England’s shameful defeat in the race to host the 2018 World Cup caused a bitter new “Cold War” with Russia last night.
The & 15 million bid — accompanied by David Cameron, Prince William and David Beckham — didn’t even get past the first round.
It secured just two of the 22 votes by committee members of football’s world governing body Fifa in a secret ballot (投票) — one of which was cast by England’s own FA Chairman Geoff Thompson.
Among strong suspicions of shady backroom deals, the tournament went to Russia.
Last night Downing Street did little to hide its anger and said Mr. Cameron had no plans to congratulate Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin personally “at the present time”.
Shortly after Fifa president Sepp Blatter declared Russia the winner for 2018, he announced that Qatar, a tiny desert country which has never even qualified to play in the World Cup, would host the 2022 tournament, beating bids from Australia, the United States and a joint bid from Japan and South Korea.
Fifa’s controversial decisions strengthened suspicions that the voting process was corrupt and that the sport’s world governing body had submitted to the energy-rich countries’ billions, meaning that England’s bid never stood a chance.
A “bitterly disappointed” and visibly furious Mr. Cameron said England had the best technical bid and what he believed was the strongest commercial bid, adding: “It turns out that’s not enough.”
Asked what more England could have done to secure the tournament, the Prime Minister replied: “I think that’s for others to say.”
When Mr. Cameron met Russian President Dmitry Medvedev he had challenged him to a “good clean fight” but last night the Prime Minister’s official spokesman refused to say the voting process was either good or clean.
Number 10 aides were furious with the outcome after Mr. Cameron had made two flying visits to Zurich where the vote was held and been up into the small hours yesterday like crazy lobbying for critical votes.
So despite three days of intense lobbying in Zurich by the Three Lions, the England bid team feared they had been damaged by an accusation of corruption against Fifa members by BBC’s Panorama and The Sunday Times.

78.According to the passage, _______ voted for England during the secret ballot.

A、England still has a long way to go to host the bid of the 2018 World Cup
B、England hasn’t been fully prepared for the bid of the 2018 World Cup
C、Russia has done far better than England to bid of the 2018 World Cup
D、there were dirty deals behind the decision
80.As can be concluded from the passage, one of the reasons for England’s failure might be _______.
A、its lack of experience
B、its bad economic
C、its lack of energy
D、an accusation by BBC’s Panorama and The Sunday Times

A primary school teacher who left a class of 25 pupils in tears after she told them Santa Claus did not
exist has been fired. When excited youngsters became rowdy as they talked a- bout Santa, the supply
teacher said out suddenly, "It's your parents who leave out presents on Christmas Day."
The class of seven-year-olds at Blackshaw Lane Primary School, Royton, Greater Manchester burst in
to tears and told their parents when they arrived home. Mothers and fa- thers then complained about the
incident and were sent a letter by the school saying the teacher, who only worked at the school for one day
last week, has been punished.
The school has now said it will not hire her again.
One father said, "My son came home and said that his teacher had told the class that Santa doesn't
exist and it's their mum and dad that put out presents for them. Obviously, they were all talking about
Christmas and being a bit rowdy. She just came straight out with it. "
"My son was in tears and so was everyone else in the class -- especially as it was so close to
Christmas. I thought it was wrong. He was crazy about it. He's only seven-year-old and it's part of the
magic of Christmas to him. "
"We told him that she did not believe in Father Christmas because of her religion and he's fine now. "
"The father described the incident as ' shocking' and believed it was done with malicious intent (恶意地). A lot of parents were angry and complained to the school. The teacher, who was supplied by
Rochdale and Oldham Supply Agency, is still listed and will work with other schools," the agency said.
However, the head teacher in Angela McCormick refused to comment on the incident.
