Eighty years ago, Mr. Goode of Putney, South London, went to the chemist’s to buy some aspirin. In the shop, he forgot (забыл) about his tablets as he stood looking at the pimpled rubber mat (пупырчатый резиновый коврик) on the counter (на прилавке). It gave  him a fantastic new idea. He paid for his aspirin and the rubber mat. Then he rushed (помчался) home, cut the rubber mat to the right shape and size (нужной формы и размера) and stuck (приклеил) it to his wooden table tennis bat (ракетке). The thin layer of rubber (тонкий слой резины) helped him put a very fast spin (вращать) on the ball.
 
 When he became the English champion, everyone started copying him, putting rubber layer on their bats, and soon Mr. Goode’s clever idea completely changed (полностью поменяла) the style and speed of table tennis.
Table tennis was first invented (придумали) in England in about 1880. At first the game had several (несколько) strange names: Gossima, Whiff Whaff and Ping Pong. It wasn’t until 1926 that the international Table Tennis Association was formed with international championship and rules. One of the rules was that the rubber lining (резиновый слой) of the bat (Mr. Goode’s invention) couldn’t be more than two millimeters thick in each side.
** pimpled  - пупырчатый
** rubber mat – резиновый коврик
** Mr. Goode’s invention - изобретение
