Wang Hao and Wang Liqin, two of China’s top table tennis players, both saw the World Table Tennis Championships(世锦赛) as a chance to prove themselves. But there was only one trophy(奖杯) and Wang Hao, 25, won it last Tuesday in Yokohama(横滨), Japan.
Wang Hao, who won the men’s doubles title(对打) with Chen Qi last Monday, played with spirit to beat Wang Liqin.
Wang Hao said it was his mental toughness(心理韧性) that made the difference. “I was disappointed(失望) by my performances in past championships and the last two Olympic Games. But I have tried to pull myself together and prepared well. This is the result.”
Wang Hao said he has always understood the importance of physical training(体能训练) and technical skills(技巧). Now he knows the need for mental preparation as well. Having two Olympics silvers(银牌) had left him feeling bitter(辛苦的). The bitterness perhaps explains why he has not always played at his best in the past.
“I’ve come to understand that you can learn important lessons from failure,” he said. “Losing can build your character and make you a stronger player.” His next goal, or dream, is to win the gold medal at the London Olympics in 2012.
Liu Guoliang, head coach of China’s table tennis team, sang the praises of Wang Hao’s victory. “This is just the beginning of his rise,” said Liu. “it’s the confidence-booster(信心) he needs to make further progress.”

The Green Magic Tree House, in India, is the perfect hotel for anybody who likes adventure(冒险). Guests must drive for miles through the jungle to find it in the middle of tea and coffee plantation (种植园).

There are two tree houses to choose from, one 30 meters and the other 35 meters above the ground. Both houses have two floors. The bedrooms are above the living area and there are bathrooms and showers. You can get up to rooms and move between floors by using ladders (梯子). You can go from one tree house to the other on a rope bridge. The houses sometimes move about in the wind but the views are fantastic.

Guests can enjoy moving through the jungle, climbing in the mountains, and watching wildlife. There are many unusual plants, birds, and insects in the area.

The Ice Hotel is in Jukkasjarvi, a village in Sweden 200 kilometers north of the Arctic(北极)Circle. Every winter, a team of architects(建筑师), designers and snow builders build the hotel. This year there are 80 rooms.

Everything is made of ice. The walls, the floors, the ceilings(顶棚), and even the furniture are made of ice. The beds are made of ice, too, but guests sleep on warm deer skins. Outside it can be -37℃, so inside it feels quite comfortable. The hotel has a bar, where guests can drink vodka(伏特加) from glasses made of ice. It's very popular — because there isn't much else to do.

To spend a night at Jules Underwater Lodge in Florida, guests need to scuba dive (潜水) seven meters under the sea. They enter a small house through a door at the bottom of the building. Inside, the kitchen is stored with food and there is a fridge and a microwave oven(微波炉). There is a hot shower and comfortable beds and lots of books, DVDs and video games. Most guests, however, spend their time at one of the large windows watching different fishes swimming by.
