A Fantastic New Idea.

Eighty years ago, Mr. Goode of Putney, South London, went to the
chemist’s to buy some aspirin. In the shop, he almost forgot about his tablets as he
stood looking at the pimpled rubber mat on the counter. It has given him a fantastic
new idea.
He paid for his aspirin and the rubber mat. Then he rushed home, cut the
rubber mat to the right shape and size and stuck it to his wooden table tennis bat.
The thin layer of rubber helped him put a very fast spin on the ball. When he
became the English champion, everyone started copying him, putting rubber layer
on their bats, and soon Mr. Goode’s clever idea completely changed the style and
speed of table tennis.
Table tennis was first invented in England in about 1880. At first the game
had several strange names: Gossima, Whiff Whaff and Ping Pong. It wasn’t until
1926 that the international Table Tennis Association was formed with international
championship and rules. One of the rules was that the rubber lining of the bat (Mr.
Goode’s invention) couldn’t be more than two millimeters thick in each side.

Questions:
1) Where did Mr. Goode live?
2) Where did he see the pimpled rubber mat?
3) What did he do with rubber layer?
4) In what way did the thin layer of rubber help him?
5) What changed the style and speed of the table tennis?
6) When and where was table tennis first invented?
7) How thick could the rubber lining of the bat be?

considered “national” in Great Britain. Do the exercises after the text.

SPORT IN GREAT BRITAIN

Many kinds of sport originated from England. The English have a proverb,
“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. They do not think that play is more
important than work; they think that Jack will do his work better if he plays as
well, so he is encourages to do both. Association football, or soccer is one of the
most popular games in the British Isles played from late August until the beginning
of May. In summer the English national sport is cricket. When the English say:
“that’s not cricket” it means “that’s not fair”, “to play the games” means “to be
fair”.
Golf is Scotland’s chief contribution to British sport. It is worth nothing
here an interesting feature of sporting life in Britain, namely, its frequently close
connection with the social class of the players or spectators except where a game
may be said to be a “national” sport. This is the case with cricket in England which
is played and watched by all classes. This is true of golf, which is everywhere in
the British Isles a middle-class activity. Rugby Union, the amateur variety of
Rugby football, is the Welsh national sport played by all sections of society
whereas, elsewhere, it too is a game for the middle classes. Association football is
a working-class sport as are boxing, wrestling, snooker, darts and dog-racing. As
far as fishing is concerned it is, apart from being the most popular British sport
from the angle of the number of active participants, a sport where what is caught
determines the class of a fisherman. If it is a salmon or trout it is upper-class, but if
it is the sort of fish found in canals, ponds or the sea, then the angler is almost sure
to be working-class.
Walking and swimming are the two most popular sporting activities, being
almost equally undertaken by men and women. Snooker (billiards), pool and darts
are next most popular sports among men. Aerobics (keep-fit exercises) and yoga,
squash and cycling are among the sports where participation has been increasing in
recent years.
There are several places in Britain associated with a particular kind of
sport. One of them is Wimbledon – a suburb to the south of London where the All-
England Lawn Tennis Championships are held in July (since 1877). The finals of
the tournament are played on the Centre Court. The other one is Wembley – a
stadium in north London where international football matches, the Cup Finals and
other events have taken place since 1923. It can hold over 100000 spectators. The
third one is Derby, the most famous flat race in the English racing calendar, which
has been run at Epsom near London since 1780.
