16、ands of years ago, in the middle of an ocean, miles from the nearest island, an undersea volcano (火山) broke out. The hot liquid rock piled higher and higher and spread wider and wider. In this way, an island rose up in the sea.2 As time went on, hot sun and cool rains made the rock split and break i

17、nto pieces. Sea waves dashed against the rock. In this way, soil and sand came into being.3 Nothing lived on the naked soil. And then the wind and birds brought plant seeds, spiders and other little creatures there. Only plants could grow at first. Only they, in sunlight, could produce food from the

18、 minerals of the soil, water and air. While many animals landed on the island, they could find no food. A spider spun its web in vain, because there were no insects for its web to catch. Insects couldnt stay until there were plants for them to eat. So plants had to be the pioneer life on this new is

22、ue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence (真谛) of sportthe pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual repres

23、enting his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself. He has to think only about winning. He is responsible for the entire nations hopes, dreams and reputation.2 A good example is the football Word Cup. Football is the worlds most important sport. Winning the World Cup is perhaps the sum

24、mit of international sporting success. Mention Argentina (阿根廷) to someone and the chances are that hell think of football. In a sense， winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map.3 Sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was

25、 somehow important after they won in 1966. Last year thousands of Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina, where the finals were played.4 So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport?

26、 really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skillful at football, their nation is in every way better than all others? Not really.

29、cause _.A) they wanted to have a tripB) they wanted to see the finals of the World CupC) they wanted to live thereD) they loved Argentina very much10.
