Football is the most popular game in England. One has only to go to the important matches to see this.
One of the most surprise things about football on England to a stranger 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 photographs of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches.
Most schools in England take football seriously—much more seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are all important, and games, left for private arrangements. In England, it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in a classroom, education also means character training and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team games, where a boy has to learn to work with others for its pupils. Football is a good team game. It Is a good exercise for the body, it needs skill and a quick brain, it is popular and it is cheap, and as a result, it is the schools’ favorite game in winter.

Passage Three
Nowadays more and more people care about the exploitation of the natural resources, such as oil. Though there’re many kinds of resources, with the fast increase of population and the appearance of many more factories, the more we use, the fewer there will be left for the future. Oil is getting less and less year after year. It’s said that oil can last for only 50 years, natural gas perhaps will last 38 years.
Oil can be used in many ways and it’s difficult to imagine what the modern will be like without oil. But oil isn’t easy to find and get out of the earth. Men must study the rockets. When they think they rocks on a certain place may have oil, a metal tower is built. A machine in the tower cuts a hole down into the ground. At the same time, a steel pipe is pushed down to stop the sides from falling in and to keep out water. At last if the men are right, usually the oil rushes up the sides with great strength by the pressure(压力) of the gas in the top of the rock, and it rushed high into the air. If the oil catches a light, there will still be a terrible fire. So a kind of cover is fixed on the top of the pipe, and the oil can run out through taps.
If we make a well near the middle of the oil field, we can also get gas. Such gas is sent through pipes to towns far away and used in houses and factories like coal gas.
Today oil is under pressure as never before. The price of oil keeps rising all the time. In many countries, the governments encourage people to save oil as much as possible.

C. Many governments encourage people to use oil as much as possible.

Passage Four
In New York City some bike riders have formed a group called Bike for a Better City. For several
years this group has been trying to get the city government to help bike riders. For example, they want the city to have special lanes(车道) for bicycles only on some of the main streets. Bike for a Better City feels that of there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.
But not everyone thinks it is a good idea. Taxi drivers don’t like the idea. They say it would slow traffic down. Some store owners on the main streets don’t like the idea. They say that if there is less traffic, they will have less business. And most people live too far from down town to travel by bike.
The city government wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, the Central Park, the largest open space in New York, is closed to cars, and the roads may then be used by bikes only. But Bike for a Better City says that this is not enough, and it keeps to get bicycle lanes downtown.
