The new ball was made up of 32 pieces of three colors: red, blue and white. Interestingly enough, the French national flag happened to be in three colors, too. Besides, 32 teams took part in the coming World Cup. But early football was made up of eight pieces of leather. As time went by, more pieces of leather were used, from 12 pieces to 18 to 26 and then to 32 now.

About three million such new footballs were made. And then some players were playing the new ball in their training. The makers have warned the goalkeeper that the new ball flies in a direct line at a fast speed.

After trying the ball for some time, a footballer said that the ball was quite different from the traditional black and white one, and that the goalkeeper would find it harder to catch them. Another footballer said that there would be more goals. "For the player on the ground, the new ball is easier to control as it flies. A good player can shoot in more goals." he said.

試題分析：本文敘述了1998年在法國舉行的世界杯足球賽實行了新的規(guī)則。比賽中使用紅、白、黃三色相間的球。這種球由32塊皮革縫制而成，十分湊巧的是，當時正好有32支球隊參賽。足球制造商在此之前提醒守門員，說這種球沿直線飛行，速度極快。試用一段時間之后，球員發(fā)現(xiàn)這種球與傳統(tǒng)的黑白相間的二色球有很大不同。這種球更容易控制，但守門員很難抓到，在一場球賽中有可能進更多的球。
