The expression "Go for it!" is a way of encouraging someone to try something.
"Go for it!" means you should not worry about failure or be too careful. You should take a chance
and be brave.
"Go for it!" gets its name from football. But it is not the football played in most countries such as
England, France or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada.
One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed, after three tries, to move
the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a very important decision.
The conservative(保守的)choice is to kick the ball and accept temporary defeat (暂时失败)in
order to get a good position for your team the next time it gets the ball. The more exciting choice,
however, is to try a fourth and final time to get the remaining yards needed.
People now are certain to shout their advice. Some will shout, "Kick the ball!" But others will
encourage the team to take a chance. "Go for it!" they will shout loudly.
In the 1980's, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations(情形) to encourage
someone to act bravely.
There is no guarantee(保证) that the action you "Go for it!" will succeed. But when you decide to
go for it, you only consider your action. That is the chance you can take. You put your fears behind.
You choose courage over safety. You hold your breath and go for it.
B. You should take a chance and be brave.
C. You should go to school and ask teachers for help.
D. You should be very careful.
B. French
C. Japanese
D. American
B. action
C. result
D. success
B. We try to improve our English for better education.
C. We need to make a quick decision at the last moment
D. We have to make a choice between success and failure.

In almost every big university in the United States football is a favorite sport. American football is not like soccer.
Players sometimes kick the ball, but they also throw the ball and run with it. They try to take it to the other end of the field. They have four chances to move the ball ten yards. They can carry it or throw it. If they move it to the end of the field, they receive six points. This is called a touch—down. It is difficult to move the ball. Eleven men on the team try to stop the man who has the ball. If the man does not move the ball ten yards, his team kicks the ball to the other team.
Each university wants its team to win. Thousands of people come to watch. They all yell for their favorite team. Young men and women called cheerleaders come on the field to help the people yell more. They dance and jump while they yell.
Each team plays ten or eleven games each season. The season begins in September and ends in November. If a team is very good, it may play another game after the season ends. The best teams play again on January 1st, the first day of the New Year. Many people go to see these games and many others watch them on television

Dear editor( 编辑),
Can't your newspaper do something about the custom (习惯) of hitchhiking?
A short time ago, on a car travel I counted at least 50 people standing beside the road, asking for rides. Many of them were young women.
Don't they understand how dangerous it is to get into the car driven by a stranger? How much do they know about the driver? Is he a good driver or not? They know nothing!
Many of these young hitchhikers may come from good families. Don't their parents teach them anything about the world? I always taught my children not to talk to strangers. I never let them take rides from people they didn't know.
Isn't there enough crime (犯罪) today without asking for trouble by hitchhiking? On the other hand, hitchhiking may bring some traffic trouble. Don't you think what I said is true?
