    Many reasons can explain why football is so popular. All around the world, millions play the sport and many more like to watch it. Some would say that the simplicity of the game is the main reason for its popularity, but that can’t be true as, this way, marathons or races would be the most popular sports in the world. In fact, the most popular sport in the world is football.
    The main reason for the popularity of any sport is the room for creativity inside the sport. Football has plenty of room for creativity as it enables players to use their bodies in unique ways to get hold of the ball and score while at the same time keeping the other team from scoring. In addition to this, the rules ensure that the game is clean and fair, thus encouraging new players to play it.
    Another reason is that this game doesn’t require expensive equipment. All the kids in poor developing countries like playing it as all they need to play it is a ball and an empty playground, and that would ensure a quality time for a group of kids who want to enjoy their time. The Federation International de Football Association (FTFA) knows this fact and is always trying to keep the rules and regulations applicable for poorer countries.
    For fans of the sport, it is very entertaining to watch the skills and talents of the players in professional matches. The outcome of a match can easily change in the dying moments of a game. Some matches are even better than watching a thriller, because you really have no idea what the result of the match will be.
    小题1:From the first paragraph, we know that marathons and races _______.
    A．are sports that are as simple as football
    B．are sports that are simpler than football
    C．are sports that people like watching most
    D．are the most popular sports in the world
    小题2:We can learn from the text that _____.
    A．football is popular mainly because of its simplicity
    B．the rules of football make the game safe and simple
    C．football gives players room for creativity
    D．playing football can help poor kids earn money
    小题3:This fact in the third paragraph refers to ______.
    A．kids need balls and empty playground to play in
    B．the equipment in developing countries is very cheap
    C．kids in developing countries enjoy playing football
    D．kids in developing countries don’t keep football rules

    小题1:B
    小题2:C
    小题3:C
    文章分析了足球受欢迎的原因。
    小题1:推理题。根据第一段内容可知有人说足球受欢迎是因为它简单，但是马拉松和跑步比足球还要简单，但是足球却是最受欢迎的。说明简单不是足球受欢迎的因为。
    小题2:细节题。根据第二段第二行Football has plenty of room for creativity
    小题3:细节题。根据第三段第二行the kids in poor developing countries like playing。

    Carnival(狂欢节) does not take place only in Louisiana. There are many celebrations around the world.
    In Brazil, the celebration is supposed to go on from the Saturday before Mardi Gras (大斋节前的最后一天)to Mardi Gras Day, but in some Brazilian cities the celebration can last seven or eight days. Just like New Orleans, not many important things are decided in Brazil from New Year's Day to Mardi Gras Day because everyone is preparing for or celebrating carnival. Most Brazilian parades have a subject, which could be political or historical. The parades had to have a subject related to Brazil until 1996. Some cities in Brazil do not have a street carnival, but they might have an indoor party.
    Bolivia has carnival parades for children and then more parades for adults. The children dress up in costumes and march in the streets. The adults make traditional dance groups and dance in the streets. But the main part of Bolivia's carnival is getting wet. Almost everyone gets wet from water balloons and water buckets. In Oruru, Bolivia, their carnival is held in the last ten days of the carnival season. People there join in dancing, but their main carnival event is a ceremonial parade that lasts for twenty hours and parades for four kilometers. Over 20,000 dancers are involved as well as 10,000 musicians. This parade attracts at least 400,000 people.
    The carnival in Venice, Italy is often regarded as the most carefully prepared carnival and lasts ten days before Lent (大斋节). Many events are held in the canals including shows, concerts, dances and water processions(队列). The official ending to the celebration is the party held in St. Mark's Square.

    Mouse potatoes joined couch potatoes (who spend much time watching TV on the couch), google officially became a verb and drama queens (extremely emotional persons) finally found the attention when they crossed over from popular culture to mainstream English language.
    The mouse potato, the himbo (attractive, empty-headed man) and drama queen were among 100 new words added to the 2006 update of America’s best-selling dictionary, the Merriam-Webster Collegiate Dictionary《韦氏大词典》. The Internet search engine Google also found its way into the dictionary for the first time as a verb, meaning to find information quickly on the worldwide web.
    New words and phrases from the fields of science, technology, pop culture and industry are chosen each year by Merriam-Webster’s team of editors after months of looking through books, magazines and even food labels. “They are not tracking spoken language. They are looking for evidence that words have been used in the written English language,” said Arthur Bicknell, senior editor of Merriam-Webster.
    Other words first coming into the dictionary this year were soul patch (a small growth of beard under a man’s lower lip), unibrow (two eyebrows joining together) and supersize － the fast food industry phrase for extra large meals.
    The technology world contributed ringtones (changeable incoming cellphone call signals) and spyware (software installed in a computer to track a user’s activities) while biodiesel (生物柴油) and avian influenza(禽流感) came from the world of science.
    America’s first dictionary － Noah Webster’s A Compendious Dictionary of the English Language － was published 200 years ago and also introduced some fresh words that have now become familiar. Those “new” words in 1806 included slang, surf, psychology, naturally and Americanize.
    小题1:The mouse potato refers to ____________.
    A．a mouse that lives by potatoes
    B．a person who spends much time on the computer
    C．a mouse that is shown on the screen of the computer
    D．a person who likes to eat mice and potatoes
    小题2:Which group of words and phrases is NOT the fresh words for the dictionary of this   year?  
    A．mouse potatoes, google, supersize， drama queen.
    B．himbo, soul patch, unibrow, supersize.
    C．ringtones, spyware, biodiesel, avian influenza.
    D．couch potatoes, surf, psychology, Americanize.
    小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text?
    A．New words and phrases were introduced into the dictionary have close relationship with the time.
    B．New words and phrases chosen by the editors of the dictionary have been used in written English somewhere.
    C．Some words that are now familiar to us used to be fresh words collected in the dictionary.
    D．The Merriam-webster Collegiate Dictionary becomes the best-seller because 100 new words are added to it.

    Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false picture．
    For example，someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”
    This guy’s a winner，right? Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets，and only one was a winner．He’s really a big loser!
    He didn’t say anything that was false，but he left out important information on purpose．That’s called a half-truth．Half truths are not technically lies，but they are just as dishonest．
    Some politicians often use this trick．Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks an  other term．One of her opponents(对手)says，“During Governor Smith’s term，the state lost one million jobs!” That’s true．However，an honest statement would have been，“During Governor Smith’s term，the state had a net gain of two million jobs．’’
    Advertisers will sometimes use half—truths．It’s against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say，“Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company．
    This kind of deception happens too often．It’s a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and sometimes the truth can 1ie as well．
    小题1:How much did the lottery winner lose?
    A．one hundred dollars．B．Two hundred dollars．
    C．Three hundred dollars．D．Four hundred dollars．
    小题2:We may infer that the author believes people should ________.
    A．buy lottery tickets if possibleB．make use of half—truths
    C．be careful about what they are toldD．not trust the Yucky Company
    小题3: How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?
    A．One．B．Two．C．Three．D．Four．
    小题4:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A．Using half truths is against the law．
    B．Technically，half truths are in fact lies．
    C．Yucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache．
    D．Governor Smith did a good job during her last term．
    小题5:Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?
    A．He’s really a big loser!
    B．Sometimes the truth can lie as well．
    C．Advertisers will sometimes use half truths．
