Soccer
25、 is played by millions of people all over the world, but there have only been few players who were truly great.

26、-players that a young boy can look up to and try to imitate (效仿 ). In the history of soccer, only six countries have ever won the World Cup-throe from South America and three from Western Europe.

27、ond, these players have all had years of practice in the game. Alfredo Di Stefano was the son of a soccer player, as was Pele. Most players begin playing the game at the age of three or four. Finally, many great players come from the same kind of neighbourhood (聚居区 )- a poor, crowded area where a bo
28、ys dream is not to be a doctor, lawyer, or businessman, but to become a rich, famous athlete or entertainer. For example, Liverpool, which produced the Beatles (甲壳虫乐队 ), had one of the best English soccer teams in recent years. Pele practiced in the street with a “ball“ made of rags (破布 ). And Georg
29、e Best learned the tricks that made him famous by bouncing the ball off a wall in the slums (贫民窟 ) of Belfast. All great players have a lot in common, but that doesnt explain why they are great. Hundreds of boys played in those Brazilian streets, but only one became Pele. The greatest players are bo

The original chocolate drink was made from the seeds of the cocoa t
35、ree (可可树 ) by South American Indians. The Spanish introduced it to the rest of the world during the 1500s. And although it was very expensive, it quickly became fashionable.

36、o from the New World. Around 1600, the Spanish brought it from Peru to Europe, where it soon was widely grown. Ireland became so dependent on it that thousands of Irish people starved when the crop failed during the “Potato Famine (饥荒 )“ of 1845-1846, and thousands more were forced to leave their ho
37、meland and move to America. There are many other foods that have traveled from South America to the Old World. But some others went in the opposite direction.

38、native to Ethiopia, a country in Africa. It was first made into a drink by Arabs during the 1400s.

In fact, I remember the evening I was at a girlfriends house, and we were
43、watching a movie-a terribly romantic movie. He (the hero of the movie) was in love, she (his lady) was beautiful, and they were both smoking. My friend had only two cigarettes from a pack in her mothers purse, and she gave one to me. It was my first time. My parents didnt care much. They both smoked
44、, and my older brother did too. My mother told me that smokers dont grow tall, but I was already 56“ (taller than most of the boys in my class), so I was happy to hear that “fact. In school, the teachers talked against smoking, but the cigarette advertisements were so exciting. The men in the ads we
45、re so good-looking and so successful, and the women were-well, they were beautiful and sophisticated (老于世故的 ). I read a book called How to Stop Smoking. The writer said that smoking wastes time, and that cigarettes cost a lot of money. “So what?“ I thought. The book didnt say that smoking can take a
46、way years of your life. But ten years later, everyone began to hear about the negative effects of cigarette smoke: lung disease, cancer, and heart problems. After that, there was a health warning on every pack of cigarettes. I didnt pay much attention to the reports and warnings. I felt healthy, and
47、 I thought I was taking good care of myself. Then two events changed my mind. First, I started to cough. I thought it was just a cold, but it didnt get better. Second, my brother got lung cancer. He got sicker and sicker. My brother and I used to smoke cigarettes together over twenty years ago, and
48、we smoked our last cigarettes together the day before he died. I sat with him in his hospital room, and I decided to quit. “NO more cigarettes, ever,“ I said to myself. However, it was very hard to stop. Nicotine (尼古丁 ) is a drug; as a result, Cigarettes cause a powerful addiction. I tried several t
49、imes to quit on my own-without success. I made excuses. I told myself: Smoking helps me keep my figure-i.e. I dont gain weight when I smoke. Smoking not only relaxes me but it also helps me think clearly. Im a free, liberated woman. I can smoke when I want to. Finally, I ran out of excuses-I might say my excuses went up in smoke. I joined the “Stop Smoking“ program at the local hospital, which also ended up in failure. 41 How the writer started smoking shows the powerful influence of （ A） educat
