1.Table tennis, also known as ping-pong, is a sport in which two or four players hit a lightweight ball back and forth across a table using small bats. The game takes place on a hard table divided by a net. The sport originated in Victorian England, where it was played among the upper-class as an after-dinner parlour game. It has been suggested that makeshift versions of the game were developed by British military officers in India in around 1860s or 1870s, who brought it back with them.A row of books stood up along the center of the table as a net, two more books served as rackets and were used to continuously hit a golf-ball.

2.Violence should be banned, but not as tolent sports. I was keen on Bodycombat about two years ago, when I first entered the Gym, to find a way to release my unhappiness. When I took part in the Les Mills Bodycombat, I was immediately into this sport. It is a high-energy martial-arts inspired workout, which including boxing, kungfu, Taekwondo and so on.

1.It originated on American in 1891. Yet it has been played about thirty-seven years. It was a PE teacher called Dr. James Naismith, who was teaching at Springfield College in Massachusetts, created this kind of sport. At first he just needed to come up with a game to entertain the players during the winter months. He discovered a basket in a closet by accident. So he decided to hung it on a railing[扶手] about ten feet from the floor. Every time the players made a shot[投射], they had to take down the basket and grab the ball, which became really annoying. Dr. Naismith decided to cut a hole in the basket so the ball would go straight through without them having to dig it out all the time.

2.I don’t think so. Every sport has it’s own rules. Since it has been developed so many years, it becomes more and more standardized now. If the boxers can obey the rules, it will be safe for them. And there is also a referee between them, if there is any emergency, the referee will stop the match by force. Of course, except illegal underground boxing competition. In this kind of place, it usually fulls of violence and a boxer can even be killed during a match.

And they played with tennis pats. From then on , it’s popular in Europe. This is the beginning of Ping pong sports. So we can also call ping pong as table tennis.

2.From ancient times to nowadays, violent sports are enjoyed by many people. Such as: boxing matches, bullfight, American football. All of them are very violent. But they are not disappear but popular as the development of the society. Nowadays, many protecting devices are used in these sports. So, in my opinion, it shouldn’t be banned on the premise of ensuring safety.

1.The oldest surviving manual on western swordsmanship dates to around 1300, although historical references date fencing schools back to the 12th century.

1.Marathon became a competition sport started at the first session of olympic games. There was a story behind of this sport. On 12th Sep. 490 B.C., there happened a war between Persians and Athenian. The war zone was in Marathon not far from Athens. It was called Greco-Persian Wars. The Athenian defeated the Persians’ invasion finally. The commander sent a soldier named Fidipitz, the best runner, delivered this victorious news to their people. Fidipitz kept running without rest, when he run back to Athens, he got out of breath, and said in falter “Be joy-joyful, A—thenian, we, we did it.” Then he fell down and died.

And decide the distance of 42.193 which Fidipitz had been through as the competition distance. So until now, this sport has been played 122 years.

2.I don’t think so, boxing already changed many, it became a fighting sport which won’t cause seriously injured or be killed during the fight. People should be stronger or learn to be stronger through the sport. So if the sports can make people be stronger and won’t cause seriously injured, then it shouldn’t be banned.

1.According to FIFA, the world governing body of football, the contemporary history of the game began in 1863 in England. the English Football Association (the FA) was formed as the sport's first governing body. Until the 19th century, football had been played in various forms using a multiplicity of rules under the general heading of "folk football". The world's oldest football clubs were founded in England from 1857 and, in the 1871–72 season, the FA Cup was founded as the world's first organised competition. The first international match took place in November 1872.

2.I do not support an outright ban on sports like boxing, I do feel that the government should regulate such sports so that they are played under supervision which will minimize the risks. It is irrefutable that dangerous sports can cause injury or even death to the individuals. However, banning such sports is not the answer. Instead, the government should ensure that the companies which provide the facilities for such sports should meet the required, legal safety standards. Another argument against banning is that then people would play them in hiding and then they would be even more risky. To put it in a nutshell, I pen down saying that lay a ban on such sports is not the answer.

1.Badminton, one of the most popular sports in China, which was originated from British, and it's been 45 years since the beginning. In 1873, a few retired officers who came from India introduced a game to beat a shuttlecock back and forth through the net. This activity is interesting and became more popular. Badminton became an official Olympic sport since 1992.

2.I reject this view. Everything has a meaning of existence, violent sports are not exceptions. Every man has his hobbyhorse, as long as it meets the rules, it should not be banned. Violent sports can cause some problems and makes some people uncomfortable, even kills somebody, but it may be the ideal of some people.

It was the first winter sport included in the Olympics, in 1908.The sport is also associated with show business. Major competitions generally conclude with exhibition galas, in which the top skaters from each discipline perform non-competitive programs. Many skaters, both during and after their competitive careers, also skate in ice shows which run during the competitive season and the off-season.

2.A lot of sports are violent. It's impossible to ban all. There is also a collision between basketballs. Some sports are more likely to hurt athletes than boxing. But it doesn't look as bloody as boxing. In other ways, are they prohibited?
