【推荐2】43-year-old Egyptian table tennis player Ibrahim Hamato, who plays with the mouth, created a sensation at the Rio 2016 Paralympic Games (里约残奥会). Five years later, soon after the start of the Tokyo Paralympics, Ibrahim Hamato received worldwide attention. With both arms cut, this Egyptian table tennis player used his feet to serve the ball and his mouth to hold the bat, which touched lots of people.
In 1973, Hamato was born in a small village in Egypt. At the age of 10, he lost both his arms in a train accident. For Hamato, the most difficult time was the first year after the accident. Later, he slowly accepted the fact and began to try to heal (治愈) himself with exercise.
At that time, only table tennis and football were available in the village. He first tried football. But it was hard for him to keep balance without arms. Until he saw someone playing table tennis, he decided to give it a try.
For people without arms, it is not an easy thing to take care of themselves in daily life, let alone play table tennis with their mouth. But Hamato did it. “It took me nearly a year of practice to get used to holding the racket with mouth and making the serve; with practice and playing regularly this skill was improved.” said Hamato. After years of practicing, he has taken part in many important matches. In 2013, Hamato won a prize in the African Disabled Championships. One year later, Hamato took part in World Table Tennis Championships as a guest.

As the old saying goes, “A new broom sweeps clean.” Donald Trump, the 45th president of the United States, took office on Jan 20. Soon after that, the new president began using his power to make changes to the country by signing several executive orders (总统行政令).The orders include the travel ban (禁令) on refugees (难民) and people from seven mainly Muslim countries, like Iraq and Syria. Trump believes this helps keep terrorism (恐怖主义) out of the US. He also signed an order to build a wall along the southern border, aiming to stop smugglers (走私者) and Mexicans moving to the US illegally (非法地) .
Trump pointed out on his Facebook that this is about keeping the US safe. However, many people, both from the US and other countries, are against the orders. Judges in the US say that Trump’s travel ban is unconstitutional (违背宪法的), as it is a kind of discrimination (歧视) against Muslims. And world leaders, groups and businesses including those from the United Nations and European Union are also against or have criticized the ban.
Trump also signed another controversial (有争议的) order about the economy. He decided to quit the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP, 跨太平洋伙伴关系协定). It was a free trade agreement between 12 countries around the Pacific, including Australia, Singapore and Japan. TPP was the product of seven years of work under former US President Barack Obama. It aims to make trade easier among the 12 countries. But Trump wants to do trade deals with one country at a time, instead of in a big group like the TPP, according to The Independent.
