VI．Reading comprehension （阅读理解）：（共50分）

A.     Choose the bestanswer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 12分)

 

Brazil(巴西) is the greatest football nation in the world. There are 100 million Brazilians (巴西人). How many of them are football fans? 100 million! All of them think that they know all about football. This makes life very difficult for the Brazilian team manager. When things go badly for the Brazilian team, the newspaper would demand (要求) that the team manager should leave his job. “If we win, they put me in heaven (天堂),” as a manager once said, “If we lose, they put me in hell (地狱).” 

You can’t escape football in Brazil. There are football matches on every street and beach. On television, the results of the football matches come before the main news programs. There are six television channels in Rio de Janeiro. On Sundays each channel shows a different football match.

Brazilis not the richest country in the world, but the government spends huge sums of money on football. It cost more than one billion pounds to prepare for the 1978 World Cup. That’s 10 pounds for every Brazilian man, woman, and child. And many Brazilians don’t earn as much as 10 pounds a week. Is it worth it?

“Brazil must have a great football team,” says one journalist. “If it costs one billion pounds, that’s all right. If the government doesn’t give a good football team, then it will become unpopular. Football is more than a game in Brazil.”

 Football is more than a game in Brazil. This is certainly true in its largest city, Sao Paulo. The most popular team is Corinthians. Corinthians’ fans are the most loyal (忠实的) and emotional in Brazil. When Corinthians win, production in the Sao Paulo car factories increases by fifteen per cent. When they lose, it drops. At one time Corinthians won the national championship for the first time. For four days fans danced and sang in the streets.

76．It is the ______ that come before the main news programs on television.

A)football matches                                B)results of football matches  

C)football matches on the streets                      D)football matches on the beaches

77．The government spent ______ in preparing for the 1978 World Cup though the country was not  rich.

A)one billion dollars                                B)one million pounds             

C)one billion pounds                              D)one million RMB

In America, people don’t keep their old people at home. At a certain age they put them away. In my country, the old people stay in the home untilthey   80   . But here, things are not like that. It’s surprising to me that they put them away. The first thing they think of is a nursing home (养老院). Some of these people don’t need a nursing home. If they had their own bedroom at home, they would watch   81    or listen to the radio or have themselves busy doing something interesting.

Right now there’s a lady here, nothing wrong with her, but her children put her away. They don’t come to see her. The only time they come to see her is when she says,“ I can’t breathe.” She wants some   82   . And that way she is just aging. When I came here, she was a beautiful woman. She was looking nice. Now she is going down.

 We had another lady here two years ago, she had two sons. She fell and had a    83    leg. They called the eldest son. He said, “ Why call on me? Call the little one. She gave all the money to that little one. ” That was bad. I was right there.

All these people are not helpless. But just the family    84    them. There is an old man here. His children took him for a ride one day, pushed him out of the car, let him walk and wander (徘回) by himself. He couldn’t find his way home. His children try to    85    all that he has. They are trying to make him sign papers and things like those. There is nothing wrong with him. He can dress himself, cook his own meals, take a walk…They signed him in here, made the lawyers sign him in. They are just in for money.

How can these children treat their old people like that? How awful!

It may be possible to enjoy a higher standard (标准) of living if you have a small family. There are clear advantages to having a small family. H 86  , there can also be serious disadvantages if it is a small family. The parents have big responsibilities (责任) of raising children by themselves if they have no help from other family m  87  . Today, it is quite common for both parents to work full time in order to pay for the basic cost of living of family. When the parents come home, they are often very t  88   from a hard day at work. Still, they have to take care of the children, cook, clean, wash clothes, shop, etc.

When there is only one parent, of course the responsibilities of looking after the children are much h  89   for him or her. They have to work out all the things by themselves. They just hope that everything goes right every day. More and more, people in small families have been trying to create their own extended families (大家庭) to meet their needs. They often try to develop a net-work of friends and neighbors to be part of their self-created extended family. For example, small families may celebrate holidays t  90   and, if there are children, they may share responsibilities of child raising. Your child might go to a neighbor’s h 91   or apartment after school on certain days, and then you would do something in e  92   to help your neighbor out. Many of these arrangements are very successful and helpful for those families.
