Football

is

more

than

a

sport;

it

is

also

an

invaluable

31

.

In

teaching

young

players

to

cooperate with their fellows on the practice

32

, the game shows them the necessity of teamwork in

society. It prepares them to be

33

citizens and persons.

Wherever football is played, the players learn the rough-and-tumble lesson that only through the

34

of each member can the team win. It is a lesson they must always

35

on the field. Off the

field, they continue to keep it in mind. In society, the former player does not look upon himself as a lone

wolf who has the right to remain

36

from the society and go his own way. He understands his place

in the team; he knows he is a member of society and must

37

himself as such. He realizes that only

by

cooperating

can

he

do

his

38

in

making

society

what

it

should

be.

The

man

who

has

played

football knows that teamwork is

39

in modern living. He is also aware that every citizen must do

his part if the nation is to

40

. So he has little difficulty in adjusting himself to his role in family life

and in the business world, and to his duties as a citizen.

(A) cooperation

(B) prosper

(C) teacher

(F) essential

為題組

On the island of New Zealand, there is a grasshopper-like species of insect that is found nowhere

else on earth. New Zealanders have given it the nickname

weta

, which is a native Maori word meaning

“god of bad looks.”

It

’

s easy to see why anyone would call this insect a bad-looking bug. Most people

feel disgusted at the sight of these bulky, slow-moving creatures.
