Curling（冰壶）is a winter sport that goes by two nicknames: “chess on ice” and “the roaring game”. It is called “chess on ice” because it requires strategy（策略）and patience to play well. On a strip of ice that is about 44.5 m long, two teams of four players slide（滑动）heavy stones on the ice towards a target. Brooms are used to sweep the ice and guide the stone. When the stone slides across the ice, it makes a rumbling（隆隆声）sound. This is why curling is also called “the roaring game”.

Curling is a new sport in China. Although it looks simple at first, the sport depends greatly on teamwork, critical thinking（思辨性思维）and self-control.

The cold northeastern city of Harbin is a center for winter sports, and some of China’s top curlers call Harbin home. One of these famous curlers is Wang Bingyu. Her team won the bronze medal at the 2010 Winter Olympics. This was the first Olympic medal that China won in curling and the first team medal that China had ever won in the Winter Olympics.

Wang has retired from curling and now helps to promote the sport. “I believe that I have a duty to make a contribution to the development of curling,” Wang told the World Curling Federation. Wang is the Curling Program Director for the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing.

The Chinese Curling Association（中国冰壶协会）has also worked hard to promote curling and introduce the sport to more people. With events and training programs, the organization is helping the country reach its goal of encouraging 300 million people to take part in winter sports.

24、   A long time ago, there was a big apple tree. A little boy loved to come and played around it every day. He climbed to the tree top, ate the apples, took a nap（小睡） under the shadow. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.

Time went by. The little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree, and he looked sad. “I want toys. I need money to buy them,” he said. “You can pick all my apples and sell them. So you will have money,” The tree said. The boy was so excited. He grabbed all the apples on the tree and left happily.

One day, the boy returned, and the tree was so excited. “I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter(居所). Can you help me? ” “You can chop off my branches（树枝) to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches of the tree and left happily.

One hot summer day, the boy returned, and the tree was delighted. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat? ” “Use my trunks（树干）to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy. ” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time. The tree was happy, but it was not true.

Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don't have anything for you anymore.” The tree said with tears. “I don’t need much now, just a place to rest. I am tired after all these years.” The boy replied. “Good! An old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest. Come, come, sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.
