This little girl has big baseball dreams. Hailey Dawson, a 7-year-old girl who uses a 3-D printed hand, wants to break the world record for the number of ceremonial first pitches(投,掷) at every major League Baseball (MLB) stadium- and teams are lining up to let her in. Dawson has Poland Syndrome(波兰综合征) that caused her to be born without the three middle fingers of her right hand.
Hailey Dawson throws out the first pitch using a 3-D printed hand at a Baltimore Orioles Game in 2015. Dawson has a 3-D printed “flexy” hand, which allows her to write and even play t-ball with her dominant right hand(惯用的右手). Dawson has worn the ‘flexy” hand since she was four, which is controlled by fishing wire. She has about 6 different hands for different purposes.
Her condition hasn’t stopped the sporty girl from longing to hold the Guinness World Record for the most number of first pitches and it looks like the MLB will help her make that happen. She’s already thrown the first pitch at two Major League games. “ Maybe she can throw one out in every Major League ballpark,” Dawson’s mom told SportTechie.com, “ That’s what I’m going to work on this summer.”
When Bleacher Report posted a video about Dawson wanting to throw the first pitch at every ballpark, several Major League teams enthusiastically asked how to get her contact information so that she could come to their stadium.
More than half of the remaining baseball teams have already reached out to try to schedule Dawson at a game, including the Chicago Cubs, Detroit Tigers, the Minnesota Twins, the Pittsburgh Pirates, the Florida Mariners, the San Diego Padres, the Oakland A’s and the San Francisco Giants. Even non-Major League teams are asking Dawson to come to their stadium, like Florida Gators, a college team, and the Sacramento River Cats, a minor league team.
1.Hailey Dawson, a 7-year-old girl, _______.
A. was born with disabilities B. is a famous baseball player

2.What can we know about Dawson’s “ flexy” hand?
A. It has six different functions. B. It is flexible enough.
C. It limits her hand’s movement. D. It didn’t match Dawson well at first.
3.According to Paragraph 3, we know that _______.
A. Dawson’s mom is her baseball coach
B. Dawson is a loyal fan of Major League games
C. Cawson’s mom doesn’t support Dawson’s baseball dreams
D. Dawson’s disability doesn’t stop her desire for holding the Guinness World Record
4.What do some Major League teams want to do after watching Dawson’s video?
A. They want to accept her as their player.
B. They want to employ her as their coach.
C. They want to welcome her to their stadium.
D. They want to hold the Guinness World Record.
5.It can be inferred that Hailey Dawson’s baseball dreams _______.

Mo Yan's Nobel Prize in Literature soon aroused public curiosity of the 57-year-old Chinese writer: Why was it he that was favored by the Swedish Academy? Chinese media seemed to be 36as some journalists were reported to be on their way overnight to Gaomi City, Shandong, Mo's 37 where he stayed with his family.
Born in 1955 into a rural family, Mo 38out of school and became a farmer when he was a(n) 39. He joined the military and devoted himself to 40 after Chinese literary circles started rethinking deeply the Cultural Revolution.
Mo's novel "Big Breasts & Wide Hips" tells a story of a mother who struggled and suffered 41 and tangled (缠结的) fates with Chinese people in the 20th century. His more recent work "Frog" more directly 42 China's one-child family policy, which helped 43 the country's population explosion 44 brought tragedies to farmers in the past 60 years.
"I think the reason why I could win the45is that my works present lives with unique Chinese 46 , and they also tell stories from a viewpoint of 47 human beings, which goes beyond differences of nations and races," Mo said to Chinese journalists. Mo also said many 48 arts originated from his hometown, such as clay sculpture, paper cuts, traditional new-year paintings, have 49 and influenced his novels.
Mo's prize may give powerful encouragement to the country's writers as the more 50 of Chinese lives their works are, the more possible they 51 as a world literature.
As the world's fast-developing country with a long history, China will 52 meet conflicts with western civilizations.__53_, the country faces internally a wide gap between the rich and the poor, 54 environment pollution and an aging population. Paying more attention to such 55 , Chinese writers may create more works that record the nation's journey to rejuvenation(复兴).With more Chinese writers like Mo, the world could learn a more real China. Perhaps, this is another reason for the Swedish Academy's choice. (words:338)
