        Big football matches are always exciting affairs. Besides the action on the field, the noise the crowd
makes really creates the unique atmosphere. At this summer’s World Cup, you can be sure that every
country’s fans will be in full voice, supporting their teams.
        The football chant(口號) is as old as the sport itself. It’s a way for fans to express their support for
their team. It’s common for the noise of supporters to provide the encouragement for a team to win a
match. Most agree that a chant is for building a great atmosphere and to support the team.
        One of the most famous football songs is the Liverpool club anthem(頌歌) You’ll Never Walk
Alone，originally from a 1945 Broadway show, which was adopted by Liverpool and is sung before
every match. It has been said that as soon as the opposite hears the song, they become aware of how
tough winning at Anfield (Liverpool’s stadium) will be.
        The key to a good football song is that it should be simple. It has to be easy for all fans to sing along
with. When I went to watch Beijing Guo’an last season, I could join in one chant though I could only
speak a little Chinese. “Beijing wo ai ni,” the Guo’an fans sang - you didn’t have to be gifted to work out
what that meant.
        At the World Cup, the first songs you’ll hear at matches will be the national anthems. Fans and
players join together to sing the anthems before each match, and it is considered a mark of respect that
the opposite remains silent while each team’s anthem is being sung.
        So, even though I’ll be supporting England from home in the summer, you can be sure I’ll be chanting
at my TV: “En-ger-land, En-ger-land, En-ger-land!”
1. From the passage we can learn that _______.
A. a good football chant is usually very long
B. the football chant can express support to the team
C. the football chant appears later than football itself
D. a fan is talented to learn foreign languages
2. What can fans do to support their team?
A. To kick the ball on the field.
B. To fight with the opposition fans.
C. To provide encouragement with chants.
D. To donate money to the players.
3. Why the national anthems of both the teams can be heard at the World Cup?
A. Because it is a sign to show the respect to each other.
B. Because it is sung for the leaders of the host country.
C. Because it represents encouragement from their fans.
D. Because either team senses the support from their country.
4. Which of the following is the best title?
A. Football - A Popular Sport
B. National Anthems at Matches
C. You’ll Never Walk Alone
D. You’ll Never “Cheer” Alone

     The Chinese were the real inventor of printing. Centuries ago they carved messages on a stone
and then sprinkled (撒) sooty(煤炭的) dust over it. When they put a small piece of paper over
the stone and rubbed the paper, the sooty lines were reproduced on it. Some of these first printed
papers have been preserved; the oldest ones known to exist are more than one thousand years old.
     Printing with carved stone blocks was the only kind of printing known for centuries. Then, about
eight hundred years ago, a Chinese printer, Bi Sheng, had a clever idea. Instead of carving a whole
message on a single big block of wood or stone, he formed separate Chinese words or characters
out of bits of clay(粘土). By putting the clay pieces together in rows in a box, he could print just as
before. But when he finished, he could keep all the separate pieces of clay and use them again.
     Bi Sheng's movable type was a great step forward, but his method was not generally adopted.
Movable type did not come into use in Europe until it was invented there centuries later. The
Europeans had been totally ignorant of the printing traditions of the Chinese.
1. The oldest pieces of printed paper in existence date back ______.
A. 800 years
B. more than 1000 years
C. more than 2000 years  
D. 500 years
2. Bi Sheng used clay to form ______.
A. large tablets for writing
B. messages
C. individual words or characters
D. small statues
3. These pieces of clay were ______.
A. easily lost
B. broken
C. reusable  
D. disposable
4. Europeans adopted printing after they ______.
A. realized stone carving was inadequate (不夠的)
B. had learned about it from the Chinese
C. had copied Chinese printing
D. had invented it themselves

     As a foreigner, I often hear the Chinese calling me "laowai". If I could not speak Chinese or if I had no
understanding of Asian customs, I might be angry when I am called a "laowai". But having lived in the
Philippines and China's Taiwan Province teaching English for several years, I have come to China with a
different view from most other foreign teachers here. In such situations, I just answer back in standard
Chinese:"Ni zenmo zhidao wo shi waiguoren? (How do you know I'm a foreigner? )" When I hear people
shout out "hello" in a more impolite way and then laugh, I reply in Chinese with "Ni de yingyu bi wo de hao.
(Your English is better than mine.)"
     Speaking Chinese is a way of living an easier life in China. As an English teacher at Hubei University in
Wuhan, I was once invited by a student to spend the weekend with his family. Because I can speak Chinese
quite freely, I was able to talk with my student's entire family. From my personal experience, I knew that the
Chinese have a "gift" for making foreigners in China feel right at home. That fun-filled weekend I spent with
my student's family in Caidian, a small suburb of Wuhan, just showed that my idea was right.
     It was an experience I will never forget.
     Americans have a saying: If you can't beat them, then join them.The secret to feeling at home with the
Chinese people isn't to try to make them change over to Western ways. The secret is to become one of them.
Just go with the flow, or don't take things too seriously. In this way you will surely feel at home in China.
     If you no longer emphasize (強調(diào)) our differences from the Chinese, you will be more willing to
concentrate on what "big noses" and "small noses" have in common.
1. Shouting out" hello" to a strange foreigner is usually considered _____ by foreigners.
[     ]
A. friendly
B. curious
C. rude
D. brave
2. The reply "Ni de yingyu bi wo de hao" shows _____.
[     ]
A. the author likes to talk with the Chinese
B. the author isn't angry
C. the author really think so
D. the author likes to speak Chinese
3. Which of the following is NOT true?
[     ]
A. The author has known Chinese customs fairly well.
B. The author can speak Chinese very well.
C. The author doesn't mind being called a "laowai".
D. The author is difficult to get along with.
4. The phrase "go with the flow" here means _____.
[     ]
A. feel at home
B. when in Rome, do as the Romans do
C. flow with the river
D. take things easy
