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 representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself he has to think only about winning He is responsible for an entire nation s hopes dreams and reputation A good example is the football World Cup Football is the world s most important sport Winning the World Cup is perhaps the summit of international sporting success Mention Argentina to someone and the chances are that he ll think of football In a sense winning the World Cup put Argentina on the map Sports fans and supporters get quite irrational about the World Cup People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1996 Last year

sport Certainly not Does the Argentinean really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most skilful at football their nation is in every way better than all others Not really But it s nice to know that you won and that in one way at least your country is the best 1 What is the author s main purpose in the passage A To prove that football is the world most important sport B To show

companies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday but only on Friday This became known as dress down Friday or casual Friday What started out as an extra one day a week benefit for

a conservative dress code Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing comfortable clothes In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and Company 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productive Supporters of casual office wear also
