Nhận biếtRead the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Curling is an event in the Winter Olympics that is played on an ice rink. This event requires a high level of skill and dexterity. The equipment includes stones with handles and brushes to sweep the ice.
Two teams of four compete to get a stone as close as possible to the centre of a series of concentric circles. Hitting the target is more complicated than it seems. The two teams alternate to throw their stones. It is possible to remove a stone from a play area by hitting it with another stone or to use a stone to protect another stone. To assist in the progress of the stone across the ice, the other players will use their brushes to sweep the path in front of the stone so as to influence the direction and distance it can travel.
In sixteenth century Scotland, stones were taken from the bottom of ponds. In North America, the metal-rimmed hubcaps of carriages with handles attached were used. In eighteenth century Canada, there were iron "stones" that weighed more than thirty kilograms. The game would have required more strength in the past than today.
Curling was first introduced as a break from the drudgery of work and a way of alleviating the monotony of the long winters. Curling is catching on today. There is an increase in the number of countries taking part in the Winter Olympics for this event. Ever since the beginning, this game has been enjoyed by both the young and old.
