Football
Modern football originated in England in the 19th century. The first international football match was played in 1871 between Scotland and England and the final score was nil all. Nil is the term used in football to indicate a score of zero and nil all means both teams did not score.
FIFA stands for Federation of International Football Associations and was founded in Paris on 21st May 1904. The first World Cup was held in South America in Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay in July 1930. FIFA's president at the time, Jules Rimet, was able to persuade 13 teams to meet in Uruguay. Uruguay, planning the celebration of its 100th anniversary of independence in 1930, was assigned the organisation of the first FIFA World Cup. It was the only event not to involve the modern qualifying rounds and the only European teams that came were France, Belgium, Yugoslavia, and Romania. Other European teams either wished to remain in purely amateur events, or argued that the time needed for the trip to South America was far too long. Other than Uruguay six additional South American teams participated, including Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Peru. Two teams remained to complete the final 13 for 1930, Mexico and the United States. Victory and the first World Cup went to Uruguay when they beat Argentina four two in the final.
The French sculptor, Abel Lafleur, created the first World Cup trophy, the famous Jules Rimet Cup. This trophy had an interesting history. During the Second World War, it was hidden from the Germans under a bed in an Italian home. After surviving World War Ⅱ, the World Cup was stolen in London during a public exhibition just before the 1966 England World Cup. Fortunately, the trophy was found hidden under a bush by a dog named Pickles before the tournament began. It was stolen again in Brazil in 1983 after the soccer superpower won it permanently after their third World Cup success in 1970. The trophy has never been recovered and many believe that thieves melted it down, leaving Brazil with only a replica of the cup. Under FIFA regulations revised after the disappearance of the Jules Rimet Cup, nowadays even three time champions cannot permanently keep the trophy.
The present trophy is the work of an Italian sculptor named Silvio Gazzaniga and it is 36 centimeters tall and weighs 4.97 kilograms. It was first awarded at the 1974 games in Germany and the champions of the 2006 tournament, also to be held in Germany, will take home a gold-plated replica, which is a little smaller than the original.
Brazil and Germany are the most successful teams in the history of World Cup football. Brazil has won the World Cup five times, including the 2002 World Cup in Japan/South Korea, and taken second place twice. Germany has made it to the final seven times and won the World Cup three times. The only player to have won three World Cups is the Brazilian, Pele whose real name is Edson Arantes do Nascimento.
From 9 June to 9 July 2006, 32 teams will be playing in Germany for the title of the 18th FIFA Football World Champion. There will be a total of 64 matches at 12 venues. After the World Cup in 1974, this is the second time Germany will host the greatest football event in the world and 3.2 million football fans and guests are expected from around the world. The opening match is in Munich on 9 June 2006 and the final match will be in Berlin on 9 July 2006. It will be Germany's second time to host the World Cup after 1974. So far the tournament has been arranged 9 times in Europe, 4 times in Latin America, 2 times in Central America, once in North America and once in Asia(Korea & Japan). It has been never arranged in Africa.
A record number of 205 national teams participated in the qualifiers and there were some surprises in the results. Of the five teams from Africa, Ghana, Togo, Angola and Cote d'Iv

Optimists Really Do Live Longer, Say Scientists
1. For the philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer optimism was fundamentally wrong banal and corrupting, while the father of psychoanalysis Sigmund Freud simply declared it to be neurotic.
2. Experience shows that looking on the bright side of life does have advantages and recent scientific evidence points to the positive mindset(思想倾向) as being beneficial to health. In other words optimists live longer.
3. That was the conclusion reached by experts at the Mayo Clinic in the US State of Minnesota who evaluated answers given by people to a set of questions in the 1960s. Of the 729 candidates, 200 had died and according to scientists, there were a disproportionate number of pessimists among them.
4. The points more on the pessimism scale-that was the difference between "slightly pessimistic" and "averagely pessimistic"-were enough to boost a person's chances of dying by 19 percent, according to the study by prominent psychologist Martin Seligman of the University of Pennsylvania.
5. The study does not say why pessimists die but an older survey taken among children in San
Francisco and Los Angeles makes it clear that personal attitude towards the world is a key factor in the longevity equation.
6. The latest evidence to support the theory that optimists tend to cope better with illness of all kinds has been provided by professor Ralf Schwarzer of Berlin's Free University who questioned 600 heart and lung patients. His conclusion: optimists recover more swiftly from operations than their pessimistic counterparts, tend to be happier after treatment and return to work more swiftly.
7. There have been suggestions that optimists do not stay healthier but rather turn into optimists later because they enjoy good health. Numerous surveys have taken into account a person's state of health at the outset (最初) and the effect remains the same.
8. Studies have shown that optimists do not blind themselves to reality either. They thus interpret it in a positive way. "Sublimating (vi.升华) and denying things tend to alter reality but illusions are a way of seeing reality in the best light," said California.
9. German science journal Bild der Wissenschaft, which carries a major article on the topic in its current March issue, commented on "the right attitude" to having a tumor.
10. It seems psychotherapy can go some way towards extending the life span and life quality of a sick person although a complete recovery using psychological technique alone is unlikely.
11. Doctors like, however, to point to the example of US cycling professional Lance Armstrong, who was seriously ill with cancer, but whose unshakeable optimism helped him to take the top trophy twice at cycling's premiers Tour de France.
12. The magazine also quoted a study by Sheldon Cohens of the Caregie Mellon University in Pittsburgh: 420 volunteers were deliberately infected with strains of various common cold viruses. A day later checks were carried out to see who had caught a cold.
13. The results showed that in the case of people who had satisfactory, long-term relations with friends, neighbors or colleagues, the virus was less likely to trigger a cold. Of people with three of fewer firm relationships 62 percent became ill compared with only 35 percent of those who had six or more close human links.
A. Quicker recovery from illness
B. A longer life for optimists
C. Relationship between good health and optimism
D. A positive way of understanding reality
E. Optimism and pessimism
F. Optimists with illusions

Final stars under microscope
At the kick-off of Wednesday evening's UEFA Champions League final, there were 16 players on the Stade de France turf whose next assignment will be in Germany in June.
With little over three weeks before the start of the FIFA World Cup, the match duly offered FIFA-worldcup, cons an ideal last chance to assess the form. of some of the summer's likely headline-makers.
Jens Lehmann(GER, Arsenal)
It is net easy to evaluate a player who spent only 18 minutes on the pitch. In this highly limited time span, the Mannschaft's first-choice keeper was only called upon to repel a couple of straightforward shots, one from Ludovic Giuly and the other from Deco. That said, his first goal-kick was wayward and with his confidence affected, he then restricted himself to short passes to his defenders. Caught out in a one-on-one with Samuel Eto'o, Lehmann was rightly dismissed for felling his opponent and watched the majority of the match from the stands.
Carlos Puyol(ESP, Barcelona)
For a long time, it looked as though Thierry Henry would never succeed in shaking off his shaggy-haired marker. Solid and tigerish, the Spanish central defender allowed the Arsenal striker very little space for the first hour of the game. But as time went on, he seemed to increasingly struggle to keep up with the Gunners' attacks. No doubt his long and punishing season has caught up with him, but a few weeks' rest should see him restored to his best in time for Germany.
Rafael Marquez(MEX, Barcelona)
While always precise and effective with the ball at his feet, the Mexican defender was regularly troubled by the pace of Henry. Rescued by his goalkeeper in the third minute after being caught flat-footed by the French striker, he could have been sent off a few moments later for a tackle front behind that caught the same player on the ankle. Like Puyol, he was guilty of allowing opposing players to get in be- hind him too often during the second half.
Giovanni van Bronckhorst(NED, Barcelona)
Although excellent on the counter, the Dutchman is not really a natural defender. Always looking to get forward, he has a tendency to drift from his left-back position into a more advanced role. You would not want to change him too much, though, for just like Marco van Basten's Orange side, Barcelona got considerable rewards from his forward forays. Moreover, he never stopped running until the final whistle.
Emmanuel Eboue(CIV, Arsenal)
Cote d'Ivoire has one of the best right-backs in the world. Active, willing and technically adept, Eboue left a really positive impression on the Stade de France crowd. Hurt in a first-half clash with Giovanni van Bronckhorst, he seemed to struggle somewhat after that, but the fact that Samuel Eto'o and Ronaldinho-whom he found himself up against most often-shone only fleetingly was to a large extent down to him. The only feature of his game that might work against him in Germany is an unwelcome tendency to complain.
Kolo Toure(CIV, Arsenal)
The linchpin of Arsenal's defence, Kolo Toure is one player who can justifiably feel hard done by at having lost this final. So sparkling was his individual perfromance that, whether faced by Ronaldinho, Eto'o or Henrik Larsson, the Ivorian always looked comfortable. Invariably positioned in the ideal spot, Toure seemed to be omnipresent(无所不在的) on the pitch. His understanding with countryman Eboue is a big plus for club and country and he is sure to be a vital cog in Henri Michel's machine this summer. Sol Campbell(ENG, Arsenal)
If his club had lifted the trophy with the big ears, then Sol Campbell would surely have been elevated to the rank of hero. His imperious header may have given the English team the advantage, but in the end, he was repeatedly found wanting as Barcelona proceeded to wrest control of the encounter from their oppo

听力原文：Interviewer: My guest today is Douglas Turner, who recently spent a weekend climbing a mountain in Africa. Douglas, how did this come about？
Douglas: Well, I suppose it started with seeing adverts for activity holidays in the national press week after week; it somehow got into my subconscious. Then there was one which said, 'Are you ready for the greatest physical challenge of your life？ 5,000 metres. One weekend', and somewhat against my better judgement, I found myself picking up the phone straight away. You see, I simply hadn't trained for it, the nearest I'd got was a bit of hill-walking five years ago.
Interviewer: What did you think you would get out of the weekend？
Douglas: Generally when I go to things I enjoy meeting people, but in this case I was afraid the rest of the group would be a bunch of healthy types, and I wouldn't have much in common with them. And as for the physical effort of climbing the mountain, I thought I'd be lucky if I survived the weekend at all! It was more a kind of wanting to see what I was mentally capable of doing, would I get cold feet and not go at all, or go, but give up halfway up, that sort of thing.
Interviewer: But you made it to the top.
Douglas: Yes, I did. Much to my surprise, I can tell you.
Interviewer: And were you right about the other people？
Douglas: No, actually. There were a few serious walkers and climbers, but most of the participants were professional people who wanted to do something ,quite different once in a while, more or less like me, in fact. So not intimidating after all. Though I have to admit that nearly all of them were fleer than me. Actually I hadn't realised so many people did this sort of thing. It was funny, when I told a friend that I was going, she said, 'Oh, not another one. Everyone I know's going climbing this year. There's a big thing about pushing yourself to your limit at the moment, isn't there？ You're welcome to it,' she said. 'You won't catch me up there.'
Interviewer: How did you all get on together？
Douglas: I suppose we were a bit suspicious of each other at first, but that soon went, and we somehow developed a really close group feeling, and nobody complained about having to wait for the slow ones, which usually included me. Or at least, if they did complain, they did it out of earshot. In fact, on the flight home we were busy exchanging cards and decided to book another weekend trip as a party-- but without a mountain in sight this time.
Interviewer: Se how did the weekend compare with your expectations？
Douglas: It was much better than I'd expected. It made me change, in subtle ways. As I'd hoped, I gained in self-knowledge, and I learnt to get on with people I couldn't escape from, but I also became much more observant, of the tiny little wild flowers, for instance, and that was quite a bonus.
Interviewer: I suppose you're going to be a regular mountain climber now.
Douglas: The pair of boots I wore, I'm keeping with the mud still on them, on my desk at work. They're a kind of trophy, to prove to myself that rve done it. But I somehow don't think I'll be using them again. I'm going to have to put them somewhere less visible, though, because it's sometimes a bit embarrassing when other people are impressed.
Interviewer: Douglas Turner, thank you very much.
Douglas: Thank you.
How did Douglas feel when he booked the weekend？
A．sure that he would enjoy training for it
B．uncertain if it was a good idea for him
C．surprised that such activities were organised
