Spring finally arrived. This past winter was a long, cold, and snowy one. Gonzalo was ready to get outdoors and play some sports. However, because Gonzalo was new

in town, he didn’t have many friends. He decided to try and get some of his classmates together. He put up a card in the classroom. The card invited boys to meet Gonzalo at a nearby park on Saturday for a football game. Football was Gonzalo’s favorite sport. He played it ever since he was a kid.

On Saturday morning, Gonzalo walked to the park early. He wanted to be the first one there to meet everyone. But he was a little worried that his classmates wouldn’t show up. Slowly but surely, Gonzalo’s classmates began coming to the park. Gonzalo was certain they would have a great game.

“I brought a ball,” Gonzalo told one of his classmates Leo, who said he also brought a ball. Leo said he was a huge football fan. Both Leo and Gonzalo went to their schoolbags to get their balls. That’s when they realized their balls were different.

Leo’s ball was oblong (椭圆形的) and brown, while Gonzalo’s ball was a round soccer ball. Gonzalo had forgotten that in the United States football and soccer were different sports. Leo had forgotten that, too. They compromised (妥协) and played one game of soccer and one game of American football. 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。

Shubham Banerjee is a boy from San Jose, California. Last year, after about a month’s hard work, he finished building a Braille printer out of Legos. It is a writing system for people who are blind to read. His invention cut the price of a Braille printer from more than $2,000 to about $350. With the help of his family, he even started his own company (公司) named Braigo Labs.
