There is a new sport in America. It’s a game called “Earthball”. “Earthball” is like a huge beach ball. While you are playing the game, you should try to keep the ball in the air if possible. As the ball is so big, lots of people have to play together. A man called Stuart Frand invented the game. There are no winners or losers in the game. The idea is just to enjoy yourself as much as you can.

“Earthball” is just one of the games in a “New Game Festival”. The festival was first held in the countryside near San Francisco, in the USA; Perhaps other countries can follow the example of the men from California and have festivals to try out new games－it sounds like a good idea.

閱讀短文 判斷下列句子是否符合短文內(nèi)容。符合寫（T）不符合寫（F）。Want to say "hello" from Disneyland? Send a post card!

Beautiful scenes（戲�。�of paradise (樂園), wild animals, silly pictures — you can find them all in one place. Where? On a post card! Have people always sent post cards? No. Before post cards, people liked sealed letters.

The idea for the first decorated (裝飾) post card came to John P. Charlton in 1861. He thought a simple card with decorations would be a great way to send a note. Then in the late 1800s, post cards with pictures appeared. By law, people had to write their note on the front ——on the picture! The back was only for the address. Several years later, England allowed a divided-back post card. Then people could write their note on the back left side and put the address on the right. During the early 1900s, the golden age of post cards, picture post cards became a craze of the world. In 1908, Americans alone mailed over 677 million post cards. Today, post cards are the third most popular collection in the world after stamps and coins.

1.We can see some silly pictures on the post cards.

2.Post cards were produced before sealed letters.

3.In 1861, the first decorated post card appeared.

4.Post cards were most popular during the early 1900s.

5.Stamps, coins and post cards are the most popular collections in the world.
