In 2014, the SEE launched a prject titled “ne millin saxaul trees”, aiming t reach that number frm 2014 t 2023, turning the desert f mre than 133, 330 hectares (公顷) back int a satisfying ecsystem.

While the remaining 8 teams f the FIFA Wrld Cup 2022 in Qatar cmpete in the quarter-finals, it is wrth nting that it is nt nly sccer that has captured the wrld’s attentin, but als the vide assistant referee (VAR) technlgy.
Like it r hate it, the VAR is a part f ftball games tday.
Many ftball fans questin whether the system made the game better r if it added unnecessary sme cmplicatin t the beautiful game, especially this time in Qatar, as a number f cntrversial (引起争议的) decisins were made invlving VAR – it slws dwn the game, ffside law (越位规则) is smetimes nt flexible.
The intrductin f the VAR means at the tp-level ftball nw tends t pause and delay with the n-field referee ften waiting fr decisins t be made by thse lcated in ffices ften far away frm the stadiums themselves.
Actually, the use f vide match fficials (VMOs) in ftball was included in the 2018/2019 editin f the Laws f the Game and was already used at the 2018 FIFA Wrld Cup. Since then, the system has been used in ver 100 cmpetitins wrldwide.

We shuld admit that sprts tech is still far frm perfect in the field f sprts events. Peple’s emtins are nt twards thse technlgies themselves, but the current shrtcmings f the applicatin f the technlgy.
The cntrversies in the ftball field are nt caused by VAR alne as there are t many uncertain factrs n the curt, which is a part f the game drama. Fr example, the penalty kick (点球) in the penalty area is judged in a variety f situatins.

C．The changes f match laws. D．The decisins made by caches.
29．What des the underlined wrd “referee” in paragraph 4 mean?
A．Viewer.B．Athlete.C．Judge.D．Hst.
