Play Ball!
If someone asks you to go to an association football(英式足球)game, will you be interested? Association football is known as soccer in the US. It is the world most widely played sport. Games similar to soccer were played as long as two thousand years ago in China! Modem soccer got its name from association football, a game played in England in the mid-1800s. The word association was shortened to assoc and it was finally turned into soccer.
The first soccer clubs were formed in England in the 1850s. The first professional(职业的)players joined in the 1880s. Soccer quickly spread across Europe and became very popular in countries such as Spain, Italy, and Germany. Soccer even spread to countries in faraway South America. People seemed to like how simple the game is. All you need to play are a ball and two goals. Everything else comes from the players. Soccer still remains very popular in both Europe and South America.
One of the best and most famous of these professionals is Edson Arantes do Nascimento. He is better known by his
Nickname, Pelé. Pelé was born in Brail, a country in South America. With Pelé's help, Brazil won three World Cup titles from the late 1950s to the early 1970s. Today, he is still one of the all-time leading scorers in World Cup history with12 goals. The International Olympic Committee named Pelé Soccer Player of the Century in 1999.
The World Cup is the worldwide soccer competition that is held every four years, once for women and once for men. Millions of people worldwide watch the matches on television. The first Women's World Cup match was played in 1991 in China.
It took longer for soccer to be accepted in the US than it did in other places around the world. A different kind of football was already played in this country. People were not eager(热切的)to try another form. After Pelé joined the New York Cosmos in 1975, soccer became more popular in the US. It continues to grow in popularity. Today, soccer is the second favorite sport for kids in the US!

Imagine you could remember everything that ever happened to you. The detail(细节)of every book you have ever read. Every moment in class you have ever taken. A perfect memory sounds like a wish come true, doesn't it?
But as the old saying goes, Be careful what you wish for. Believe it or not, there are some people in the world who have near perfect memories of their experiences. They remember almost every detail about almost every day of their lives. People with this ability have a "highly superior autobiographical memory(超级自传体记忆)," or HSAM.
If you are asked this evening to describe the events of your day in as much as detail as possible, you will probably do pretty well. But if I ask you to provide details about what you did on March 3, 2012, do you know what day of the week it was? What did you eat for lunch? Was it cold that day? You would have no idea where to even begin.
A person with HSAM would be able to provide all those details for almost any day of his or her life. In addition to(除了)every great moment they remember, they also remember each time they were embarrassed(难堪)or deeply sad. The negative(消极的)events replay in their minds in equal detail as the great moments. Sometimes,forgetting isn’t such a bad thing.
In fact, for most of us, forgetting is a natural part of how our brains function(运转). If we don't need to remember something or try to make an effort to remember it, the information fades away(消逝)and is lost. But for those people with HSAM, the problem is that they are unable to forget. All of their experiences, even the most unimportant, remain clear to them all the time.
Research has shown that the brains of people with HSAM do not simply function differently than other brains; their brains are structurally different. By studying the brains of people with HSAM, scientists may be able to find ways of helping others have better memories—not perfect memories with an inability to forget, but better memories.
