Looking for Canadian culture? Try checking out the ice rink. "We love hockey," says Marion Alexander, a Canadian English teacher in Beijing. "It really is Canada's sport."
There is no other sport so close to the hearts of Canadians and no other sport in which they have been so successful. But how much do you know about hockey?
Hockey is played on a court of ice called a rink. Each team has six players－a goalie (goal keeper), a center, two defensemen, and two forwards. All of them wear ice skates. Instead of a ball, hockey players use a puck(冰球), a small black object made of rubber.
Each team tries their best to hit the puck with their hockey sticks into the other team's goal. Whichever team scores the most goals at the end of the three periods is the winner. "Hockey has a lot of rules," says Alexander, "But once you are used to it, it seems very natural."
In Canada, hockey is part of the national identity. Many Canadians play hockey when they are growing up and many families make a tradition of watching the games. "I played goalie when I was younger," remembers Alexander. "My family would always watch the Calgary Flames (a team in the National Hockey League) play on TV."
Hockey doesn't just unite families. It also brings the whole country together, especially during the Olympics. "Canada is a diverse country that doesn't have a strong unified culture like China. That is why hockey is so important. Supporting the national team brings all of Canada together," says Alexander.

“I Went Skydiving at 84!”
As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost unheard of a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2011,when my husband arranged for me me ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that time ,I told my husband that I wanted to skydive. So when our retirement community（社區(qū)）announced that they were having an essay competition and the topic was an experience of a lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.
In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Brush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn’t believe it.
One june 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the noisiest one I had ever been in, but I wasn’t frightened—I was really just looking forward to the experience. When we reachen 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, “What have I gotten myself into?” But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before Jay opened the parachute（降落傘）, then we just floated downward fo zhout five minutes. Being up in the clouds and looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt—much better than the hot air ballon. I was just enjoying it.
Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and realize that you don’t stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there’s something you want to experience, look into it. If it’s something that is possible, make it happen.
