    The new product has drawn attention from some . A. famous people B. referees C. big companies D. countries D London--A morning train rides away, across the channel. English kids discuss the Liverpool's football team in a Paris pub. Some Parisians have started to travel to work in London. In the 19th century, Charles Dickens compared the two cities, London and Paris, in A Tale of Two Cities. These days, it might be A tale of One City. As there are few jobs at home over recent years, perhaps 250,000 Frenchmen moved across the channel. With an undersea tunnel, they could travel between cities in three hours. The European Union freed them from immigration and customs. Paris, rich in beauty, is more stylish. But London feels more full of life, and more fun until the pubs shut down. "For me, the difference is that London is real, alive," said Trevor Wheeler, a financial expert. Chantal Jaouen, a professional designer, agrees. "I am French, but I'll stay in London,'' she said. There is, of course, the other view. Julie Lenoux is a student who moved to London two years ago. "I think people laugh more in Paris," she said. "Both cities have changed beyond recognition," said Larry Collins, an author and sometimes a Londoner. Like most people who know both cities well, he finds the two now fit together comfortably. "I first fell in love with Paris in the 1950s. Things are so much more ordered, and life is better." But certainly not cheaper. In some parts of London, rents can be twice those on Avenue Foch in Paris. Deciding between London and Paris requires a lifestyle choice. Like Daphne Benoit, a French journalism student with perfect English, many young people are happy to be close enough so they don't have to choose. "I love Paris, my little neighbourhood, the way I can walk around a centre, but life is too organized , "she said. "In London, you can be whoever you want. No one cares." 【查看更多】

         While football fans feel strongly angry and shocked about mistakes made by referees (裁判) because
    they cannot see clearly what has happened, a small German company is quietly pleased.
         For Cairos Technologies, mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that money cannot buy. The company has developed a tiny chip(芯片) that fits inside a football and determines whether the ball
    has crossed the goal line, by being able to discover its exact location on the field. The world football
    organization, FIFA, has shown interest in the technology. It is very possible that the new technology will
    be used in the 2006 World Cup in Germany.
         "We've been testing the technology at the main soccer stadium in Nuremberg for some time and more
    recently in an under-17 FIFA Cup in Peru," said Gunter Rohmer, a director of the company. "The
    technology has performed well, and we're pretty optimistic that it will be used at the games in Germany
    next year."
          The chip only weighs 12 grams, and is placed in the center of the football. It sends 2,000 signals a
    second to a receiver network of 12 antennas(天线), placed around the field. The receivers then send
    information about the ball's location to a central computer, and because it works in real time, it can
    immediately tell the referee whether a goal has been scored. The chip even can tell when the ball crosses
    the line in mid-air. Oliver Braun, one of the inventors of the chip, says that feedback from German referees was generally positive. Germany sports-wear giant Adidas is also optimistic about using this kind of chip
    in other ball sports.
         FIFA aims to test the technology later this year at another game in Japan before deciding whether or
    not to introduce it in all 12 stadiums in Germany for next year's World Cup.

    D. they can sell a lot of football in the future
    2. In the first sentence in Paragraph 2,"... mistakes made by referees are the kind of advertising that
