“Forget about Lionel Messi, go and watch the village super league （联赛）!” some Chinese people might say to a football fan like this. The village super league, or “Cun Chao” in Chinese, is a soccer game among different villages in Rongjiang county, Southwest China’s Guizhou province. It was held from May 13th to July 29th in 2023. Twenty teams took part in it. The matches were so popular that at least one million people watched it on the field and more than 50 million online.
The football players come from different backgrounds. They are sellers, drivers, students, workers, etc. They come from different ethnic （族的） groups such as Miao, Dong, Shui, Han and Yao. Their ages are from 15 to over 40 years old. But when they put on their team uniforms and walk onto the field, they fight for their common love - football.
Like “Cun Chao”, another village sports event called “CunBA” was also popular. The matches were held in Taipan village of Taijiang county, Guizhou province. Four teams competed in the finals. The winner of the first “Gorgeous Countryside” Basketball League came out on March 27th. Over a hundred thousand of basketball fans went there to watch the exciting matches.
Both “Cun Chao” and “CunBA” enjoy a long history in Guizhou. Football in Rongjiang dates back to the 1940s and basketball in Taipan dates back to 1936. At that time, there were no special fields for villagers to do the sports, but hard conditions stopped no one. Now, under the support of the government, more people can take part in sporting events, enjoy sports and live a healthy life. At the same time, these sports events are also helping the development of these villages.

C．Only four teams took part in it. D．It has a longer history than “Cun Chao”.
45．What is the man purpose of the article

Are you good at singing or dancing Can you ride a unicycle （独轮车）, do magic tricks, drink a glass of milk in ten seconds, or recite poems from memory in a short time If you are able to do one of these things, well, you’ve got talent, my friend! And it’s the best time for you to show it at the school talent show!
Middle school talent shows in the US happen every year. Whatever you’re good at, you have five minutes to show yourself to the world. The school talent show usually takes place at the beginning of the school year and every kid has a chance to become a little star.

Everyone has a chance to shine.
Almost anyone can do almost anything in a talent show. As long as your act isn’t rude or illegal （不合法的）, you can show yourself freely.
On the day of the show, all the students sit in the school gym and ready to cheer for their classmates.
Many of today’s stars started their careers （职业） in school talent shows—Madonna, Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake all showed their skills early in life. Though you’re not Justin Bieber, you can become a star in your own right at your middle school talent show.
