Football is, I believe, the most popular game in England: one has only to go to the important matches to see this. Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting for one side or the other.

To a stranger, 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 will tell you who he expects will win such a match, and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times his age.

Most schools in England take football seriously-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 filling a boy’s mind with facts in the classroom: education also means the training of character; and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team games; where a boy or girl has to learn to work with others for his or her team, instead of working for oneself alone. The school therefore plans games and matches for its students. Football is a good team game. It is good both for the body and the mind. That’s why it is every school’s game in England.

67. In passage 1, by “this” the author means ________.

A. people often go to football games.

B. people, rich and poor, young and old, play football

C. football is the most popular game in England

D. people usually shout at each other in a football match

68. In England school boys seem _________ about football games.

A. not to know much         B. to know a great deal

C. know little               D. know nothing

69. In England, a boy’s opinion of a match is often ________.

A. three or four times better than that of adults

B. worse than that of adults

C. as good as that of adults

D. worth considering three or four times than adults

70. In almost all European schools, lessons are_______.

A. left for the children themselves

B. what the children like best

C. as important as football games

D. considered the most important

71. In England, education means_______.

A. filling a boy’s mind with stories

B. more than the teaching of knowledge

C. the teaching of knowledge only

D. training character by means of football games

Last summer, Katie Steller pulled off the freeway on her way to work in Minneapolis. She stopped at a traffic light, where a man was sitting with a sign asking for help. She rolled down her window.

“Hey!” she shouted. “I’m driving around giving free haircuts. If I go grab my chair, do you want one right now?”

The man looked to be in his 60s. He was balding, and missing a few teeth. As Steller liked to tell the story, he laughed, then paused. “Actually,” he said, “I have a funeral to go to this week. I was really hoping to get a haircut.”

Steller pulled out a red chair from her car and helped the man cut his hair immediately. After the work was finished, Edward looked in a mirror. “I look good!” he said.

Until last year, Steller had given such haircuts to people living on the margins(边缘) around the city. She was keenly aware of the power of her cleanup job.

“It’s more than a haircut,” she said. “I want it to be a gateway, to show value and respect, but also to get to know people. I want to build relationships.”

Steller knew that a haircut could change a life. One changed hers: As a teen, she suffered from a severe disease, her hair thinned drastically. Seeing this, her mother arranged for Steller’s first professional haircut.

“To sit down and have somebody look at me and talk to me like a person and not just an illness, it helped me feel cared about and less alone,” she said.

After that, Steller knew she wanted to have her own salon so she could help people feel the way she’d felt that day. Not long after finishing cosmetology school in 2009, she began what she now calls her Red Chair Project, reaching out to people on the streets. Her aim was that by doing some kind acts, others would be inspired to spread their own.

“Part of what broke my heart was just how lonely people looked,” she said. “I thought maybe I’d go around and ask if people want free haircuts. I can’t fix their problems, but maybe I can help them feel less alone for a moment.”

It all began with a belief in simple acts of kindness, such as a free haircut. “The way you show up in the world matters,” said Steller. “You have no idea what people are going to do with the kindness that you give them.”

1.How did Steller react to the man’s asking for help?

A.She paid no attention.

B.She offered a free haircut to him.

C.She sent a red chair to him as a present.

D.She told an interesting story to make him happy.

2.What did Steller mean by saying “It’s more than a haircut” in paragraph 6?

A.She thought it was a respectable job.

B.She had found more advantages for the job.

C.She considered haircut as a way to make friends.

D.She hoped her job could make a difference to others.

3.What did Steller expect from Red Chair Project?

A.To earn a lot of money. B.To know more people.

C.To pass down the kindness. D.To make herself stand out.

4.What would be the best title for the passage?

A.A Cut Above. B.A Beautiful Salon.

C.The Good Belief. D.The Miracle of Love.
