When word got out that Doug Beardsley was introducing a new course this spring-" Hockey (冰球) Literature and the Canadian Psyche (精神 ) " -the 40 seats in the class were quickly taken. ESPN offered to fly him to New York for a TV chat show, and e-mail arrived from hockey fans and researchers from as far away as Texas and China.

" think they can learn something about us as a nation by learning about the game, about Canadian people. They ' re right. " says Beardsley.

Students in Beardsley ' s class completed three research papers related to hockey. The reading list included famous works like The Divine Ryans by Wayne Johnston , The Good Body by Bill Gas- ton and Les Canadiells by Rick Salutin. They are the kind of books that get at the true meaning of being Canadian.

In Beardsley' s words, hockey shows the very nature of the polite Canadian. "I think that a- long with this peace-sharing, gentle image comes a need for mayhem(混乱）,So we invent the game and-whammo ! -you get on the ice and it serves as a way of letting out those energies that we don ' t allow ourselves elsewhere. " says Beardsley, who added that the reason the game needs to be played in winter is our form. of saying, " Look, even up here in the frozen north we can turn this around and make it work for us. "

"I' m talking about something larger than what happens on the ice and so is the course. "

Most of the animals have little connection with animals of a different kind, unless they hunt them for food. Sometimes, however. two kinds of animals.come together in a partnership which is good for both of them. You may see some birds sitting on the backs of sheep. This is not because they want a ride, but because they find easy food in the parasites(寄生虫)on sheep. The sheep allow the birds to do so because they move the cause of discomfort. So although they can live without each other, they do better together.

Sometimes an animal has a plant partner. The relationship develops until the two partners cannot live without each other. This is so in the corals(珊瑚) of the sea. In their skins there are tiny plants which act as "dustmen" , taking some of the waste products from the corals and giving in return oxygen(氧气) which the animal needs to breathe. If the plants are killed, or are even prevented from receiving light so that they cannot live normally, the corals will die.
