For Cairos Technologies, mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy. The pany has developed a tiny chip(芯片 ) that fits inside a football and determines whether the ball has crossed the goal line, by being able to discover its exact location on the field. The world football anization, FIFA, has shown interest in the technology. It is very possible that the new technology will be used in the 2021 World Cup in Germany. We39。ve been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more recently in an under17 FIFA Cup in Peru, said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the pany. The technology has performed well, and we39。re pretty optimistic that it will be used at the games in Germany next year. The chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football. It sends 2,000 signals a second to a receiver work of 12 antennas(天線 ),placed around the field. The receivers then send information about the ball39。s location to a central puter, and because it works in real time, it can immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored. The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in midair. Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive. Germany sportswear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip in other ball sports. FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next year39。s World Cup. 63.

English kids discuss the Liverpool39。s football team in a Paris pub. Some Parisians have started to travel to work in London. In the 19th century, Charles Dickens pared the two cities, London and Paris, in A Tale of Two Cities. These days, it might be A tale of One City. As there are few jobs at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across
