When kids in parts of the world want to play, they often make soccer balls out of trash tied together with string. “     the areas used for playing fields are often rough and rocky, millions of real balls go flat (变瘪)       24 hours,” says Tim Jahnigen, a California businessman. Determined to solve this problem,        created an indestructible ball called the One World Futbol.
The ball is made of     special material, ethylene-vinyl acetate foam. It’s lightweight, it’s flexible, and—   important—it holds its shape.
The One World Futbol needs no pump       won’t wear out, even on rough surfaces. When tested,     withstood (经受住) being crushed by a car, and even being chewed on by a lion.
Although it costs more to produce      a typical soccer ball, Jahnigen estimates the One World Futbol can last 30 years. So far, it’s been given to kids in 143 countries.  (154 words)

As you may also have learnedfrom the above, you ought to read not only very carefully but also aloud            you learn the passage by heart and can reciteit as if it          (be) your own. On            hand, this will teach you many usefulwords and phrases; on the other hand, it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in expression.
