Diego Maradona Transcended Sport

For a nation prone to frequent grieving over its missed opportunities, crashing from the world’s 10^th wealthiest economy per capita in 1913 to the edge of economic and social     1     in the past century, Argentina has produced an astonishing array of instantly recognizable global icons.

And there is Diego Maradona,     2     the world’s greatest ever footballer, who transcended the sport to become something much more than a soccer star to millions around the world. Perhaps no image     3     his conflicting essence like the one at the 1994 World Cup. After scoring a wonderful goal against Greece, he raced toward the sideline TV camera, arms pulled back, chest stuck out, mouth open, eyes wide as if he were possessed by the devil. And there also was the “Hand of God,” a(an)     4     goal undetected by the referee. Had it taken place in this age of video review, it would have been laughed off and forgotten. Instead, it stands in a historic moment that could belong only to Maradona.

To the world’s neglected and     5    , Maradona became a figure of hope, for some almost a god. Such is the power of the Maradona icon that even his death of natural causes on Wednesday, most likely brought on by decades of     6     abuse, still feels like a kind of martyrdom (殉难).

Here in Argentina, Maradona is everywhere     7    , in people’s hearts, in people’s minds. “I love him,” I have heard grown people shouting for over four decades now, continuing years after he retired from the soccer field. “Do you realize the happiness he brought to us, the poor? You have no idea!” A short video of a crying fan lighting a candle on the street for Maradona went     8     in Argentina. To countless fans like this, Maradona     9     a signal of rebellion against everything that is unfair in our unequal world. “For the kind of people working their way up from the     10    , the kind of kids who play ball barefoot in the street, Maradona was the Malcolm X（马尔科姆·艾克斯,美国黑人领袖）of them.”

9 . MEGHAN YOUNG is a professional Instagram star. She gets paid to climb beautiful mountains, photograph their glittering (闪闪发光的) summits and post about her adventures to her fans.

Young graduated from Seattle University’s school of Law in 2015. But she decided she didn’t want to become a lawyer. Her parents were shocked by the decision. “They were worried about what I was going to do,” Young says. “How was I going to find career stability?”

But her legal skills haven’t gone to waste. Once companies express an interest in working with her, there’s the tough task of negotiating the terms (条款) of the deal. And the work is still unfinished even after she’s done take the photos. When Young returns from her adventures, she carefully edits the images and writes captions to go along with them. Once the posts are public, businesses sometimes don’t pay on time. That's when she needs to follow up. Her least favorite problem is when she discovers that a company has used her photos in a way that violates the terms of the contract.That usually leads to time-consuming email exchanges.

Social media influencing is not as effortless as it seems. The stress it creates even has its own name: creator burnout (精疲力竭) . Young used to obsessively check her post’s performance, which she says will “drive you crazy”, so she stopped. But if she doesn’t reply, people will stop commenting.Without that engagement on her posts, brands won’t want to keep paying her. Therefore, she had to accept the fact that she’ll be tethered (拴住) to her phone as long as she’s in this line of work.

Beyond the day-to- day headaches of a career online, social media’s inherent (固有的) uncertainly also poses problems for creators. There are times when Young is staring at the calendar without another project in the works. In the long term, it can be risky to focus a career on a single platform, or even on social media itself.

Yet Young says it’s all been worth it, because the sponsorship allow her to spend much of her life in the mountains. Her ideal day starts with unzipping her tent at dawn so she can take pictures of the sunrise reflecting on snowy summits around her. Few jobs in the world would allow her to do that so consistently (一贯地) .

I'm a 50-something male, the father of two mostly grown girls. I'm happy to say that both my parents are still kicking. I'm on good     1     with my brothers and sisters most of the time. I am blessed with good friends and other relations, and tend to get on well with my co-workers. I am fortunate in so many ways, but feel like I consistently disappoint everyone I know.

I cannot, for the life of me, give a genuine     2    . It simply doesn't come naturally. When I try, and I do, in order to maintain all the relationships, it feels forced, more a matter of     3     than a gift that might put wind in the sails of someone I truly care for. I feel strongly that giving should spring from joy, or at least from a     4     desire to see the recipient enlivened by it. When I have nothing to offer in response to a job well done, everyone loses. I feel like I've twisted the emotional and social development of my children, alienated（疏远）any number of perfectly wonderful lovers, and generally kept the world at arm's length.

After years of psychotherapy and the obsessive self-examination common to my generation, I believe I know where this meanness of spirit comes from. Six kids in total, at a very tender age, there were five younger, cuter kids standing between me and object of our     5    . Mama was driven to     6    , to put it mildly, by the demands placed on her, but it was the 1950s and she set a selfless and hardy example. I had complete     7     for her difficult situation, even at the time. The fact remains, however, that, as a young child. I needed more than I got. I     8     for my mother's attention. I needed to know that she     9     me as more than her helper, her strong little man. I clearly recall, at the ripe old age of 7, coming to the conclusion that I would never get it. "That's OK," I reckoned, " I can get by without it". "it" being her love.

You can imagine the sibling rivalry in a big family. Eventually I took haven in the written word to get away from it. But even before I learned to read, I had realized that giving any sign of approval or encouragement to my brothers and sisters could only     10     to increase the gulf between me and my mom. Does that make sense? I can rationalize otherwise, of course, and now we're all "one big happy family", but the damage is done. I want to be gracious and giving, but when I even think to reach into that purse, however, it's pretty much empty.
