14、portantmatches to see this.Rich and poor ，young and old ，one can see them all there，shouting for one side or the other.To a stranger，one of the most surprising things about football in England is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of

15、the players in most of the importantteams.He has pictures of them and knows the results of large numbers of matches.He will tell you who heexpects will win such a match ， and his opinion is usually as good as that of men three or four times his age.Most schools in England take football seriously muc

16、h 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 believedthat education is not only a matter of filling a boy s mind with，factsitalsoin classroommeansthe training ofcharacter by means of games

17、，especially team games，where the boy or girl has to learn to work with others for the team instead of working for himself or herself alone.

That s the finding of a study ofDutch men in which deaths from he

22、art disease were more than 50 percent lower among those who consumed at least an ounce (盎司） of salt water fish per day compared to those who never ate fish.The Dutch research is one of three human studies that give strong scientific support to the long held beliefthat eating fish can provide health

23、benefits, particularly to the heart.Heart disease is the number-one killer in the United States, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring fromheart attacks each year.But previous research has shown that the level of heart disease is lower in cultures thatconsume more fish than Americans do.There are

24、fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the EskimosofGreenland, whoconsume about 14 ounces offisha day, and among the Japanese, whose dailyfishconsumption averages more than 3 ounces.For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.At the start of the

25、 study, average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day, with moremen eating lean fish than fatty fish.During the next two decades, 78% of the men died from heart disease.The fewest deaths were among thegroup who regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japan

26、ese or Eskimos.This relationshipwas true regardless of other factors such as age, high blood pressure, or blood cholesterol ( 膽固醇 ) levels.35.

30、lieve the air inside many houses may be more dangerous than the air outside. It may be one hundred timesworse.Indoor air pollution can cause a person to feel tired, to suffer eye pain, headache and other problems. Somepollutants ( 污染物 ) can cause breathing disorders, diseases of blood and even cance

31、r. Most scientists agree thatevery modern house has some kind of indoor pollution.People have paid more attention to the problem now. It is said that when builders began making houses and offices they did not waste energy. To do this they built buildings that limited the flow of air between inside a

32、nd outside. They also began using man-made building materials. These materials are now known to let out harmful gases.As the problem became more serious, scientists began searching for a way to deal with it. They discovered a natural pollution control system for building-green plants. Scientists do

33、not really know how plants control airpollution. They believe that a plant s leaves吸收) absorbtake in( the pollutants. In exchange the plant lets outoxygen through its leaves and small organizations on its roots. Scientists suggest that all buildings should have one large plant or several small plant

34、s inside for every nine square metres of space. Studies of different plants show that each absorbs different chemicals. So the most effective way to clean the air is to use different kinds of plants. Having green plants inside your house can make it a prettier and more healthy place.39. Generally sp

35、eaking, indoor air pollution may be more harmful than the air outside because _.A. indoor air pollution can often make people seriously illB. man-made building materials give off dangerous gasesC. there may be more harmful gases outside the buildingsD. the flow of air indoors is limited, which is ve

36、ry harmful40. Some kind of indoor pollution can be found in _.A. every modern houseB. every old houseC. all kinds of housesD.all kinds of offices41.

37、ergyC. the building things that are made of man-made materialsD. the man-made building materials and the limit of air-flow42. The reason why we should use different kinds of plants to clean the air is that _.A. plants can let out all kinds of pollutants indoorsB. plants may take in more oxygen which

38、 people needC. plants can absorb all kinds of harmful indoor chemicalsE. plants can make our houses prettier and more healthy（ D）New York: When the first plane struck 1 World Trade Center at 8:48 am on Tuesday, the people in 2 World Trade Center who saw the instant ( 瞬間的 ) damage to the other tower

39、realized clearly what they, too, must do: get out fast.Katherine Ilachinsiki,who had been knocked off her chair by the blast (一陣 )of heat exploding from thestneighboring tower, was one of those. Despite her 70 years of age, Mrs Ilachinsiki, an architect working on the 91 floor of 2 World Trade Cente

40、r, the south tower, went for the stairs. Twelve floors above her, Judy Wein, an executive ( 經(jīng)理 ), cried sharply and set off too.But others up and down the 110 floors, many without seeing the damage across the way and thus unclear about what was happening, were not so sure. And the 18 minutes before

41、the next plane would hit were ticking off.Most people had no idea about what was the best thing to do, formal announcements inside the south tower asked people to stay put, assuring (使 確信 ) them that the building was sound and the threat (威脅 )was limited to the other tower.Some left, others stayed.

42、Some began to climb down and, when met with more announcements and other4cautions (警告 ) to stop or return, went back up. The decisions made in those instants proved to be of great importance, because many who chose to stay were killed completely when the second plane crashed ( 墜落，碰撞 )into the south

43、tower.One of those caught in indecision ( 猶豫不決 ) was the executive at Fuji Bank USA.Richard Jacobs of Fuji Bank left the 79th floor with the other office workers, but on the 48th floor they heardthe announcement that the situation was under control. Several got in the lifts and went back up, two min

47、ers, generally aged eight and nine found that childrenwho cut thenumber of hours spent watching television increased nearly two pounds (0.91kg) less over a one-year period than those who did not change their television diet.“ Thefindings are important because they show that weight loss can only be t

And rates of childhood being very fat

49、 have doubled over the past 20 years,”said.In the study presented this week to the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting in San Francisco, theresearchers persuaded about 100 of the students to reduce their television viewing by one-quarter to one-third. Children watching fewer hours of televis
