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。

Long before numerals and arithmetic systems developed, humans relied on tally marks to count. These simple, repeated marks — often just straight lines — are one of the earliest and most widespread methods of recording numbers. Archaeological findings suggest that humans began tallying in prehistoric times. During the Late Stone Age in Africa, humans began to carve notches onto bones to create tangible records of quantities. One of the earliest known examples is the Wolf bone, an artifact unearthed in Central Europe in 1937. This bone bears notches believed to be an early form of counting. Even more intriguing

When Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang revealed on Friday last week that the company is working with the Trump administration on a new computer chip designed for sale to China, it marked the latest chapter in a long-running debate over how the US should compete with China’s technological ambitions. The reasoning has sometimes changed — with US officials citing national security, human rights or purely economic competition — but the tool has been the same: export controls, or the threat of them. Nvidia believes it can eventually reap US$50 billion from artificial intelligence (AI) chip sales in China. But it so far has
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang In many Western countries, the most common form of tally marks employs a five-bar gate structure: four vertical lines followed by a diagonal slash. To form this group, one begins by drawing four parallel vertical lines, each representing one. For the fifth, draw a diagonal line across the existing four. This diagonal stroke effectively creates a distinct group of five. To continue counting, just initiate a new cycle in the same manner. A set of five tallies combined with a single vertical line next to it represents the number six. Across many Asian countries, the Chinese character
