THE MATCH
There never was a time when the world was without fire, but there was a time when men did not know how to kindle fire; and after they
learned how to kindle one, it was a long, long time before they learned how to kindle one easily. In these days we can kindle a fire without any
trouble, because we can easily get a match; but we must remember that the match is one of the most wonderful things in the world, and that it
took men thousands of years
to learn how to make one. Let us learn the history of this familiar little object, the match.
Fire was first given to man by nature itself. When a forest is set on fire by cinders from a neighboring volcano, or when a tree is set ablaze by a
thunderbolt, we may say that nature strikes a match. In the early history of the world, nature had to kindle all the fires, for man by his own
effort was unable to produce a spark. The first method, then, of getting fire for use was to light sticks of wood at a flame kindled by nature-by
a volcano, perhaps, or by a stroke of lightning. These firebrands were carried to the home and used in kindling the fires there. The fire secured
in this way was carefully guarded and was kept burning as long as possible. But the flame, however faithfully watched, would sometimes be
extinguished. A sudden gust of wind or a sudden shower would put it out. Then a new firebrand would have to be secured, and this often
meant a long journey and a deal of trouble.
In 1827, John Walker, a druggist in a small English town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it
on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. The druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. It is called friction-
chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. Although Walker's match did not require the bottle of
acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. It could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. In a few
years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. The match could now be lighted with
very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. It would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and
there was no longer any sputtering. This was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar.

What impression is given of Gareth Bale in this report?


Story: Gareth Bale today hit back at accusations that he

dives by claiming he is just trying to protect himself

from serious injury.

The Tottenham winger has been criticised this

season for “going to ground” too easily and

Stevenage manager Gary Smith was unhappy that

Bale was granted a penalty when challenged by

Mark Roberts last night.

‘I tend not to dive’, insists Bale

Doubts were also expressed about the

spot-kick awarded to Bale during the north London

derby last month, yet the Welshman insists he has

no option but to take evasive action from aggressive,

dirty tackles: “I try not to get in the way of tackles and if people want to say I’m diving then

they can but I’m trying to get out of the way and save myself, save my career if you like”,

he said. “You’ve got people flying in at you.



“If you stand there, you’re going to get a whack. Sometimes it looks like you’re diving but if

someone’s coming across you, you try to get out of the way. You can see why people say

you’re diving but I’d rather dive – meaning get out of the way - than get hurt. I tend not to

dive”.

Harry Redknapp has blasted claims that Gareth Bale is a diver – saying:

He just gets kicked all the time!

Spurs manager Harry Redknapp defended his player recently saying, “I don’t think he

dives”, but also suggested that Bale would need to accept that rough treatment will

increase as his reputation grows. Redknapp used the examples of Lionel Messi and

Cristiano Renaldo, probably the two most tightly-marked players in the game, to show Bale

what he can expect as his career develops.

He believes Bale should regard it as a compliment if teams seek to stop him by illegal

means and the 22-year old admitted he takes a degree of confidence from the way he is​

“Improving Your Luck”
I am a great believer in luck, and I find the harder I work the more I have of it.
—Thomas Jefferson
When we think of luck, we think of happy things happening; things that we did nothing to deserve. “Wow, I really aced that test. I’m so lucky!” “Yeah, I won the race, but it was really just luck.”

Luck is unpredictable. It involves being in the right place at the right time, something none of us can count on doing with regularity. It does involve chance. But luck is something not entirely out of your control: you can become a luckier person by focusing on three aspects of life: attitude, expectations, and opportunities.
Lucky people have positive attitudes. If a person who considers herself lucky and a person who considers himself unlucky find themselves in an automobile accident, their descriptions of the event will vary greatly. The lucky person will be glad that she wasn’t hurt badly in the accident, while the unlucky person will consider being in an accident at all a sign of his bad luck. When you find yourself in an unpleasant situation, focus on the positive aspects of the circumstances. Consider how things could have turned out worse and be glad they didn't.
Lucky people have positive expectations. When a lucky person settles down to study for an exam, he anticipates that his efforts will lead to success. When an unlucky person considers studying for the same exam, he may decide that his time would be better spent playing video games because he never has any luck when it comes to taking tests. Which person do you think is more likely to experience “luck” when the exams are handed out?

Finally, because lucky people have positive attitudes and expectations, they see more opportunities in life. Lucky people tend to vary their routines more than unlucky people; they try new activities and speak more often with new people. Having more experiences leads to more opportunities. Encountering more opportunities increases the chances that one of those opportunities will be exactly what you were hoping for.
Why not take your first steps toward becoming a luckier person today? Try this: First, think of three positive events that you’ve been involved with this week. Next, think of three positive outcomes you’d like to see occur in your life soon. Finally, go out in the world and see what you can do toward making those outcomes a reality. You can’t always wait for luck to come to you. Sometimes, you need to chase it down.

Summarize the authors words and describe what she accomplishes in the 2 paragraphs below.

Paragraph 1 - If so, it will not be the first time that such a mass exodus from reality to games has occurred. Indeed, the very first written history of human gameplay, Herodotus' Histories, the ancient Greek account of the Persian Wars - dating back more than three thousand years - describe a nearly identical scenario. While the oldest known game is the ancient counting game Mancala - evidence shows it was play during Egypt's age of empires, or the fifteenth to the eleventh centuries BC - it was not until Herodotus that anyone thought to record the origins or cultural functions of these games. And from his ancient text, we can learn a great deal about what's happening today - and what's almost certainly coming next.

Paragraph 2 - It's a bit counterintuitive to think about the feature in terms of the past. But as a research director at the Institute for the Future - a nonprofit think tank in Palo Alto, California, and the world's oldest future-forecasting organization - I've learned an important trick: to develop foresight, you need to practice hindsight. Technologies cultures, and climates may change, but our basic human needs are desires - to survive, to care for our families, and to lead happy, purposeful lives - remain the same. So at IFTF we like to say, "To understand the future, you have to look back at least twice as far as you're looking ahead." Fortunately, when it comes to games, we can look even farther back than that. Games have been a fundamental part of human civilization for thousands of years.
