  While football fans feel strongly angry and shocked about mistakes made by referees(裁判)because they cannot see clearly what has happened, a small German company is quietly pleased.

  For Cairos Technologies, mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy.The company has developed a tiny chip(芯片)that fits inside a football and determines whether the ball has crossed the goal line, by being able to discover its exact location on the field.The world football organization, FIFA, has shown interest in the technology.It is very possible that the new technology will be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

  "We've been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more recently in an under-17 FIFA Cup in Peru," said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company."The technology has performed well, and we're pretty optimistic that it will be used at the games in Germany next year."

  The chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football.It sends 2,000 signals a second to a receiver network of 12 antennas(天线), placed around the field.The receivers then send information about the ball's location to a central computer, and because it works in real time, it can immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored.The chip even can tell when the ball crosses the line in mid-air.Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive.Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip in other ball sports.

  FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next year's World Cup.

  My father was 44 and knew he wasn't going to male it to 45.He wrote me a letter and hoped that something in it would help me for the rest of my life.

  Since the day 1 was 12 and first read his letter, some of his words have lived in my beart.One it aways times out.“Right now, you are pretending to be a time-killer.But I know that one hay, you will do something great that will set you among the very best.”Knowing that my dad believed in me gave me permission to believe in myself.“You will do something great.”He didn't know what that would be, and neither did I, but at times in my life when I've felt proud of myself, I remember his words and wish he were here so I could ask.“Is this what you were talking about, Dad?Should I keep going?”

  A long way frim 12 now, I realize hew would have been proud when I made any progress.Lately, thongn.I've come to believe he'd want me to move on to winat com next: to be nrood of and believe in, somebody else.It's time to start writing my own letters to my children.Our children look to us with the same unanswered question we had.Our kids don't hold back because they're afraid to fail.They're only afraid of failing us.They don't worry about being disappointed.Their fear-as mine was until my father's letter-is of being a disappointment.

  Give your chikdren permission to succeed.They're witing for you to believe in them.I always knew way parents loved me.But trust my That elic will be more comlece, that love will be more real, and their belief in the nelces whi be greater if you write the words on their hearts;“Don't worry; you'll do something great.”Not having that blessing from their parents may be the only thing holding them back.
