The National Football Museum has the world’s largest public collection of football objects and archives (档案), which is known as the Football Heritage Collection.

Below provides a brief summary of the individual collections that contribute to the Football Heritage Collection.

The People’s Collection
This rich and developing collection features objects donated to us by members of the public, footballers (and their families) and other people related to the game. The 6,000-strong collection features all kinds of items.
Bolton Wanderers and Preston North End Collections

For many runners, a marathon can often be a challenge—but sometimes what gets a runner through the tough 26.2 miles is looking out into the crowd and seeing his or her loved one holding up a sign and shouting words of encouragement. For one mom, though, her loved one was a bit more hands-on.
While running the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon in Salt Lake City, Courtney Rich, a self-taught baker and mother of two, was beginning to run out of energy just yards from the end when she was suddenly joined by her 10-year-old daughter, Avery.
The touching moment, caught on video and posted on social media, shows Avery running to her mother’s side to-support her as she approached the end of the race. Rich’s face lit up when Avery joined her and helped her cross the finish line.
Rich later said in the video’s caption that being joined by her daughter to finish the race was “a moment I hope neither of us ever forget”. Rich said that her daughter could tell she was struggling after a phone call near the end of the race. “She knew I had struggled the last few miles,” Rich said. “She saw tears in my eyes when I called on mile 24.”
In the video, Rich’s facial expression changes from tiredness to a smile after seeing her daughter emerge from the crowd to join her. Then, Rich and her daughter ran hand-in-hand to the finish line. “Nothing could have prepared me for the moment my 10-year-old daughter would jump out of the crowd and run, with me to the finish line,” she said. When the race was done, the two hugged each other at the finish line. The video ends with a final caption, “And then she just held me. She held me.”
In the past, the REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon has had other memorable moments of mothers caring for their children, but perhaps not as hands-on as this one.
24. What happened to Rich when she was coming to the finish line
A. She was far behind others. B. She felt herself struggling.
C. She fell down all of a sudden. D. She was interrupted by Avery.
25. How did Avery react to the accident
A. She ran the rest in place of Rich.
B. ‘She tried to call for help at once.
C. She helped Rich run to the finish line.
D. She shouted encouraging words to Rich.
26. How did Rich feel about Avery’s response
A. Content. B. Doubtful. C. Concerned. D. Expected.
27. What can be the best title for the text
A. A Mother Would Never Give Up On Her Marathon Dream
B. A Mother Encouraged Her Daughter To Pursue Her Dream
C. A Daughter Got Involved In Her Mother’s Race By Mistake
D. A Daughter Cheered For Her Mother By Joining In Her Race
C
Health organizations such as the UK’s national health services recommend that adults take 10 micrograms, or 400 international units (IU) of vitamin D every day, while the National Institutes of Health advise that most adults take 600 IU, with both bodies cautioning against taking more than 4,000 IU per day. Having too much vitamin D can cause a build-up of calcium (钙) in the blood, leading to symptoms such as nausea and kidney stones.
But Patrick J. LaRiccia at the University of Pennsylvania and his colleagues recently found that a daily dose (一剂) of 5,000 IU may reduce the risk of influenza-like symptoms. They wondered whether this higher-than-recommended dosage may also have other positive effects.
So the team asked 196 adults to take 5,000 IU of vitamin D3 every day for about nine months. The adults, aged 47 on average, were aware of the dose they were having. The researchers also analyzed the data of more than 1,900 people who weren’t given the 5,000 IU daily dose of vitamin D. However, they were free to take vitamin D supplements if they wished. Towards the end of the study, across this group, the average reported dose was 1,318 IU and the average age was 50.
Over 10 months, those on the 5,000 IU dose had a lower risk of being hospitalized due to any cause, and they had to visit the emergency room or be admitted to intensive care less than people in the other group. No participants reported side effects.
However, LaRiccia says the team can’t rule out the age difference as a possible cause of these results, with those in the high-dose group potentially avoiding hospital because they were on average three years younger. The nationalities of people in the two groups also differed, with fewer Hispanic and Latino people in the high-dose group, which may have affected the results.
“The findings are promising, but the study was relatively small and the study period was too short to monitor any long-term safety issues of such a high daily dose of vitamin D,” says JoAnn Manson at Harvard University.
28. How much vitamin D does National Institutes of Health recommend us to take daily
A. At least 10 IU. B. Less than 400 IU.
C. Roughly 600 IU. D. Over 4,000 IU.
29. How did the team carry out the study
A. By comparing and analyzing. B. By referring to previous data.
C. By using supporting examples. D. By explaining the phenomenon.
30. How many factors may have affected the results according to LaRiccia
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
31. What is JoAnn Manson’s attitude towards the study
A. Uncertain. B. Negative. C. Objective. D. Favorable.
D
Archaeologists in Egypt have unearthed a Sphinx statue (狮身人面像) with a smiley face near the Hathor Temple, one of the country’s best preserved ancient sites. The smiling Sphinx is much smaller than the famous Sphinx in Giza, which is 20 metres high. The stone work of art, believed to be a stylized representation of an ancient Roman emperor, was found inside a two-level tomb near the temple in southern Egypt.
Next to the beautifully and accurately carved Sphinx, researchers had found a Roman stone written in hieroglyph (象形文字). Once fully translated, the stone may unveil the identity of the sculpted ruler, who could be Emperor Claudius.
The smiling Sphinx is among a series of discoveries announced over the past few months. The country has uncovered major archaeological discoveries in recent months, primarily in the Saqqara cemetery (墓地) south of Cairo as well as in Giza, home to the only surviving structure of the seven wonders of the ancient world. Recently, Egypt announced the discovery of a hidden nine-metre passage inside the Great Pyramid of Giza, which may lead to the actual burial room of pharaoh (法老) Khufu, or Cheops. Further south, in Luxor, archaeologists had discovered a 1,800-year-old complete residential city from the Roman times.
Hathor Temple, about 500 kilometres south of the capital Cairo, was home to the Dendera Zodiac, a heavenly map which has been displayed at the Louvre in Paris for more than a century. Since Frenchman Sebastien Louis Saulnier took it out of the temple in 1922, Egypt has been attempting to get it back.
Some experts see such announcements as having more political and economic weight than scientific, as Egypt is counting on tourism to revive its vital tourism industry in a severe economic crisis. The government aims to draw in 30 million tourists a year by 2028.
32. What do we know about the smiling Sphinx
A. It has been the best-preserved Sphinx till now.
B. It was discovered close to the Hathor Temple.
C. It is as high as 20 metres like the Sphinx of Giza.
D. Its owner was confirmed as an ancient Roman ruler.
33. What does the underlined word “unveil” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Maintain. B. Seek. C. Deny. D. Reveal.
34. What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A. The discoveries made recently in Egypt.
B. The diversity of cultural relics in Egypt.
C. The status of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
D. The new discovery about pharaoh Khufu.
35. What does Egypt expect most from the recent discoveries
A. Scientific progress. B. Political position.
C. Cultural exchange. D. Economic advance.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
In a small town, there was a community talent show held every year in the local park. The event was a highlight for many, with performances from various local talents. Among the audience was a woman named Emily, a kind-hearted local librarian, along with her 12-year-old daughter Anna. Both of their eyes were filled with excitement.
As the show began, Emily and her daughter watched a young girl in amazement, about eight, confidently sing a song. Her voice was surprisingly powerful for her small body. Then a group of teenagers followed. Their hip-hop dance routine was full of energy, leading to cheers from the crowd. There was even an elderly gentleman who performed a series of magic tricks. However, as the sun began to set, many in the audience grew tired and the applause (掌声) after each act became less enthusiastic (热情的).
Then came the turn of a young boy, around ten years old, nervously holding his violin. As he started playing, it was clear that he was a beginner. His notes were shaky and he missed a few beats. The audience, already tired, responded with only a little polite applause. Emily noticed the boy’s frustrated face as he finished his performance.
It was at this moment that Emily recalled a powerful memory from her own childhood—the time when she had stood on a similar stage, her voice trembling through a song. But the kindness she had received from a stranger in the audience pushed her to carry on. Drawing from the lesson she had learned from the past experience, Emily stood up, clapping loudly and cheering for the boy. “Great job! Keep practicing, and you’re doing wonderfully!” she called out. Her enthusiasm inspired other members of the audience to join in the applause, their clap growing louder and more sincere.
