The History of Table Tennis

Like many other sports，table tennis began as a mild social diversion. Descending，along with lawn tennis and badminton，from the ancient medieval game of tennis. It was popular in England in the second half of the nineteenth century under its present name and various trade names such as Gossima and Whiff-Whaff. After the name Ping-Pong (an imitation of the sound made by the ball striking the table and the vellum bats that were used) was introduced by J. Jaques & Son，the game became a fashionable craze.

The game was popular in Central Europe in 1905-10，and even before this is a modified version had been introduced to Japan，where it later spread to China and Korea. After a period when it had dropped out of favor in Europe，the game was revived in England and Wales in the early twenties. By that time ‘Ping-Pong’ had been registered as a trademark，so the earlier name of table tennis was re-introduced. National associations were formed and standardization of the rules began，both in Europe and the Far East. Then，over the next sixty years，table tennis developed into a major worldwide sport，played by perhaps thirty million competitive players and by uncountable millions who play less seriously. However，the game itself has not changed in essence since its earliest days，though it is faster，more subtle and more demanding than it was even only twenty years ago.

Ping-Pong Diplomacy

One of the first public hints of improved U.S.-China relations came on April 6，1971，when the American Ping-Pong team，in Japan for the 31st World Table Tennis Championship，received a surprise invitation from their Chinese colleagues for an all-expense paid visit to the People’s Republic. Time magazine called it “The ping heard round the world.” On April 10，nine players，four officials，and two spouses stepped across a bridge from Hong Kong to the Chinese mainland，ushering in an era of “Ping-Pong diplomacy.” They were the first group of Americans allowed into China since the Communist takeover in 1949.

In various Ping-Pong games，the most famous is the world championship competition，which was held once a

year at the beginning，now，it is held twice a year ever since 1957.

In 1904，a shanghai shop keeper called Wang Dao WU，brought 10 sets of table tennis tools home，the game was therein introduced to china.

Questions

1)What do you feel about the performance of Chinese athletes?

2)Why they can achieve such great honors?

3)What impact of the athletes on you do you think?

4)Will you take an active part in physical exercise? Why or why not?

(A)

Daredevil climber Alain Robert，known as the French Spiderman，stood strong winds and rain to climb the world’s tallest skyscraper，Taipei 101，Saturday.

Robert，dressed in red rain jacket，tights and climbing shoes，climbed up ropes hung down the side of the 101-storey，1，667-foot office tower，reaching the top in around four hours. “It was a very big moment and I felt a lot of satisfaction though I was so tired and nearly all of my muscles were painful. I felt completely eased. ” said Robert after taking the ride down in one of the tower’s lifts，the world’s fastest.

Several hundred on-lookers and shoppers gathered at the base of the tower watching and cheering Robert’s progress through live pictures on a large television screen. At times he disappeared from view as clouds passed by the top of the tower surrounding the upper stories.

The 42-year-old Frenchman has covered scores of well-known structures around the world including the Empire State Building and the Eiffel Tower——without permission or any safety equipment or ropes.

This time Robert was wearing a harness (背带) fastened to safety ropes for the entire climb. He used the ropes to pull himself up most of the way，using his hands and feet to climb up the walls for only short sections. He said that the management had requested he wear the ropes and safety equipment，which had also become necessary due to the rain making the windows and frames very slippery. Robert said he would not carry his pity the next time.

B. The French Spiderman climbed the world’s tallest building

Basketball，baseball and soccer are classic sports that people will

always enjoy. And yet we keep changing popular games like these in new

ways to keep them fresh.

Underwater hockey

This game is played in swimming pools with two teams of six players. Each

player has flippers (蛙鞋)，a snorkel and a stick used for hitting a puck (圆

盘). Each team earns points by hitting the puck into its underwater goal.

Other team members must be ready to take the puck when a team member

goes up for air. That makes underwater hockey a true team sport.

Chessboxing

A sport can also be revised by mixing it with another game. In chessboxing，

two players compete on the chess board and in the ring. First，their minds are tested in a game of chess. Then they use their strength in a round of boxing. They repeat this for 11 rounds. The winner beats the loser in chess，knocks him out while boxing or gets more boxing points.

Bossaball

This exciting sport is part volleyball and part soccer. But unlike both of

those sports，players jump up and down throughout the game. That’s

because it’s played on an inflatable(可充气的) volleyball court with a

trampoline on either side of the net. One player bounce on the trampoline

while up to four others stand around it. A team can touch the ball six times

before sending it back across the net. Each player may touch the ball once

with arms or twice with other body parts.

Cycleball

Another fun game to watch，cycleball is like indoor soccer on wheels.

Each player rides a special bike designed for the game. Like soccer，a team

must put the ball in a goal. However，there is a catch. The ball can only be

touched with the bikes’ wheels or the players’ heads. This game requires a

lot of practice to learn the skills needed.

Though these sports may not be common，give them a look or even a try.

1. Why does the author think Underwater Hockey is a true team sport?

A. Because all players in a team wear the same flippers and use a stick to hit a puck.

B. Because each player in a team has to cooperate with other team members in the match.

C. Because it is played underwater，the game is more dangerous than the sports played on land.

D. Because each team earns points by hitting the puck into its underwater goal.
