     Most of us may play ping-pong,  but perhaps you don"t know who invented it.  The story is that
 it started when two students at Cambridge University began knocking a cork (软木塞) to each other
 across a table, using old boxes.  In about the year 1800 an American businessman of sports goods 
produced a game that he called Indoor Tennis.  The Americans didn"t find interest in it.  He shipped
(用船运) it to London and it soon became popular in Britain.  The game was then played across dining
 room tables, or on the floor with the net string (网) between chairs.  The players used a ball made of
 cork or rubber.  A few years later a hollow (空的) ball like the one we use today was invented.  
People all over the world loved it at once.  A man called Mr Wood in London, had the idea of covering 
the bats (拍子) with rubber. Later a London businessman called this game "ping-pong". "Ping" meant
 the sound of the bat hitting the ball, and "pong" was the sound of the ball hitting the table. 
     The game is played everywhere, but not everybody likes it.  Some even think it"s a silly game. 1.  _______  at Cambridge University first played table tennis, using cork and _______.
2. A game called Indoor Tennis _______ in about the year 1800.
3. Although the American didn"t like the game, _______ showed great interest in it
     and it became popular.    
4. After hollow balls were invented, the bats _______ were invented by Mr Wood.
5. 将文中画线部分译成汉语。

learn how to use computers and learn online.  Through the English language people of different countries
 are able to work together and make things even better.      1. Esperanto hasn"t been widely used because ______. A.  not many people know it
