Dylan's songs include a wide range of political,social and literary influences.They challenged existing pop music conventions and appealed to the growing counterculture.His recording career,spanning more than 50 years,has explored the traditions in American song,from folk,blues,and country to rock and roll,and to English,Scottish,and Irish folk music,even jazz and the Great American Songbook.He has toured steadily since the late 1980s on what has been called the Never Ending Tour.His accomplishments as a recording artist and performer have been central to his career,but songwriting is considered his greatest contribution.
As a musician,Dylan has sold more than 100 million records,making him one of the best-selling artists of all time.He has also received numerous awards including eleven Grammy Awards,a Golden Globe Award,and an Academy Award.The Pulitzer Prize jury in 2008 awarded him a special citation (引言)for his influence on popular music and American culture,marked by lyrical compositions of extraordinary poetic power".In May 2012,Dylan received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Barack Obama.In 2016,Dylan received the Nobel Prize in Literature"for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition".

20."You see someone just sitting there,looking like they're stupid,"explains teenager Manny Logan excitedly."You just run up to them,slap(掌击)them and run off.It's funny."
The 16-year-old Logan was describing"happy slapping".It's supposed to be fun but it's a new problem in Britain.Young people will attack passers-by while their friends record the whole thing on camera phones.It was first reported in south London six months ago.But,the practice has spread to other parts of the country and videos of attacks have become popular on the Internet.
The young people are called"hoodies"because they usually wear a sweatshirt with a hooded top.The top can be used to cover the head or face.
One study in England published earlier this year suggested that as many as one in four teenagers is an active offender.That includes both serious crimes and small acts like not paying for a bus ticket.
The fear of youth crime has left some parts of towns empty of ordinary people.
So,the British government declared war on public disorder last week.The Prime Minister has supported a decision by the country's biggest shopping centre in southeast of England to ban teenagers wearing hooded tops.The clothing helps tr oublemakers hide from the centre's cameras.
This week,the government is going further.It plans to force teenage offenders to wear orange jackets while they do public service.The idea is to sh ame them in front of others.
But some teenagers and experts have complained that,in their rush to stop the hoodies,politicians risk tarring all teenagers with the same brush.

25.According to the text,for what do the teenagers attack a person?A
A.Just for fun.B.Just for money.
C.To become well-known.D.To help their friends.
26.Why do teenager offenders wear hooded tops?D
A.To run away quickly.B.To record the happy slapping.
C.To avoid being hurt.D.To avoid being identified.
27.A teenager who wears an orange jacket doing public service is one whoC.
A.intends to attack people
B.gets praised by the government
