Many sports need the services of one or more referees(裁判). You will find, for example, referees in swimming, diving competitions, football, skating, basketball, and tennis, among others. The referee's judgement, no matter what the sport is, can make the difference between winning and losing.
When a decision is announced, one can often hear loud cheering from the spectators(观众). Sometimes the people don't agree with the decision. Usually, however, no matter what the people think, the decision of the judge is final. With the instant replay television viewers often get a second chance to watch the special sports moments. Should the camera help the referees in making their decisions? Some people think so. The Japanese have been using the television instant replay in one of their sports for some time.
In Japan, where sumo wrestling is thought by many to be the national sport, a wrestler named Taiho was trying to break Futabayama's record of 69 victories. In the 46th match, Futabayama was declared the winner by mistake because the judges had not seen the wrestler's foot leave the circle.
Soon after the mistake, the people said that they had a right to see the match end with the correct winners since they had paid as much as $ 375 for a ringside seat. Now cameras record the actions or wrestlers. The camera is the most important referee of all. If a man or a woman makes a mistake in judgement, the camera will correct it, and the instant replay will let everyone know it. The right winner will win.

People believe that climbing can do good to health. Where can you learn the skill of climbing then? If you think that you have to go to the mountains to learn how to climb,you’re wrong. Many Americans are learning to climb in city gyms(体育馆). Here,people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.
How do people climb the wall? To climb,you need special shoes and a harness(保护带)around your chest to hold you. There are ropes(绳索)tied to your harness. The ropes hold you in place so that you don’t fall. A beginner’s wall is usually about 15 feet high,and you climb straight up. There are small pieces of metal that stick out for you to stand on and hold on to. Sometimes it’s easy to see the new piece of metal. Sometimes, it’s not. The most difficult part is to control your fear. It’s normal for humans to be afraid of falling, so it’s difficult not to feel fear. But when you move away from the wall,the harness and the ropes hold you,and you begin to feel safe. You move slowly until you reach the top.
Climbing attracts people because it’s good exercise for almost everyone. You use your whole body,especially your arms and legs. This sport gives your body a complete workout. When you climb,both your mind and your body can become stronger.
