The teams had got together to play what they called “football“, but each team played by different rules. One team
22、 played what we now call soccer. The other played what we now call rugby (橄榄球).Both games had been invented a thousand years before. In the first kind of football game ever played, all the men from one village tried to kick a ball into another village. The men of the second village tried to kick the
23、 ball into the first. Hundreds of people joined in, running everywhere, running crops and knocking down fences. In time, people agreed on some rules to keep order, but many roles were left open to change. Different rules developed in different places.When the two colleges met to play football, each

Unlike the body, the memory can improve with age.For many y
28、ears, doctors have been studying the way the brain works. We all know that the brain has two sides, the left and the right. The right side controls the senses (seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting and smelling), and is the creative and imaginative side. The left side of the brain controls our logical t
29、hinking. It processes the information which comes in, and puts it into order, We call the left side the “educated“ side of the brain and generally, in western societies, people have developed this side of the brain more than the fight side.Scientists believe that our brain will work much more effici
30、ently if both the right side and the left side are developed equally. In many schools today, teachers try to educate the children in such a way that both sides of the brain are used. This can be done with logical subjects including mathematics and science as well as with creative subjects such as ar
31、t and literature. The result achieved by students who are educated in this way is usually better than the result of students who are educated in a more traditional way. Traditional teaching tends to exercise the left side of the brain without paying very much attention to the development of the righ
32、t side.great thinkers such as Bertand Russell the Philosopher, and Albert Einstein, the scientist, only in their work, but also in creative and imaginative activities.
