  David Beckham has rejected claims that England players are being greedy over their bonuses(奖金)for the World Cup, insisting the reports suggesting that each player would receive £300 000 for winning were wide of the mark

  “The truth is that we are earning less for this World Cup than we were for the last game, ” said the England skipper.Squad members stood in line to pocket £250 000 each for victory at the 2002 finals.

  “I know for a fact that every one of the players in our team would play for our country for nothing and so would the other players.We don’t go into a game thinking we can make money for winning.There is too much pride and excitement in our team to even suggest that.”

  There is money I football and we talk about bonuses every time a big competition comes around-and-there is always criticism of the players when bonuses are agreed.But money isn’t the motivation(动力)-not at all.When you are a 15-year-old watching the World Cup, you don’t dream of playing in it because you can make loads of money.Players don’t think like that;you want to be there to play on that stage.

  “The FA makes money and the players always get bonuses; that is a fact.And if we do not succeed then the money is not there.”

  If you are lost in the mountains, stay calm in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival(生存). Many people think that preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but actually eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction to fear.

Find a hiding place.

  Unnecessary labor will make you sweat and make you cold. Find a hiding place around you before trying to start your own construction. If you are in a snow-covered ar-ea, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if possible. Stay out of the valleys-cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area on the mountain.

Signal rescuers for help.

  The best time to signal rescuers is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point possible-it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will travel farther. If you take a box of matches and a space blanket(a special blanket for traveling), build three smoky fires and put your blanket-good side fa-cing out-on the ground.

Do not walk away.

  It will make finding you more difficult,as search teams will be trying to follow your path and may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car with no one in it.

If you get frostbite(冻伤), do not rewarm the affected area until you're out of danger.

  You can walk on frostbitten feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain,you will not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are rescued.

(1) When lost in the mountains, you can in-crease your chances of survival if you________.

[  ]

A.take a space blanket with you

B.do more physical labor

C.try to find a car immediately

D.walk as far as possible to find help

(2) According to the passage, people most probably fail to survive if they________.

[  ]

A.do not take enough equipment

B.stay in the middle of the mountain

C.do not keep themselves warm

D.stay in a snow-covered area

(3) What can we infer from the passage?

[  ]

A.Don't travel by yourself.

B.Mountain traveling is dangerous.

C.Don't get frightened in danger.

D.Avoid going to unfamiliar places.

What on Earth about Chinese Football?

Some teams lose   11   purpose because it  12  the same owner with its opposition. Most football fans are losing interest in such games because of their lack   13   professional spirit.

    Most football clubs are   14   and some cannot pay their players. Smaller and smaller crowds means ticket sales, their other main income,   15   falling. All the facts show that Chinese football has come to its most critical point for years. "There is no choice   16  . The CFA will help those clubs which are losing money to  17   confidence  l8   a profit ",said Yan Shiduo, the vice president of the CFA. Wang Wen,  19   of Beijing's Football Fans Association said," The fans are  20   by Chinese football and we hope for effective reform of the league."

阅读下面的短文,并根据短文后的要求答题。(请注意问题后的字数要求)

Just like the United States,Britain is divided into different areas. Britain is one of the most diverse nations in Europe with over 250 different languages being spoken in London alone. With such a various culture,adapting to it can be a challenge for anyone. Following these steps should be of great help to you.

Forget the stereotypes (成见). Many of the long formed stereotypes simply have nothing to do with Britain today. Don't think that everyone enjoys drinking tea or beer. Abandoning some old ideas of people and culture will allow you to be more open­-minded and easily get into the culture.

Understand the differences. Britain is made up of different areas that have their different tradi­tions and languages. Understanding different cul­tures will help you avoid making mistakes.

Get used to small spaces. The US is a huge country where people are used to bigger cars, houses and spaces .__________, Britain does not have the luxury of space. Houses,apartments and cars are all smaller than you are used to,so trying to become fa­miliar with smaller areas is very necessary.

Be polite. Always apologize for knocking in­to someone, even if it was their fault. Respect people's personal space and always wait in line. Bill Brysons' book Notes from a small island is filled with many useful tips.

Accept the jokes. One of the most confusing aspects of British culture is humor. Kidding,teasing,or "taking the mick" are all ways to describe making fun of someone but this isn't necessarily a bad thing. Playing tricks on someone is a common way to show affection. As Britons usually put it,"you never make fun of someone you don't like".

76.What's the best title of the passage? (no more than 6 words)

_______________________________________________________________________

77.Complete the following statement with words from Paragraph 1.(no more than 2 words)Because of a different culture, it is a very difficult task for anyone to ______it.

78.Why does Britain have so many different cultures? (no more than 15 words)

79.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 4. (no more than 4 words)

80.What does the word "this" (Line 3,Paragraph 6) probably refer to? (no more than 5 words)
