　　　 Six years ago, my interest in football started when I watched the 2006 World Cup. 　41　 　In fact, football has influenced me in many ways and I have benefited ( 受益 ) a lot from it.

　　　 First,　 42　 　Through talking about football, I have known many people with the same interest as mine. We often exchange opinions with each other in our spare time and have fun.

　　　 Second, 　　43　 　For instance, I am a football fan of AC　 Milan. My passion for Milan has stimulated(刺激) me to learn Italian by myself because I wanted to learn morn about that special Italian club. And most football games I have watched are aired in English, so I have the chance to practice my English listening comprehension and to learn more English words about sports.

　　　 Third, 　44 　I remember Bai Yansong once says in his book that playing a football match is just like going through an act of life. I quite agree with him. In a football match, at first you are perhaps in a leading position,　 but if you don't keep working hard enough, your opponents may take advantage of your carelessness to win the match. Also in a football match, even you are left behind by a score of, say, 0--3 and you have limited match time left, you still have a chance and hope to win as long as you play really hard. I think it is the same in our real life.

　　　 In a word, 　45　 　I will go on living football and supporting my Milan.

Here are two amazing shops from the world.

One of the most famous department stores in New York City is Macy's.There are over 850 Macy's stores all over the US, but the flagship store is in Herald Square,Manhattan---just around the corner from the Empire State Building. Interestingly, Rowland Macy, the company founder ( 创始人 ), opened his first shops between 1843 and 1855, but they weren't　 successful. However, Macy learned from his mistakes, and in 1858 he moved to New York. He opened his first New York store on October 18, 1858 and was immediately successful. Macy's is especially famous for its Thanksgiving Day Parade, which marks the beginning of the Christmas season.

One of the oldest shops in London is Fortnum & Mason. It was founded by William Fortnum and Hugh Mason in 1707 in central London. Originally, the shop only sold food, but these days, it sells all kinds of other things including clothes, books and games. It has the "Gentleman's　 Department" on the top floor, a famous tea shop and several restaurants. The business started out small, but in 1761, William Fortnum’s grandson, Charles, went to work for Queen Charlotte. As a result, the royals ( 皇家 )　 started shopping there and continues to now. In fact, Queen Elizabeth visited Fortnum's last year. Fortnum's is really famous for its hampers, which are baskets of food. There are picnic hampers and Christmas hampers that are full of wines and Christmas food. They are extremely popular, but also expensive and can cost up to £25.000.
