An early form of a game in which a ball was kicked around a field is recorded in 1004 B. C. Japan. Some sports historians believe that the game of soccer began in England in the third century. They say that early English warriors(武士) kicked around the head of a killed enemy. This may or may not be true but it is certain that soccer is an ancient sport.
Without doubt, the English played soccer during the times of King Edward I in the 1300s. In fact, the king passed a law against playing it. The law said,“There is great noise caused by kicking large balls from which many ghosts may appear.”Anyone caught playing soccer at that time was put into prison. Two hundred years later, Queen Elizabeth I still had people put into prison for playing this“vulgar”sport. Although there were such laws, soccer grew more popular. In 1681 it became an official(正式的) sport in England. By the 1800s, people throughout the country played soccer. By the 18th century upper-class boys played it at schools. Its popularity grew among all English people.
At a meeting held in an English school in 1843, the first rules were suggested. In 1863 the heads of English soccer teams me t in London to ag ree on some official rules. They organized an English football association(协会). By 1871 all of the English clubs were following these rules. Today all soccer teams play by them.
Soccer is called“football”everywhere but in the United States. The game is played mostly with feet. No players except the goalie(守门员) may touch the ball with their hands. They may control the ball with any part of the body except their hands.
Soccer is by far the world's most popular sport. Every four years, nearly every country in the world fights for the World Cup. Tens of billions of soccer fans from around the world watch the World Cup on television.

The blue whale is the largest animal that has ever lived on the earth. It weighs about 181 tons and grows as long as 33 meters. Adult female blue whales are larger than adult-males. The blue whale's heart alone is the size of a small car!
The blue whale lives mostly in cold or temperate(温和的) waters. It prefers deeper ocean waters. Its large part of diet is shrimps(小虾), which it eats during the summer feeding season. During the other 8 months of the year, it doesn't eat anything.
Blue whales have very deep voices. The sound a blue whale makes can travel thousands of miles in deep waters. So the whales may be able to communicate with each other across oceans.
Blue whales usually live alone or in pairs, although they may gather in groups to feed. And paired adult blue whales are usually a male and a female. Often, the same two whales will be seen together over a long period of time.
Blue whales were about 90% of the whaling industry's total catch during the early 20th century. In 1931alone, almost 30,000 blue whales were killed. By 1966 there had been so few blue whales that the International Whaling Commission(国际捕鲸委员会) called for the whale protection. In 2000 it was found that there were fewer than 10,000 blue whales left. So we should protect them.
