29、know Wimbledon as the center of lawn tennis. In 1874 it was a country village, but it was the home of the All England Croquet Club. The Club had been there since 1864. A lot of people played croquet in England at that time and enjoyed it, but the national championships did not attract many people. S
30、o the Club had very little money. “This new game of lawn tennis seems to have plenty of action (精彩场面 ), and people like watching it,“ they thought. “Shall we allow people to play lawn tennis on some of our beautiful croquet lawns?“ In 1877, Wimbledon held the first world lawn tennis championships (m
31、ens singles). Wimbledon grew. There was some surprise and doubt, of course, when the Club allowed women to play in the first womens singles championship in 1884. But the ladies played well - even in long skirts that hid their legs and feet. Until 1907 the winners, both men and women, were always Bri

36、ifully dressed. 63 Maybe 10 years old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father,“But, Dad, you cant be healthy if you are dead.“ Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belta mistake 75% of the US population make every day. The big q
37、uestion is why. There have been many myths about safety belts since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common.
