As the 2022 FIFA World Cup approaches, it is interesting to look at stars who could make an influence. We have looked at the different teams and chosen four players to watch out for in Qatar.
Kylian Mbappé
Mbappé is currently the poster boy of professional football. Aside from incredible club performances, Mbappé has solidified himself as a World Cup performer due to the 2018 World Cup. Here, he was awarded the FIFA World Cup Best Young Player Award and scored an amazing 25-yard strike in the final against Croatia.
Cristiano Ronaldo
The list of awards and honors that Ronaldo has gained is legendary. Though he is 37 yet still considered one of the best players in the world. At this point in their career, most forwards are on the decline and have regressed physically – but not Ronaldo. Ronaldo is the all-time international leading goal scorer, and you can count on him in Qatar.
Lionel Messi
We could not list Cristiano Ronaldo without also including Lionel Messi. He remains a once-in-a-generation talent and has proved himself time and time again as the leading force behind Argentina’s international squad. He is also a major reason why football is the most popular sport in the world. After disappointment in the 2018 World Cup, we can count on Messi to up his game and lead his team in Group C.
Neymar
Neymar is one of the most exciting and legendary Brazilian footballers since Ronaldinho and Ronaldo. He has proved to be an incredible player at both club and international level and has scored 74 goals in 119 appearances for Brazil. On the international stage, Neymar has competed in many events, including the 2014 and 2018 World Cups, the 2015 Copa America and the Olympics.
Who do you think are the players to watch out for? These are only four picks, after all, and there are many more talented stars who will be looking to make their name in Qatar.

【推荐1】My track and field coach, Mr. Jones, had decided to get the team to take part in the 4×100m race. It would be the first time that we were running in such a race. We needed to work as a team to improve our speed. The most critical moment was the passing of the baton (接力棒) at the right time to the next runner.
Mr. Jones had chosen me to start the race. The next runner would be Susan. In the beginning, whenever we practiced passing the baton, something would go terribly wrong. I would either be going too slowly or she would be taking off too late. We needed to perfect it. At the same time, I had to make sure that I would not go beyond the yellow line.
Finally it was the day of the race. We were confident that the gold medal would be ours. Each of us had improved in our running speed. Our passing of the baton had been perfected during the practices.
My reactions were exact and accurate as I started running. Everything felt the way it should be as I sprinted towards Susan. I held the baton in my sweaty palms, promising myself not to let it go. My long legs moved me as fast as I could go round the corner. As I came closer to my final steps, my heart was beating faster than usual. The cheering by the spectators (观众) got into me and I became nervous. “What if we lose?” I thought to myself. It was then that I saw Susan in the far distance.
I held out the baton and continued running quickly towards Susan. Susan yelled “Slow down, slow down!” However, it was too late. The official held up the red flag. It was then that I realized that I had gone beyond the yellow line.

【推荐3】David Brown is known as the world’s fastest completely blind runner. He was diagnosed(诊断) with Kawasaki disease at 15 months old, which led him to completely lose his sight by age13.
Brown says he was living in fear for a number of years until he discovered his passion for running. After winning an essay contest, he earned the ticket for the Olympic Games in Beijing in 2008. It was at that time that he knew he wanted to compete himself.
Paralympic(残奥会) runners train and compete alongside sighted guides. At the Rio Games in 2016, Brown and his partner Jerome Avery ran 10.99 in the men’s 100-meter dash to take home the gold. Brown made his way to running from another sport. He explains that he lost his left eye when he was 3, and lost vision in his right eye over time. He played basketball as a kid, but was increasingly getting injured because he couldn’t see the ball coming. “I took the opportunity to run on the playground, and realized I had some speed there,” he says.
He pursued his passion at the Missouri School for the Blind. Brown started at the school when he was 11, and it was there that he really started running track.
He got to his first Paralympic games by writing about running. Brown was one of the 25 winners of an essay contest that got to attend the event in Beijing. He says he wrote about how he used sports to overcome difficulties, noting that as he grew up he struggled with depression.

【推荐1】About the Irish Experience
The Irish Experience is a program for North American high school students. This program takes place over a four-week period in July. For two weeks the students will live in the beautiful university town of Cork in the South of Ireland. They will attend classes in an informal and relaxed atmosphere.
Traditional Irish music is alive in Cork City and can be heard most nights in some of the pubs in the city centre. There are several theatres in the city. A visit to one of these will be part of our schedule. Cork is also the gateway to the beautiful south-west part of Ireland and we will be taking in all the sights of West Cork and Kerry.
The other two weeks will be spent at University College Dublin, a short bus ride from the centre of Dublin, one of the oldest capital cities in Europe with one of the youngest populations — almost 50% of the city`s people are under 25 years old. Staying at student apartments on the university campuses, students will have the opportunity to meet young people of many different nationalities.
The students will enjoy a true Celtic cultural experience and a sense of Irish history and culture through guided tours to various historical sites in Dublin—The Cliffs of Moher in County Clare and the Neolithic passage tombs in Newgrange, County Meath.

I absolutely love Bark magazine! I love the “smiling” pages and the tips on every issue. I am a dog lover and have saved all of my dogs from either death row or from people who were going to put them down. Everyone should have a chance to live and Bark stresses that with its articles. This magazine is a MUST HAVE for any dog lover!!

Don't waste your money on this magazine. 60-70 percent of it are advertisements, and the articles offer little useful information. It might be suitable for children, but not adults who are serious about educating themselves about dogs.
Dog World
Cover Price: $48.88 Price: $14.99 ($1.25 / issue)
You save: $33.89 (69%) Review: By one critic
Dog World has many very interesting and thought-provoking (令人思考的) articles for people involved in dog showing, breeding(饲养), performance events, etc. However，over half of the magazine is devoted to breeder ads, which is boring. Still, as a whole, I recommend(推荐) it for the articles. Good articles, but tons of ads.

My new favorite magazine!

【推荐1】A national hero and a world number one in badminton, Lee Chong Wei is surely one of Malaysia’s best-known athletes. He has received numerous medals. Lee and Nicol David, who is also a Malaysian player, received the title of Datuk due to the outstanding achievements they had brought to the country.
Having a strong will, Lee continually challenged himself to rise above the competitors, narrowly missing out on the gold medal and taking the silver at the 2012 London Olympics. He managed to win his ninth Malaysian Open title in 2013, breaking a record set by Malaysian athlete Wong Peng Soon in 1954; and in 2014, he had his fifth Japan Open title.
Regrettably in late 2014, Lee Chong Wei was forbidden(禁止) to compete for eight months after testing positive for drugs. The World Badminton Federation (WBF), after investigations (调 查) and a hearing, said that they did not think Lee Chong Wei tried to cheat on purpose, so he was allowed to continue to play. His world ranking suffered as a result of the punishment but he’s making his way back up.
In 2016, Lee Chong Wei won his 11th Malaysian Open and fifth Malaysian Masters titles. He also beat Lin Dan in the semi-finals and World No.1 Chen Long in the finals of the Asian Badminton Championship to win the prize. He has become the World No.1 player and continued to act as a source of encouragement to future Malaysian athletes wishing to make a name in the world.

【推荐2】This is Ella Stevens who, at just 13 years old, is fighting for a chance to drive for the most famous team in Formula One-Ferrari(法拉利一级方程式赛车).
This fall Stevens faces a series of challenges, on and off track at the Paul Ricard circuit in France, with the ultimate prize a place on the famous Ferrari Driver Academy as its first female racer. “It’s a very good opportunity for me,” Ella, already a British karting champion, tells CNN. “We have to do a few fitness tests in the first phase so that they can see our driving.”
The Academy is, in fact, a breeding ground for future racing stars. Its current crop includes Mick Schumacher, the son of legendary Ferrari driver Michael, Enzo Fittipaldi, whose grandfather Emerson was a double F1 world champion, as well as Arthur Leclerc, the younger brother of Ferrari’s current F1 racer Charles.
On the face of it, it’s no place for a 13-year-old girl from a small village in England-who already has a mountain to climb as a female in a sport still dominated by males. After all, a female has not raced in Fl for more than 40 years, and just six women have taken part in a grand prix(大奖赛)weekend.
But Stevens is being supported by a popular figure in the Fl community, Rob Smedley. He worked as a Ferrari engineer for more than a decade and is now teaching Stevens through his own Electroheads.
Talent Academy
Smedley describes Ferrari’s search for a potential female racer as a “huge step.” “Having a major player in the sport, with such a rich history as Ferrari, leading on this has to be applauded”, he tells CNN. “It’s absolutely amazing that they want to do this and they’re taking positive action to increase the gender diversity within the sport.”

【推荐3】2022 was another year for people all around the world to embrace the power and inspiration of sports and for athletes to enjoy victory and progress. The past year, sports brought honor and success as well as failure and frustration, all of which made the world more exciting. Here are 3 memorable moments of sports in 2022.
Friendship
Gu Ailing and Chloe Kim had a heartwarming moment at the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. Kim successfully defended the title and Gu was there to cheer her on. The US athlete went over to Gu in the crowd to give her a huge hug, celebrating the precious moment together.
Freestyle skier Gu Ailing, gaining two golds and a silver, has been the most-talked-about athlete at the Beijing 2022 with her sweeping influence. Kim, the first woman to win two snowboard halfpipe Olympic golds, has raised the women's halfpipe game to a whole new level.
Celebration
Zhang Weili restored her career in New York as she reclaimed the Ultimate Fighting Championship's strawweight title by defeating wrestling specialist Carla Esparza. Zhang first won the strawweight belt in August 2019 in China before losing it to Rose Namajunas in her second defense in April 2021.
“Every day I dreamed of this, my belt coming back. Now I feel like my dream (has come true),” Zhang said emotionally in English in the post-fight interview.
Bhang became the first Chinese and only the third woman in the world to hold the strawweight belt many times, joining Esparza and Namajunas who have both won it twice.
Victory
Argentina won thrilling World Cup final on penalties and Lionel Messi finally has the title that he has lost for so long. But they did it the hard way after what will go down as one of the greatest (if not the greatest) World Cup finals of all time.
Messi carried the team on his own shoulders for much of the tournament and scored twice in the final to finish the campaign with seven goals and three assists, a performance comparable to that of Maradona in 1986.
Messi fell to his knees inside the center circle at Lusail stadium, happiness showed on his face as his Argentina teammates ran towards him and then piled on top of him in cheerful celebration.
This was the best glory of a career that already had everything except for a World Cup.
