The ball struck the bat and flew high, above the infield. I gasped (倒抽气）. Oh my gosh, it's heading for Mitzi, Mitzi will never catch it. I don't think she has ever caught a fly ball in her life. I wish Coach Jim wouldn't have put her into the game. I know it's the rule that all girls play, but 1 want to win. Mitzi just wants to have fun playing softball (垒球）.I wish she hadn't joined our team.

So far we've won nine games. If we win this one, we' 11 have won- all of our games and be the champions, Oh, gosh, look at Coach Jim. He's standing up and watching the flight of the ball too and I bet he's thinking the same thing that I am. If Mitzi doesn't catch it, the other team will score and the game will be over. I've got a sick feeling in my stomach. I can't look, but I have to. Look at her. She has her glove down by her side and she's moving around.

Now the ball is starting to come down. Mitzi isn't moving anymore and she isn't back far enough. It's going over her head. I can hear our coach yelling from the bench. Back up Mitzi. Back up. Oh, God, I want to win this game so bad. Please let Mitzi catch the ball.

It's there. The ball has slammed into her glove and Mitzi’s arm is back over her shoulder. I'm closing my eyes. I can't look anymore.

It’s that? I hear a yell and then another one. I don' t want to look. It must be the girls on the other team yelling. But that sounds like Mitzi yelling. I ’ m going to peek (偷看).Mitzi is jumping up and down with her glove held high above her head and sticking out of the top of her glove, like an ice cream in a cone (圆锥体), is the softball. Mitzi caught the ball. We're the champions.

Mitzi, Mitzi. That was a great catch. I'm so glad you're playing on our team.

While football fans feel strongly angry and shocked about mistakes made by referees (裁判) because they cannot see clearly what has happened, a small German company is quietly pleased.

For Carlos Technologies, mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy. The company has developed a tiny chip(芯片) that fits inside a football and determines whether the ball has crossed the goal line, by being able to discover its exact location on the field. The world football organization, FIFA, has shown interest in the technology. It is very possible that the new technology will be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

"We've been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more recently in an under-17 FIFA Cup in Peru," said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company. "The technology has performed well, and we're pretty optimistic that it will be used at the games in Germany next year."

The chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football. It sends 2,000 signals a second to a receiver network of 12 antennas(天线),placed around the field. The receivers then send information about the ball's location to a central computer, and because it works in real time, it can immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored. The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air. Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive. Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip in other ball sports.

FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next year's World Cup.

Carlos Technologies is pleased because ________.

A. football fans are angry with referees

B. their new product can satisfy football fans

C. their new product will have a good market

D. they can sell a lot of football in the future

In the first sentence in Paragraph 2,"... mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy" means ___________.

A. Carlos Technologies can't afford the high price for advertising their product

B. Mistakes in production are also a kind of advertisement

C. Carlos Technologies has already spent a lot of money on advertising their product

D. Referees' mistakes will be of great help for the sale of Carlos Technologies' new product

The underlined word "feedback" probably means ___________.

A. information given back by a user B. advice given by someone

C. supplying food to customers D. food given back by consumers

The new product has drawn attention from some _________.

A. famous people B. referees C. big companies D. countries

Davey wanted to play baseball. But fifty years ago, in his small town, he couldn’t find enough players for two full teams or an empty lot big enough for a field. And when he played ball in his back yard, he just broke windows and got into trouble. So Davey began playing with a plastic golf ball and a broom handle for a bat.
When his dad, David Mullaney, a former semi-pro baseball pitcher(投手), realized his son was hurting his arm trying to throw curves with the little plastic ball, he decided to find a better solution. Mullaney got a bunch of hollow plastic spheres from a local factory, sat down at his kitchen table and began cutting different size holes in the balls with a razor knife. He thought maybe the holes would alter the ball’s flight and help his son throw curves and sliders without hurting his arm.
All the balls failed—except the one with the eight oblong(长椭圆形的) holes cut into one of the hemispheres. This ball curved naturally and sharply without a violent snap of the wrist. In fact, Davey was now striking out so many batters; he called his new ball a “wiffle ball”. A year later, Mullaney borrowed $20,000 from family and friends and started producing Wiffle Balls in his little suburban town of Shelton, Connecticut.
“I didn’t want investors.” He said, “I wanted to control my own company.” This was the beginning of one of the hottest fads(时尚) of the fifties and a perennial(长久的) best seller well known all around the world. Since then millions of boys and girls have enjoyed countless hours of safe, wholesome fun playing with a Wiffle ball and bat. Esquire Magazine has even called the Wiffle Ball “a national treasure”. By producing a high quality product at an affordable price, three generations of Mullany’s have enjoyed the satisfaction and benefits of running a successful and profitable family business.
Over the years, they’ve had plenty of offers to buy them out, but they’re still working out of a small factory in Shelton, making a new Wiffle Ball every couple of seconds. Creativity and persistence are two of the important sources for wealth. If he gave up his attempts at trying new things, Mullany would not have invented the wiffle ball, nor would he have made such a big fortune.
