四、阅读填空
Thomas J. Scheuer comes from the US. He studies at a u 1 in Beijing and also works as a professional ping-pong player.
Why do Chinese players always dominate(称霸) the major ping-pong events? Scheuer heard that one of the r 2 is that there is a large fan base for the sport in the country. Almost everyone can play a little. To see w 3 it was true, he went to a park and visited a club to find out.
At a park in Beijing, Scheuer saw many old people playing ping-pong. He was a 4 by the active scene. One of them told him that he had been playing the sport for more than 50 years. He spends about two hours on it every day. He was even n 5 one of the "Beijing Masters" when he was 70. "I've noticed that I'm the y 6 player in the park," said Scheuer.
Then Scheuer visited a ping-pong club. There, many children were practising. A boy said he hoped that he could be an excellent player like Ma Long one day. A girl said playing ping-pong helped her relax a 7 doing schoolwork.
The visits made Scheuer truly appreciate the enthusiasm(热情) that Chinese people have for ping-pong. "Dubbed(授予称号) as China's 'n 8 sport', ping-pong is as popular in China as football and basketball are worldwide," Scheuer said.
Scheuer was also impressed to find that Chinese people of all age groups take part in the sport, not just to be w 9 but also to have fun, to socialize(社交), and to live a healthy lifestyle. Such a s 10 touched him. Moreover, he confirmed again that it is love that makes things simple.
