A huge plastic bubble kept out rain and snow. There was heat to keep things comfortable year round.Domed stadiums have clearly changed the course of sports. Still, they did have their problems at first. Most of these problems were discovered and solved at the Houston Astrodome. This was the world's first stadium with a lid. For the fans, it was great. But there were some problems for the playe rs. Baseball outfielders had the most difficult time. They had to learn to catch in a field with a roof. At first this was almost as difficult as playing in the dark. The glass of the roof was light colored, to let sunlight in. Sunlight was needed to keep the grass on the field alive. But the light roof blended( 混合 )too well with the white baseball. Fly bails seemed to drop out of nowhere. Even skilled fielders were making errors. Finally, the decision was made to paint the glass of the roof dark. The problem was solved. But what about the grass? Well, the real grass was dug up and replaced with artificial turf!This passage is about________.A．baseball gamesB．cold weatherC．how to play outfieldD．domed stadiums37、Domed stadiums must have________.A．artificial grassB．bright sunlight。
