Passage 3

　　During this season, the Challenge Club played 42 matches: of these, 34 were League and Cup games, and the rest were friendly matches. In the League, the Club finished in third place. Out of 28 League games, 16 were won, 8 were drawn and 4 were lost, while the Club managed to reach the semi-final of the Challenge Cup for the first time in its history. Of the 8 friendly matches, 4 were won, 2 were drawn, and 2 were lost, but these defeats were at the hands of visiting teams whose standards were generally much higher than those of players of this area.

　　At the same time, the standard of play shown by the team was markedly superior to that seen in previous years, and this success is largely due to the intensive training programme which has been supervised by the team captain, in this connection, the provision of adequate graining facilities must remain a priority, and the building up of an indoor gym or hall in which the players can practise on wet evenings is essential. It would do much to supplement the outdoor training being carried on, and would help the Club receive younger players.

　　與此同時(shí),標(biāo)準(zhǔn)所表現(xiàn)出的球隊(duì)發(fā)揮顯著優(yōu)于看到在過去幾年,這成功在很大程度上由于密集的訓(xùn)練課程已由郡守隊(duì)長,在這方面,提供足夠的木紋設(shè)施必須保持一個(gè)優(yōu)先級,并且建立一個(gè)室內(nèi)攀巖場或大廳的球員在濕晚上可以練習(xí)是必要的。它也會補(bǔ)充戶外訓(xùn)練正在進(jìn)行,并會幫助俱樂部獲得的年輕球員�！�

　　There are now 28 players joined in the Club, and many more have asked to join but have been turned down. With the improvement in the financial position, concerning which the Treasurer will report in a minute, the Committee considers. Entering a team in the Sceond Division of the League.

　　Passage 4

　　"不幸的是，計(jì)算并不是在學(xué)校里，我們研究的一部分"他說，"但我一直學(xué)習(xí)它的書籍和雜志的四年中我的業(yè)余時(shí)間。我知道我想做的從未考慮過呆在學(xué)校。在這筆生意中的大多數(shù)人都相當(dāng)年輕，無論如何。"
