Question

【题目】The game of curling(冰壶) is more than 500 years old. But curling did not appear as an Olympic sport until the 1998 Winter Games with both men’s and women’s championships. At the games, two teams play against each other at a time. The game is played on ice, and the two teams take turns pushing 19.1-kilogram stones towards several concentric (同心的) rings or circles. Their aim is to get the stones as close to the center of the rings as possible. One game is made up of 10“ends”. During each end, each four-person team “throws” eight stones. Team members sweep the ice clean in front of each stone to control the stone’s direction and the stone’s speed(速度). The team with the fewest points at the end of the game,is the loser.
