Winter is a very special time in Northern Norway. Winter also means skiing, and Narvik can offer some of the best skiing in Norway. The view and light change frequently and no two days are the same. For many people, the northern lights are an unforgettable sight, and in Narvik the sky is especially clear and great for watching at night.
The tourist season lasts from February to April, although May can be fascinating too, often with fantastic dry snow and an unbelievable light lasting well into the evening.
Ski hire
It is possible for adults and children to hire skiing equipment such as snowboards. All equipment is prepared for use. If you would like to book your equipment, please go to www.narvikfjellet.com.
Crosscountry skiing
There are 12 kilometres of crosscountry ski run in Narvik. You need to bring your own skis as there is no crosscountry hire. However, equipment can be bought at local sports shops in and around Narvik.
Offpiste skiing（非滑雪场地滑雪）
In order to explore Narvik’s offpiste opportunities, you need to know the dangers when choosing routes. It is suggested that you bring necessary equipment such as a shovel and a GPS locator. Ask www.narvikfjellet.com for an experienced guide. With a guide you can explore Narvik’s special offpiste areas in a safe manner.
Sometimes it is nice to do something different and not everybody enjoys skiing. Then you can go horseriding, or visit the local museums.

【推荐1】If you have a little child, who hates sitting in a car seat, then the FreedomRide is the answer to your problem.
Would you want to be stuck in an unchangeable position every time you're in the car?
No. You wouldn't.
When an adult sits in a car for any length of time, we stretch, we change the position, and we move our legs again and again. We do this without thinking. But kids in a traditional car seat can't do this. They are stuck in one position, and they can't move. We move because the circulation of blood needs to be recovered in our Legs as we sit in the same position for long.
In a traditional car seat, children can't move to reduce the pain so it puts them in anger. The FreedomRide lets them have a little freedom, and still be safe. The 5-point harness gives them additional safety over a traditional child car seat.
I am the webmaster for islandbreeze.com, and when JoeySafe asked us to redo their website I was attracted by this system. That is because I have two small children, both girls aged 3 and 4 and we obviously use car seats, I lived in Southern California, and every couple of months, my wife, the girls and I, go to see Grandma who lives in Nevada. It's a 5-hour drive, so the FreedomRide works well. With the FreedomRide, we don't need child car seats any more and there is more room in the car. Our trips are so much better now.
The FreedomRide really does make it easier to go on trips. The only thing you need when you use the JoeySafe instead of your old child car seat is a pillow. Besides, my kids want to take a pillow anyway! As a dad, 1 feel safe driving with the kids in the FreedomRide. I am a very safety-oriented person.

【推荐3】Are you one of the millions of people that start shopping for Halloween before school even starts? Insights from a study stated that more than a third of consumers will start buying Halloween products in September or earlier.
According to the survey, the majority of shoppers planned to purchase Halloween items from discount ,specialty, and department stores. Others take inspiration from an online search starting as early as August in some cases. This is good news for stores who get to reap the profits, though.
Roberta Gleicher, a district manager, said as a customer, she finds it annoying that stores put out decorations in August — but as a business consultant (顾问), she recommends they do so. “Stores try to keep customers in there as long as possible because the more time they spend, the more they will shop and buy. Once they, re shopping, they see holiday decorations and get in the holiday spirit,“ Gleicher says. This is true for women, especially, Gleicher noted. Women tend to take their time, look around, and compare price - whereas men buy and get out, she added.
“The store wants the customer to associate buying decorations. They want customers to think, 'Oh yeah, this store has decorations, let's shop there,'” Gleicher says. "And if they do the displays well enough, it will encourage shoppers to make impulse purchases.
Another reason why stores display howling ghouls (食尸鬼) in the summer heat is out of pure competition. Stores don't have a choice because it's almost guaranteed that competitors will get the buck. Once shoppers buy a product, they've bought it — and don't need to go elsewhere, Gleicher said.
“If more competitors keep pushing it earlier and earlier, it could end up starting in July," Gleicher says. "The longer they can extend the season, the better it is for their sales.”

【推荐1】For sports fans, there’s nothing better than watching a live event on TV or at a sports field. But there’s nothing worse than that event being called off because of bad weather. Bad light, a waterlogged pitch (球场) or too much heat can cause matches to be postponed. But according to the latest research, extreme weather might be disturbing the sporting calendar more than ever in the future.
In one sport, golf, major tournaments like The Open, are already predicted to be victims of our changing climate. In the UK, an organization called The Climate Coalition says that golf courses such as the Old Course at St Andrews could be under water by the end of the century if sea level rise even slightly. It told the BBC that its research predicts “cancelled football matches, flooded cricket grounds and golf courses falling apart into the sea.”
The threat to sporting events from climate change has been further highlighted in a new report, officially approved and licensed by the Rapid Transition Alliance. Writing about this for the BBC, Matt McGrath says that “By 2050, it’s estimated that almost one in four English football league grounds can expect flooding every year.” This will mean fewer matches played, less opportunity to watch the beautiful game and reduced government taxation from ticket sales.
Cricket also faces huge challenges globally as temperatures rise in places like India, Australia and the West Indies. The report says that stadiums in Adelaide and Perth will see a 60% increase in days with temperatures over 40℃, over the next decade.
Of course, we know that the solution lies in reducing our carbon footprint. We could travel less to attend sports events, and reduce our waste when we do go. But this latest report finds that sports leaders are generally failing to address the issue seriously. However, because sport is universally popular and can be very influential, maybe it should be players, teams, their sponsors as well as fans who promote a low-carbon message to help protect sports fields — before it’s “game over”.
1. What’s the latest research above mainly concerned with?| A．The rising sea level. | B．The disappearing sporting events. |
| C．The severe environmental pollution. | D．The influence of climate change on sports. |
| A．Football fans cannot afford the entrance fee. |
| B．Overheating will largely affect the cricket calendar. |

【推荐2】Why Is There an Offside(越位)Rule in Soccer?
The offside rule is one of the most important and significant rules in the game of soccer. It is one of the core influencers of game play, formations, and how the sport is played as a whole.
To get the official rule we have to consult the rulebook of IFAB(International Football Association Board). It is the organization that governs the laws of soccer. It is an independent body and the only organization authorized to decide and agree on changes to the Laws of the Game.
Without the offside rule, soccer would descend to a game where the ball is hit from one end of the pitch to the other, with all players competing to score in a sea of mess. It would be an unrecognizable game.
Thankfully, instead of this, we have “the beautiful game”: the most popular sport in the world, full of excitement, skill, athleticism, and tactical guile(战术诡计).
It’s not an offense to simply be in an offside position. If involved in active play from a touch by a teammate, the player in an offside position will be subsequently ruled offside and an indirect free-kick will be ruled against them. Becoming “involved in active play” infers that a player:
·Interferes with play by touching a ball that is passed or touched by a teammate.
·Prevents an opponent by obstructing their vision, by challenging them for the ball, or by making an obvious action to impact their ability to get the ball.
·Gains an advantage or interferes with an opponent when the ball is rebounded from the post, cross-bar, opponent or match official.
There are several pages of more specific circumstances and situations where offside can occur in the IFAB rulebook. However, these are the small print and are not important to discuss in general terms.
| A．If you want to read up on these finer details, check out the IFAB rulebook and skip to page 98. |
| B．Offside can be incorporated into certain tactical and formational plans made by coaches. |
| C．It dictates what positions players occupy on the field, as well as when and where the ball is passed. |
| D．However, it is a risky attempt, particularly in the VAR era, where the defense cannot deceive the match officials. |
| E．There are of course some exceptions to this offside rule. |
| F．However, despite what has been said above, many people still don’t fully understand the rule. |
