The sport of volleyball was first played in the US, but it is now played all over the world. It is played between two teams, and each team has six players. The game is played on a court, and the two teams are separated by a net.
Each team has three hits to get the ball over the net. The same person cannot hit the ball twice in a row. You can use any part of your body to hit the ball, but players mostly use their hands and arms.
In the game, you can score a point when you pass a ball that hits the ground on the other team's side of the court. You can also score a point if the other team fails to hit the ball back to your side. The first team to score 25 points wins.

The three passes that are used most often in volleyball are called the bump, the set, and the spike. A bump is when you hit the ball up into the air using your forearms. A set is when you hit it into the air using your fingertips, and a spike is when you hit the ball down as hard as you can with your palm.

排球的發源地是美國，如今是世界性的運動。比賽時兩隊相互較勁，每隊共有六名選手，兩隊在球場上各據球網兩側。
每隊最多擊球三次就得擊球過網，同一個選手不能連續擊球兩次，你能以身體任何部位擊球，但選手多半使用雙手和手臂。
比賽中，我方若傳球過網，且落在對方場地，就能得一分，對方若無法將球回擊過網到我方，也得分，先得二十五分的隊伍獲勝。
排球最常用的三招傳球方
式為「擊、托、殺」。「擊」是以前臂將球擊入空中；「托」是以指尖將球推入空中；「殺」是使盡全力以手掌將球擊落。

The US-Israeli war with Iran, which began on Feb. 28, has killed thousands of people, destabilized the Middle East and rocked global energy markets by effectively closing the strait. WHAT IS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ? Lying between Oman and Iran and linking the Gulf north of it with the Gulf of Oman to the south and the Arabian Sea beyond, the strait is 33km wide at its narrowest point, with a shipping lane just 3km wide in either direction. Perhaps the world’s most important energy shipping channel, the waterway is about 167km long. Following through on an old threat, Tehran effectively closed the strait
Have you ever found yourself desperately feeding coins into a claw machine just because you’ve already spent so much trying to win that stuffed animal? Or maybe you’ve continued watching a boring movie simply because you already paid for the ticket? If so, you’ve experienced the “sunk cost fallacy.” A sunk cost refers to time, money or effort that has already been spent and cannot be recovered. This psychological trap is surprisingly common. You might keep playing a video game you no longer enjoy because you’ve invested countless hours in building your character, or maintain a toxic friendship because you’ve known
