         One of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even
the smallest schoolboy seems to have. He can tell you the names of players in most of the important teams. He
has pictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches. He will tell you who he expects to win
such and such a match, and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three of four times his age.
        Most schools in England take football seriously — much more seriously than nearly all European schools,
where lessons are all that are important, and games are left for the children themselves. In England, it is believed
that education is not only a matter of filling a boy's mind with facts in the classroom, education also means the
training of character, and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team
games, where the boy or girl has to learn to work with others for his team, instead of working for himself alone.
The school, therefore, plans games and matches for its pupils. Football is a good team game, good both for the
body and the mind. That is why it is every school's game in England.

1. In England schoolboys seem to              .

A. know a great deal about football games
B. learn football in class
C. know all the result of football matches
D. work together in football teams

3. In almost all European schools, lessons are             .

C. as important as football games
D. considered the most important

4. In England education means             .

A. filling children's mind with stories
B. more than the teaching of knowledge
C. the teaching of lessons only
D. training character by means of football games

     You go to a store. You see many new things. You know about them before you get to the store. How
do you know? You saw these things on TV. You learned about them through advertising.
      People have been advertising for thousands of years. Long ago, men called "criers" walked up and down
the street. They shouted about things that were being sold.
      Later, people met at one place. This place was a market. Some people came to sell. Other people came
to buy. But only those people who were at the market knew what was being sold.
      When people learned about printing, things changed. Soon there were newspapers. Many people read the
newspapers. They saw many advertisements in the papers. Later, more people saw and listened to the
advertisements on TV. Are the people who sell to us "criers"?

1. According to the passage, we go to the store to _______.

         Arguing with your parents is very natural for teens. From your hairstyle to your friends, your marks at
school to your television habits, it might just seem like you argue with your parents about everything. Though
this is not pleasant, it is normal and it will most possibly pass. At the same time, remember to argue fairly,
respectfully (尊重地) and argue only when needed. It might be hard to stay in control while arguing with
parents, but it will do you a lot of good.
          Arguments between teens and parents generally come about when both parties believe that they know
what is best. Parents have been caring for their teens for over ten years, but teens are quickly becoming adults
and believe that they are able to take care of themselves. If you are a teen arguing with your parents, remember
that your parents love you and only want what is best for you. If you must argue with them, argue fairly,
respectfully by:
          ▲Letting each person in the argument to speak what they want to say.
          ▲Refusing to break in others when they are speaking.
          ▲Only Arguing about the topic at hand. Don't talk about past hurts.
          ▲Showing your parents that you have thought about the issue (事情) and are trying to sort things for
yourself.     
          There is a small difference between having a discussion and an argument, but smart teens know that
having a discussion with their parents will make things easier.
         Arguing with parents is usually a hallmark (標記) of the teenaged years, but out of control arguments
don't serve anyone well. Before arguing with your parents, decide what type of teen you want to be and what
you are willing to do in order to achieve your goals.
