    　　Life was pretty terrible for most people in London 100 years ago．They had to suffer from noise, smoke and dirt．The noise came from the railway, and the smoke and dirt came from the train and thousands of factories all around them．The smoke got together with fog and hung in the air for days．Diseases killed thousands of children．Families were large but often five out of seven children would die before they were five years old．

    　　Is life really better than it was 100 years ago? It is certainly true that people live longer than they used to, travel faster than they could and own more things than they did．But they still have to suffer from noise, overcrowding and bad air which are still a basic part of modern life．

    　　100 years ago there was a clear difference between town and country．But the motor car has changed all that．One motorway can take up a huge amount of land．Cars are also a basic part of modern life．

    　　But industry and modern life do not have to be enemies of beauty．We can have both beauty and progress．In fact, we need clean rivers and open countryside just as much as people did 100 years ago．But nowadays the problem is that it’s becoming more and more difficult to have open land, clean water and fresh air．

    Though there are so many passages about positive thinking, few people really understand what it is. Being positive doesn’t mean ignoring (忽视) what is happening around us. If someone is going through problems or living in a difficult situation, we cannot expect him to ignore his problems and start thinking positively right away.
    It is easier to think positively when we are in a comfortable situation, rather than a bad situation. We cannot think positively when we have problems, unless we are trained to. No one can speak a foreign language before studying and practicing for some time. The same thing is true about being positive. However, saying that everything is going to be all right, smiling for no reason, or ignoring problems without trying to solve them, is not being positive. It is daydreaming.
    Positive people expect the best and believe that a bad situation will be improved, but they are also practical (明智的) people. They look for opportunities and solutions instead of doing nothing. They can improve a bad situation with a positive attitude. They can not only keep thinking of the problem that they face, but they can also refuse to let the problem affect their mind too much.
    Positive thinking is being hopeful, and hope brings light and happiness into our life. One can just live with a bad attitude, or one can try to do one’s best in a bad situation. It is a matter of choice.
    小题1: When we are in bad situation, it is ____ for us to think positively at once.
    A．harderB．easier
    C．quickerD．slower
    小题2: Which one of the following is being positive?
    A．Ignoring everything that we are facing.
    B．Doing nothing but thinking.
    C．Daydreaming all day.
    D．Trying to solve problems.
    小题3:Which of the following is NOT true, according to the passage?
    A．Being positive can be trained, like learning a language.
    B．Positive people can look for solutions in bad situations.
    C．Problems can have a bad influence on positive people.
    D．Positive thinking is helpful for everyone.

    Brazil (巴西) is the greatest football nation in the world. There are 100 million Brazilians (巴西人). How many of them are football fans? 100 million! All of them think that they know all about football. This makes life very difficult for the Brazilian team manager. When things go badly for the Brazilian team, the newspaper would demand (要求) that the team manager should leave his job. “If we win, they put me in heaven (天堂),” as a manager once said, “If we lose, they put me in hell (地狱).”

    You can’t escape football in Brazil. There are football matches on every street and beach. On television, the results of the football matches come before the main news programs. There are six television channels in Rio de Janeiro. On Sundays each channel shows a different football match.

    Brazil is not the richest country in the world, but the government spends huge sums of money on football. It cost more than one billion pounds to prepare for the 1978 World Cup. That’s 10 pounds for every Brazilian man, woman, and child. And many Brazilians don’t earn as much as 10 pounds a week. Is it worth it?

    “Brazil must have a great football team,” says one journalist. “If it costs one billion pounds, that’s all right. If the government doesn’t give a good football team, then it will become unpopular. Football is more than a game in Brazil.”

    Football is more than a game in Brazil. This is certainly true in its largest city, Sao Paulo. The most popular team is Corinthians. Corinthians’ fans are the most loyal (忠实的) and emotional in Brazil. When Corinthians win, production in the Sao Paulo car factories increases by fifteen per cent. When they lose, it drops. At one time Corinthians won the national championship for the first time. For four days fans danced and sang in the streets.

    74. In Brazil the number of football fans and its population are __________.

    A. the same       B. less                   C. more           D. 100 billion

    75. Life for __________ is no easy, for he will be put in hell if the football team loses.

    A. a football fan      B. any government official          C. the Brazilian team manager     D. a football player

    76. It is the __________ that come before the main news programs on television.

    A. football matches                   B. results of football matches

    C. football matches on the streets           D. football matches on the beaches

    77. The government spent __________ in preparing for the 1978 World Cup though the country was not rich.

    A. one billion dollars      B. one million pounds      C. one billion pounds      D. one million RMB

    78. Football is more than a game in Brazil. The underlined sentence means “In Brazil __________.”

    A. people like football very much     B. there is something else in football

    C. people are keen on competition    D. football has influences (影响) on the politics and economy of the nation

    79. The best title of the passage is __________.

    A. Brazilians and Football            B. Brazilians’ Way of Life

    C. Football and Income             D. Football and Government
