Football is, I believe, the most popular game in England: one has only to go to one of the important matches to see this. Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting for their teams. One of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has pictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches. He will tell you who he thinks will win such a match, and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times of his age.
Most schools in England take football seriously（认真地）— much more seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are all very important and games are left for the children themselves. In England it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in the classroom; education also means the training of character by means of games, especially team games, where the boy or girl has to learn to work with others for his or her team instead of working for himself or herself alone. Therefore the school plans games and matches for its students. Football is a good team game. It is good both for the body and the mind. That is why it is every school’s game in England.
1.Football games are very popular in England among _____________.
A. all the people B. grown-ups
C. boys only D. boys and girls
2.In England, a boy’s opinion of a match is often______________ .

D. training character by means of football games
4.We can use_______ instead of the underlined word “therefore”

Football is so popular in China. Almost everyone is interested in the sport — the young and the old, boys and girls, and now even robots.
Recently at Hangzhou Guangming Middle School, kids from several schools played football with their robots.
Robot football is very different from human football. Only two robots play in each match. The field is as big as a ping-pong table. One half is black and the other is white. Each robot tries to catch the “football” and score a goal. The robot with more goals wins.
Gao Linge, a boy from Hangzhou Guangming Middle School, helped make one of the robots for the match.
“My school bought the main board (主板),” said Gao, 14. “Then I decided what my robot looked like and made a computer program for it.”
Gao’s robot was eight centimeters tall and had two arms. It had four sensors (传感器) to “see” and “kick” the “football”.
Ying Xuehai, a 12-year-old student from Gao’s school, also made a robot. His robot played against Gao’s. The match decided who would go to the final game. Ying lost the game. So he gave many of his robot’s parts to Gao.
Even so, Gao’s robot didn’t win the final. It played well in the first five minutes. Then it slowed down. By the end of the match, it could hardly move. What was wrong? Gao and Ying found the problem — the robot ran out of batteries (电池)!
“We’ll solve the problem and beat the other schools next time!” said the two boys.
1.________ is popular in China.
A. Football B. Robot C. Sensor D. Game
2.How many robots are needed in a match?
A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.
3.The third paragraph mainly talks about ________.
A. a wonderful robot football game B. how robots can score more goals
C. the rules of robot football games D. how robots can win the matches
4.Gao Linge lost the match for the reason that ________.
A. his robot ran out of power
B. he broke the rules of the game
C. he used Ying Xuehai’s robot’s parts
D. his robot happened to be out of order
5.Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Gao Linge is as old as Ying Xuehai.
B. Ying Xuehai’s robot was 8 centimeters tall.
C. Gao’s and Ying’s robots were both bought.
D. The passage doesn’t tell us who won the final.

Situated in the South West of England, between Exeter and Plymouth, Torquay is one of the most popular holiday resorts in Britain. It provides a variety of entertainment, sports of every kind and cultural facilities, all set in a position of outstanding natural beauty. Visitors can choose between luxury hotels by the sea, with private suites（套房），swimming pools and saunas, and comfortable but less expensive guest houses. There are camping sites, too, and hundreds of houses displaying“B & B”signs.
As well as a number of small quiet bays, which are ideal for beach barbecues away from the crowds, Torquay has large sandy beaches where you can buy refreshments（饮料）and hire deck chairs, boats and even beach huts. There are large areas of grassland overlooking the sea, and miles of winding cliff paths for walkers who just want to enjoy the scenery and what is often said to be the healthiest air in the country. For the sportsmen and women there are opportunities not only for golf, tennis, squash and bowls, but also for water-skiing, hang-gliding and deep-sea fishing.
After a day in the open air, there’s lots to do in the evenings, too. There are plenty of discos, the occasional opera or ballet, and summer variety shows in the seafront theatres. For the children, there is a beautiful model village with a complicated railway layout which is remarkably realistic-especially when the lights are all on at night.
Of course, there’s no need to spend your whole holidays in Torquay. Only a short drive away is Dartmoor National Park, where you can walk for miles through dramatic, unspoiled countryside, or picnic by beautiful rivers and streams. Or, nearer to home, you can sail across Tor Bay to the lovely old fishing village of Brixham.
