21、The 90-minute long game involves two goals, black and white checkered balls, goalkeeper, and no hand use. This sport, of course, is soccer or football, as the majority of the rest of the world says. It’s confusing that some countries call this sport “football” while Americans and Canadians say “soccer”, but apparently the British are mostly to blame.

The name confusion is actually thanks to British universities in the early 1800s who tried standardizing various sports games that had different rules and regulations to differentiate between them, according to a paper by Stefan Szymanski, a professor of sports economics at the University of Michigan.

Rugby, formerly known as “rugby football” or “rugger”, is a translation of “football” where you can use your hands. Soccer, originally “association football” or “asoccer”, is the traditional translation of “football” where people don’t use their hands. People in England started shortening the names by dropping the “association” part of the phrase as well as the “a” in “asoccer”, per Szymanski’s paper. If your head hurts from thinking about this, prepare to have your mind blown by these things you probably never thought about — until just now.

Now comes the complexity: in 1869, Rutgers and Princeton colleges held the first traditional, recorded, football game using a unique combination of rules from both rugby and soccer, creating what we know as “American football” and what other countries refer to as “gridiron”. Thanks to the popularity of American football, soccer players in America keep to “soccer” to help differentiate themselves, according to the Encyclopedia Britannica.

If the name “soccer” stuck in Britain, and if Americans came up with a better one for American football, there would be much less confusion. So why did the “football” short kind of “association football” become more popular than “soccer” in England anyway? Originally, American influence on Britain during World War II made “soccer” the popular term in England before the 1980s, The Atlantic reports. Once the sport became more popular in the United States around that time, the British stopped using “soccer”. Szymanski’s paper claims it could be thanks to American and British news organizations pushing either term in each country.

22、WHERE ARE WE GOING TODAY?

The Play Indoor Playground covers 2, 300 square feet. It has fun, colorful entertaining and exciting toys and equipment for you to play with.

How about the inflatable（可充气的） obstacle course？ Do you think you will be able to walk around it as you re bouncing everywhere? Maybe you want to take a swim in the ball pool.

The great thing about playing is being able to be creative and use your imagination. You can be ANYTHING you want to be! How about being monkeys to hide out in the tree house? You can climb up to the top of the tree house slide, and pretend to eat those yummy bananas before sliding back down again. Or perhaps you want to be princesses, sitting in the castle with your lovely long hair flowing out of the tower. You can use the clothes in the princess dress-up trunk to really feel the part.

For the little ones, there is an infant section where they can play and experiment with the toys at their own pace, away from the bigger kids, and there is also a Sony Playstation area for the slightly bigger kids who want to try and beat their highest scores and try the latest games.

23、Erica James is the author of 23 best-selling novels. Now, the romance novelist shares the books that shaped her career.

Three Men in a Boat

Jerome K Jerome

This was the initial book that made me laugh out loud. Anything I’d read previously had been school texts. Reading them was like watching paint dry, but suddenly here was something exciting which clearly shows a great many features of human behaviour. From then on, I fell in love with reading.

A Woman of Substance

Saint Maybe

Anne Tyler

Saint Maybe is a sad example of how one small mistake can result in tragedy for a family. As always with Anne Tyler, there’s sadness and humor within the pages, but the true strength of this novel lies in the author’s ability to write with sympathy

The Marriage Pact

24、   Sophia Joffe is a Toronto-area high school student at Country Day School who created eLearn. fyi ： an online database compiled （编译）of more than 300 online learning tools. Students are able to access her website to create an online learning profile where they can manage their studies in an approach.

The Grade 12 student used her own experience shifting from a classroom setting to an online platform as inspiration for her program.

“It was really difficult and it was really stressful knowing that right after the outbreak of the COVID-19 we jumped into a totally new online learning system --- it was quite different from an in-class instruction," said Joffe in an interview with CTV's Your Morning on Friday.

She expected that there would be added resources to help students cope as they shifted to an online learning environment9 but her expectations fell short. Not only were there few available, but resources lacked quality, she said.

Like many students, Joffe is concerned the COVID-19 pandemic has caused learning loss for many students. Her goal isn't only to reduce the stress the pandemic has put on students, but remove learning loss altogether.

As was first reported in the New York Times, Joffe invested $ 19 — the cost of hosting a website -- and created eLearn. fyi. By October, Joffe's online traffic had 500 unique visitors from more than 40 countries. The program categorizes grades from Kindergarten to Grade 12, and then breaks subjects down, making it easier for students to digest classroom material in a simple way. Joffe's website clearly organizes students' classes and takes them to simple apps and websites that help guide them through any given subject.

Joffe hopes the Canadian government will one day work in partnership with tech companies to modernize the learning experience and the platforms like Netflix could pose an opportunity where students can stream classes at their own pace while having their entire education at their fingertips.

【1】What did Sophia Joffe initially think of online learning?

A.It was less different from classroom learning.

B.It really made her feel more or less stressed.

C.It was an effective way to fight the COVID-19.

D.It provided a good opportunity to create eLearn. fyi.

【2】What made Sophia upset at the beginning of online study?

A.Not getting adequate and qualified resources.

B.Not knowing how to obtain study materials.

C.Having no experience on running a website.

D.Finding it a tough job to host a website.

【3】Why did Sophia create eLearn. fyi?

A.To gain some income by investing a small sum.

B.To get her online database far more perfect.

C.To collect some useful learning resources.

D.To give a hand to those who are learning online.

【4】What can be inferred according to the sixth paragraph?

A.The eLearn. fyi has brought Joffe a big income.

B.Joffe has benefited students at home and abroad.

C.Joffe also sells some learning apps to students.

D.The eLearn. fyi creates a similar classroom environment.

25、   When I was a child of seven years old, my friends, on a holiday, filled my pocket with coins. I went at once to a shop where they sold toys for children. Being________ with the sound of a     whistle that I had seen by the way, in the hands of another boy, I handed over all my money for one.  I then came home, and went whistling all over the house, much pleased with my whistle, but________ all the family. My brothers and sisters and cousins, when I told of the ________ I had made, said I had given four times as much as the whistle was worth. They put me in mind of what good things I might have bought with the rest of the money, and laughed at me so much for my being stupid that I cried with vexation ( 烦恼 ). Thinking about the matter gave me more ________ than the whistle gave me pleasure.

If I knew a miser ( 守财奴 ) who________ every kind of comfortable living, all the pleasure of doing good to others, all the esteem of his fellow citizens  and  the  joys  of  friendship, ________ gathering and keeping wealth--- “Poor man,” said I, “ you pay too dear for your whistle.” When I met a man of pleasure, who did not try to improve his mind or his fortune but________ devoted   himself to having a good time, perhaps neglecting his health, “  Mistaken man, you are providing________ for yourself, instead of pleasure; you are paying too dear for your whistle.” If I saw someone  fond  of________ who  has fine  clothes,  fine  houses, fine  furniture,  fine  earrings, all  above his________, and for which he had run into debt, and ends his career in a prison. “Alas,” said I, “he has    paid dear, very dear, for his whistle.”
