It may surprise you to know that at every Olympic Games, some sports are added and others taken away. For example, did you know that tug- of- war was once an Olympic sport? It was dropped long ago though. In London2012, women's boxing was added. In Rio 2016, golf and rugby sevens were included. Baseball and softball were dropped after Beijing 2008. but returned for Tokyo 2020. Another sport that got approyed for Tokyo 2020 was climbing. One sport that isn't on the list of Olympic Games, is trampoline dodgeball(蹦床躲避球). Both climbing and trampoline dodgeball are popular with teens. That's because you don't need to invest in lots of expensive equinment. The following is more related information about them.
Dodgeball is a team game in which players throw balls at each other. The objective is to beat the opposing team's players by hitting them with a ball, catching a ball( the thrower is out), or forcing a player out of the court. In trampoline dodgeball, the game is the same but takes place on a court made out of trampolines. The court has a bouncy floor and high bouncy walls. It's surrounded by nets to catch the balls. The action is fast and fun, and you'll always have a soft landing if you fall!
When might trampoline dodgeball be an Olympic sport? Nobody knows! New sports must fulfil many strict rules before they're accepted. For example, trampoline dodgeball will need to have one set of rules that everyone follows. This includes playing in the same- sized court using the same type of ball.

Ancient and Modern Chinese Characters (汉字)
When people write in English they use letters of the alphabet (字母表). People who write in {#blank#}1{#/blank#}, however, use characters that stand for words or ideas. Historians believe Chinese {#blank#}2{#/blank#} began as early as 1,500 BC. The earliest forms were called "oracle bones (甲骨文)". These were animal bones marked with pictures and {#blank#}3{#/blank#}. By 1,400 BC, the Chinese writing system (系统) had become more difficult. It had {#blank#}4{#/blank#} than 2,500 characters. Around 220 BC in Qin Dynasty, Chinese characters became standardized. This means that everyone used the {#blank#}5{#/blank#} characters.
Many {#blank#}6{#/blank#} Chinese characters are similar to those from 2,000 years ago. For example, the character that means man in the Lishu system from 200 BC is similar to the character that {#blank#}7{#/blank#} man from the Jiantizi, or modern simplified system, of the twentieth century.
People have worked to {#blank#}8{#/blank#} Chinese characters over the centuries. The most important changes happened in the twentieth century. The Chinese government simplified many characters {#blank#}9{#/blank#} more people could learn to {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. This simpler system is used in the mainland (大陆) of China and Singapore. {#blank#}11{#/blank#} characters are used in Chinese Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Macao. Even with these changes, Chinese writing from 2,200 years ago is still understood today.
