For the first time the world cup soccer competition will be held in the United States. While millions play the game aroun
32、d the world, soccer or football has only recently become popular here. It is only in the last 30 years that large numbers of young Americans became interested in soccer. Now it is the fastest growing sport in the country. A recent study found that almost 18 million young boys and girls play soccer i
33、n the United States. The study also found that soccer is beginning to replace more traditional games like American football as the most popular sport among students. And so, when the world cup begins next week, more than one million Americans are expected to go and see the teams play. Organizers say
34、 this year s world cup will be the biggest ever. All the seats at most of the 52 games have already been sold. Soccer has been played in the United States for a little more than one hundred years. But how did the sport come to this country? And how long has it existed in other parts of the world? No
35、 one knows exactly where the idea for soccer came from, or when people began playing the game. Some scientists say there is evidence that ball games using the feet were played thousands of years ago. There is evidence that ancient Greeks and Romans and native American Indians all played games simila
36、r to soccer. Most experts agree that Britain is the birthplace of modern soccer. They also agree that the British spread the game around the world. Unlike the game today, which uses balls of man-made material or leather, early soccer balls were often made of animal stomachs. The rules of early socce
37、r games also differed from those we have today. 41 Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the text? （ A） Americans were preparing for the world cup when the author wrote this article. （ B） More younger Americans became interested in soccer in the last 30 years. （ C） Soccer is the

40、attempts to start a professional soccer organization in the U. S （ B） In the 12th century soccer games in Britain often involved whole towns. （ C） Professional soccer grew quickly in Europe. （ D） Experts believed that the United States would win. 45 The cohesiveness(内聚力 )of a family seems to rely on
41、 members sharing certain routine practices and events. For a growing share of the American labor force, however, working shifts beyond the normal daylight hours what we here call “shift work“makes the lives of families difficult. Existing research shows that both male and female shift workers expres
42、s high levels of stress and a sense of conflict between the demands of work and family life. But shift work couples still maintain a traditional attitude to the meaning of marriage and the individual roles of husband and wife. They expressed a willingness to do “whatever it takes“ to approximate the
43、ir view of a proper marriage, including sacrificing sleep and doing conventional things at unconventional hours. For the majority of couples interviewed, even when wives worked outside their homes, a proper marriage is characterized by a very clear division of roles: husbands are “providers“ whose m
44、ajor responsibility is to support the family; wives are “homemakers“ who clean, cook, and care for husbands and children. The women s definitions of a “good husband“ are typified by the following wife s response: I expect him to be a good provider, and be there when I need him, loyal about the same
45、things as he would expect out of me, expect that I expect him to dominate over me. But in a manner of speaking , when it s time to be a man I expect him to stand up instead of sitting back expecting me to do everything. To husbands, a good wife is someone who is: Understanding of what I feel go thro
46、ugh at work. I need that respect at work, I hope I get it at work. I want my wife to realize what I expect at work. I don t want her to give me a lot of shit when I come home from work because I don t know if this makes much sense. These views seemed critical to maintain the families of the shift wo
47、rkers. 46 Despite_, shift work couples still hoped to maintain a stable life. （ A） traditional beliefs about marriage （ B） lack of control over time （ C） a very clear division of roles （ D） the demands of work 47 From the selection, we can conclude that female shift workers were NOT satisfied with （

49、 （ C） Shift work couples had unconventional ideas about marriage. （ D） Female shift workers were satisfied with the time spent together with their families. 49 In order to continue the marriages of the shift workers, _. （ A） wives must learn to care for the children when their husbands are absent （ B） shift work couples must administer their time and activities （ C） wives mustn t adapt their own feelings of boredom
