【推荐2】Lacrosse (曲棍球) is a popular sport in Canada. The Indians in Canada invented it. They used it to train for war. They invented this game before Columbus arrived in the New World.

People play lacrosse outdoors. The lacrosse field is seven meters long. At each end of the field there is a goal. The goal is a net. There are ten players on each team. Each player has a stick called “ cross”. The player hit a ball into the net as many times as possible. Lacrosse is a very fast game because the players can catch and pass the ball at a high speed with their sticks. Players often get great fun it playing lacrosse.

There are many lacrosse clubs and lacrosse teams all over Canada. Every night Canadians can watch the lacrosse games on TV or listen to the lacrosse games over the radio.

At one time lacrosse was the national summer sport in Canada. Today it is still popular with Canadians.

Etenesh Diro had almost completed two thirds of the 3000m steeplechase, when disaster struck.     1     She got tangled up with some other competitors. It made her fall. Her right shoe started to come off.     2     She tried to pull the shoe back on, but it cost her precious time. One after the other, the runners overtook her.     3     She threw the shoe away. This meant she could get up quickly and fight for her position in the race.     4     She ran the rest of the race with just one shoe on and her right foot bare. It raised a big cheer for her. Luckily, she was later given a chance to compete in the final.     5     She lost a shoe. But it didn’t keep her from taking part. This is the true spirit of sport.

【推荐3】Estimated to have appeared around 200m years after the events of the big bang, the first stars of the universe suddenly came into being, shedding light in the darkness. These stars produced the essential building blocks for entire galaxies (银河系), for planets, and for the creation of life in the universe.

In this fascinating masterclass with Dr Emma Chapman, the author of First Light: Switching on Stars at the Dawn of Time, she will attempt to fill in the missing first one billion years from the timeline of the universe, by revealing more about the earliest stars — how they were formed and why they were so unusual.

Emma will also discuss recent discoveries in astrophysics, including what the James Webb space telescope is revealing to us about the origins of the universe, and what the next big missions in space exploration will be.

But in recent years, smaller, more local craft breweries (啤酒厂) have been on the rise, necessitating globe-trotting to gain a taste of the regional takes on the classics.
