The highest compliment anyone could pay anyone else when I was growing up in England in the 1980s was “skill” (as in 
“man, your new skateboard is so skill”), and nobody was more skill than Diego Armando Maradona. His name        12      as 
the highest form of praise, on the soccer field and elsewhere (“man, your new skateboard is so Maradona”). Then I saw him 
score against Italy in the 1986 World Cup, leaping several feet into the air outside the left edge of the six-yard box to tap the 
ball deftly over the outstretched right leg of the Italian captain, past the outstretched arms of the keeper, and into the bottom 
right-hand corner of the goal. It was evident that Maradona was not merely skillful, but skill        13      .  
The next time Maradona scored was June 22, the day Argentina played against England. The two nations had last clashed 
four years earlier, not on a soccer field but in the Falklands War. By the time Britain had retaken the islands from Argentina, 
more than 900 men (most of them Argentines) had lost their lives. The victory saw Margaret Thatcher’s popularity soar in 
Britain; in contrast, the defeat    14     the downfall of the right-wing military junta that had ruled Argentina since 1976. 
All that was ancient history four years later. Maradona scored both of Argentina’s goals in a 2-1 victory over England. The 
second of them, 11 dazzling seconds of superhuman skill, was voted Goal of the Century in 2002. When Maradona executed 
an exquisite arabesque, stretching his right leg elegantly behind him, I would not have been surprised if he     15      into 
the air and started flying. He appeared to be moving through a different        16        from the England players, who came to 
tackle him only once he was already past them. It’s amazing! 
12 was convoked was invoked  was provoked  was revoked

In the early years of the 1900’s, many different groups were demanding reform and renewal: black writers, labor organizers, 
supporters of women’s rights, and muckraking journalists.    21     Modernism, as much of this new work and theory came to 
be called, was based on the belief that all the existing structures that governed life and art—social, religious, and political—had 
broken down. Order was replaced by fragments, and the typical modernist work often seems difficult to understand. 
Despite modernism’s influence, important work was done in the early 1900’s of a more familiar sort.     22   Robinson’s 
poems are often set in a fictional New England town called “Tillbury.”    23    “Eros Turannos” (1916), one of his finest 
poems, portrays a woman’s desperate and self-destructive love for a man she knows will betray her. 
Robert Frost was probably the best-known American poet of the 1900’s.       24       At that time, modernists wrote verse which 
was difficult and obscure.    25   He was born in California, but he lived most of his long life in New England. His poetry is 
filled with the landscapes, seasons, and people of that region. 
21 The same spirit of protest also touched literature. 
Frost wrote poetry that was based on ordinary speech and was accessible to a large audience. 
His typical characters are joyless men and women who spend their days contemplating their own failure. 
His first volumes, A Boy’s Will (1913) and North of Boston (1914) gained him a popularity that lasted half a century.

In particular, Edwin Arlington Robinson and Robert Frost used the scenes and voices of New England to create memorable
