The first time I invited a good friend not just over to but into my house, post-vaccination, without masks, I couldn’t even wait until she walked up to my door —I ran outside to greet her, and we hugged each other in the driveway. We both held on tight, as we took turns exclaiming how good it was to see each other. We     1    (not hang) out in person since January 2020, and of course I was looking forward to talking, sharing a meal, catching up on all her news—but somehow I felt that     2    any of that happened, I would also get to hug her. It was my first hug from a friend in more than a year, and a reminder of just how     3    (comfort) a good hug can be.
I’ve been a huger since middle school, when my friends and I     4    embrace between classes in the hall as though we hadn’t just seen one another the day before. In high school, I volunteered at a Girl Scouts camp every summer, and at the end of each session, many of our campers would seek us out     5    (say) goodbye. My fellow counselors and I would typically offer     6    a choice: Hug, handshake or high five? Most of the kids would choose a hug. But there were always at least a few     7    would opt for a handshake, at times delivered so solemnly that I felt like we were going into business together, or a high five, some slapping so hard that my hand     8    (hurt). I always appreciated this ritual, especially the individual ask, for the simple reason     9    it allowed me to think about and honor each camper’s wishes. As I venture out from my pandemic bubble, I hope to bring the same kind of intentionality to every much     10    (anticipate) reunion.

When El Salvador(萨尔瓦多)made bitcoin a legal currency on September 7, it became the first nation in the world to do so.
Bitcoin is decentralized,   11  money that can be sent from user to user on the bitcoin network. Its value is not supported by any country’s central bank.
President Nayib Bukele praised the use of bitcoin for its   12  to help Salvadorans living abroad to send money back home, while saying the U. S. dollar would continue as legal tender(法定货币). In practice, Salvador does not have its own currency.
In the capital, San Salvador, reactions were mixed, with some excited that the new currency could increase prosperity and financial   13  . Others were skeptical(怀疑的).
The government of Bukele placed one of 200 banking machines at the “Excuartel” market. They were supposed to permit bitcoins to be   14  or changed into U. S. dollars without paying extra costs. Sellers of goods were angry that officials didn’t explain how it would work. The feeling of   15  extended beyond San Salvador’s “Excuartel” market into the Central American country of 6.4 million people.
In July, three out of four Salvadorans were concerned about the bitcoin plan; public opinion research showed. Later, about 300 protesters   16  on El Salvador’s Congress to demand that the new bitcoin law be stopped.
Since El Salvador started using the U. S. dollar as its currency in 2001, inflation(通货膨胀) has been just two percent, one of the lowest in Latin America. Higher inflation,   17  argue, could come from the use of bitcoin because its value changed often and by large amounts.
The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund have pointed to environmental and transparency(透明度)  18  over the use of bitcoin. After the bitcoin law passed, credit rating agency Moody’s   19  El Salvador’s credit rating.
Hanke, one protester, believed that Bukele’s ideas would end with economic problems. “For the United States, this would mean yet another wave of     20    from an unstable Central American failed state,” he said.
