph can be replaced by “_”.AabandonBpreserveCconductDemploy25Which of the following belongs to the features of writing by hand?AIt c

24、s, or messages saves time.CIt is quite convenient to communicate with others online.DWriting by hand is an important way to care about others.As new year approaches, crowds around the world may be expecting fireworks to light up the sky. But the fireworks could finally lose their appeal with the gro

25、wing use of drones (无人机) for light shows. One obvious example was drone light show in the opening ceremony of Tokyo Olympics.Ollie Howitt, a technician at SkyMagic, which used 300 drones to create a display for Londons new year celebration, said demand had increased substantially. She added that dro

26、nes were increasingly able to fly in greater density and for longer. Howitt also said there were benefits of drones, “They give out no pollutants, theyre reusable, and theres no fallout or that kind of thing. So in that sense they are a very sensible choice.”Robert Neff, the general manager at Merci

27、a Harbor, also said the decision to use a drone display at the harbor was down to a number of factors, including the impact of fireworks on animals from wildlife to the pets of boat owners. “Theyve often commented on how much suffering is caused to their pets by the fireworks,” he said.But not every

28、one agrees. Hans Rosling, a spokesperson from the British Fireworks Association said drones could also pose environmental problems. “Suggestions are that drones have less of an impact on the environment, but we have concerns about electrical demand and use of lithium (锂) batteries which are known no

29、t to be all that green,” he said. “The impact of firework use on the environment has been shown to be minor and very short-lived and recent studies have suggested that there is likely to be more pollution from a couple of cars driving to an event than caused by fireworks at an event.”And there are i

30、ssues with drone light displays, which need to receive specific safety approval from certain authorities. Some suggest the use of drones doesnt mean shutting off fireworks. The bangs of fireworks create a sound feeling that is hard to replace. Meanwhile, others prefer the chance to tell stories in t
