The fights take place in three two-minute rounds with the winner decided by points awarded by a judge.The prize money doesn’t compare with professional matches either. Some professional boxers make millions every time, while the most a Toughman competitor can hope for is $1,000 for winning a series of fights. Some fighters hope that a Toughman boxing match will lead to fame and fortune though. Mr. T, a famous tough guy actor, got his start in Toughman, but that kind of success is one-in-a-million.Another difference between Toughman and professional matches is that Toughman fighters usually have no idea what they’re doing.

Experienced fighters are trained to protect themselves as well as attack their opponents, but Toughman fighters could barely keep their hands up. Art Dore, who founded the league 24 years ago, admits, “These guys can't fight.” This kind of inexperience can be fatal; 12 people have been killed in Toughman matches, four in the past nine months alone.24.

Task 2James is a middle-aged New York builder. He’s lonely. Just like everyone else, James needs human contact from time to time, and he found a way at cuddle (拥抱) parties.New York can be a terrible place: it has a high murder rate and some seriously disturbed people living in it. But James says he’s comfortable at a a New York apartment with twenty strange people. The floor of the “cuddle zone” is soon covered with complete strangers snuggling (依偎) and cuddling, but that’s as far as it goes.Cuddle parties are the latest trend for lonely, isolated city folks who want to meet people and become safely intimate.
