The tournament, due to finish on October 23, is living up to the famous English saying, “Rugby is a thug39。s (暴徒) game played gentlemen. ” The games are physically aggressive。 the tackles (沖撞) on the pitch are brutal。 but the end of each match is a civilized affair. Players shake hands and applaud each other. Of course, the other side to this saying is: Football is a gentleman39。s game played by thugs. Indeed, unlike soccer players, rugby players don39。t often question the referee39。s (裁判員) decisions or pretend to be injured when they are not. “Football could learn a lot from rugby, said Brian Moore, a former England rugby player The wonderful spirit of rugby is: there is a gentlemanly code to it. You play hard on the pitch, but you always respect your opponent.. Rugby is mainly played in Europe. Australia, New Zealand and parts of Africa. It is more enjoyable to play than soccer because you are always involved in the game, said Peter, a Welsh rugby coach. Rugby is also a far superior test of strength, stamina (耐力) and determination.

Black eyes, broken bones, lost teeth and being knocked unconscious—all these are mon injuries. Former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is blind in one eye thanks to a rugby accident at school. In England, children begin playing the game at school at the age of 8. When they enter high school, many begin to play full contact rugby. Children are taught to play for around one hour a week during their PE lessons. Most schools have a rugby team.

On this planet at least, man is nothing more than a memoryif there is anything left to remember the wise man. But what about our wisdomwill any of it survive us? The conventional answer is no. Knowledge requires a knower, and there will be no knowing minds around then. But if information survives, perhaps in books or hard drives, maybe the knowledge isn39。t quite dead but dormant(休眠), ready to bee alive with the help of other minds that develop over time or e to visit Earth in the distant future. At first sight, that seems to be reasonable: after all, we have done similar things with past knowledge. For examp
