Diana Golden was twelve years old when she had cancer. She was walking home one day after playing in the snow when her right leg simply gave out. Doctors diagnosed the problem as bone cancer. They recommended removing her leg above the knee.
When Diana heard the news, she asked the only first question: “Will I be still able to ski?”
“When the doctors said yes,” she later recalled, “I figured it wouldn’t be too bad.”
Losing a leg would cause most children to lose confidence and hope, but Diana refused to dwell on the negative. “It is nothing. A body part.” she’d say.
Most of all, Diana was not discouraged. She loved skiing and she had been on skis since the age of five. After the operation, Diana worked hard to get back to the mountain near her home. “I always skied and I intended to keep on skiing. I never doubt that.” she declared. Diana met her goal. She was back out on the slopes.
With just one leg, Diana made the best of it. In high school, Diana became a member of her school’s ski racing team. And in 1979, when she was just seventeen, she joined the US Disabled Ski Team.
After high school, Diana went on to Dartmouth College. Determined not to be left behind, Diana continued her training with the Dartmouth team. “I had one leg, which meant I had to do it differently.” she later explained.
In 1982, Diana entered her first international ski race. She won the world Handicapped Championship in Norway. In 1986, Diana won the Beck Award given to the best American racer in international skiing. And in 1988, she was named Ski Racing Magazine’s U.S. Female Skier of the Year.
With her courage and determination, Diana has changed how people look at disabled athletes. “Everyone has some kind of disability,” Diana says. “It’s what we do with our abilities that matters.”
In 1990, Diana retired from racing for good.

For most people, money still means physical cash printed by a sole(唯一的、专有的), public authority. Yet it may be short-lived, as cash gives way to the digitalization of finance and new means of payment may take over. The big change will have huge impacts on states, people and companies.
Does it do more good than harm? Eswar Prasad, a senior professor of Trade Policy at Cornell University, says in his book Kill bills, the Future of Money, it depends on central banks — whether they can embrace change without losing control. He insists the end of cash — likely within a decade or two — is revolutionary.
As for the trend that cash is declining, Mr Prasad explains that it is due to the fact that many people bank from laptops and make payments on their phones. Bitcoin and many other digital monies it has inspired bring about a more fundamental shift, which makes payments possible without the need for a trusted, central authority. However, banks remain dominant. Fearing this could do them out of a job, many central banks are beginning to catch up with the pace by developing their own digital currencies — CBDCs, which will upgrade the financial system.
Mr Prasad says they are more efficient than cash for settling transactions(交易结算). They could also provide support to digital-payment systems managed by private firms. They could offer “unbanked” communities access to digital payments and other financial products. And they may make it easier to track illegal transactions.
However, Mr Prasad fears CBDCs may be vulnerable(脆弱的) to hacking and bugs; they could kill private innovation and cause the instability they are meant to prohibit. The privacy of transactions will be lost.
He also manages to make the financial system understandable and interesting. His patient description of how it works includes numbers of well-researched examples and personal anecdotes.
28.What’s NOT the cause of cash decline?
A.Digital monies.
B.Digitalization of finance.
C.Financial system.
D.New means of payment.
29.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
