(2026·石家庄毕业班质检)Like a lot of Canadians, Andrew Suboch grew up knowing little about Canada's national game—lacrosse (长曲棍球), other than watching some neighbours pass a ball using old wooden sticks.

It was only when his two children started playing the game as part of their training for hockey (冰球) that he took much notice. His son, Jack, went on to excel at lacrosse and he now plays for the Vancouver Warriors of the National Lacrosse League.

Both children came up through the Mimico Minor Lacrosse Club, in the Toronto area, which has been around since 1890. When the number of players in the kids' league began falling in 2014, Mr. Suboch, who is a personal injury lawyer in Toronto, volunteered to step in. He offered to sponsor the “Baby Peanut” program, which introduced children ages 3 and 4 to the game.

Thanks to his sponsorship, more than 100 children play for free each spring for eight weeks. They spend an hour every Saturday learning the game and every player is given a lightweight stick and a shirt.“They are taught to catch, throw, pass and shoot，” he said.“You get them running around. Get them away from the screen. It is our national game, so you get them exposed. And sure enough, they caught__on．”

To fund the program, Mr. Suboch came up with a novel idea. He started searching his neighbourhood for used appliances, metal and electronic items, such as computers and cellphones. He sorted the material and sold it to a local recycling centre.“Word has gotten out, so people now will give me their used electronics and metal stuff，” he said. The recycling effort raises around $20，000 annually, which covers the cost of the lacrosse  program.

 Mr. Suboch said watching the kids play has given him a lot of satisfaction and joy. Not only is far less junk going to landfill sites, he said, but “we've also got kids

who are not in front of a screen.”

(2026·豫西北联盟第一次质检)Training was cruel, as Penny Lee Dean prepared for what would be a record-setting swim—regardless of sex—across the English Channel in 1978.“Your hands cramp (痉挛), and your legs cramp，” she remembers.

While the cold was bone-chilling, overcoming it has been essential to her success as a record-breaking swimmer. An ability to tolerate extreme cold is one of the advantages that women may have in this sport, as their distribution of fat is helpful for regulating body temperature in cold water.

Dean believes that any upper hand women might have in open-water swimming over long distances is more about mental adaptation and the ability to bear discomfort than about insulation (隔绝). In ultradistance events, the ability to handle more factors, from weather to pain, becomes particularly important.

In fact, women can outperform or perform similarly to men in a range of competitive events. From ultrarunning to shooting sports, in some competitions women have__the__edge．Cassio Rippel, the ISSF Athletes Committee Chair, says that while men's muscles tend to give them more staying power, women's lower body mass and lower centre of gravity, on average, allow them better balance control. The rifle (步枪) events are the most sex-balanced of the three types of shooting events in the Olympics, according to Rippel.

The century-long history of the Olympics is also a history of the growth of female empowerment. An increasing number of female athletes have broken gender barriers, achieving remarkable success in traditionally male-dominated sports. The
