some of footballs highest-paid playerscouldnt get the ball into the net. and they were playing against sides that only just made it to the world cup.with two defeats, one draw（平局）and no goals, france collected its newest title since rising to the top of the game four years ago: the worst defending champion in world cup history.“im very disappointed, its the end of a beautiful story,” said a french striker david trezeguet. “the story began in 1998 and ended today against denmark.”france won the 2000 european championships and was ranked the best team on the planet before the world cup.besides the goalposts and crossbars seeming to be against this unlucky team, frances game plan has been the same for four years so opponents (competitors) know it by heart.senegal, an african team playing in its first world cup, surprised everyone by beating france in the opening world cup match before entering the second round successfully.uruguay and denmark followed a similar strategy to stop france, creating a defensive barrier（屏障）and launching many counter-attacks.following france, argentina became the second big-name to take an early plane home from this years world cup.the south americans were expected to become world champions for a third time. this was particularly because of an impressive display when they lost just one of their 18 qualifying matches.the teams 1-0 loss to england on june 7 was the beginning of a nightmare for the players. but even after this surprising defeat, they never thought that they would be going home so soon. but a 1-1 draw in argentinas final group match against sweden made the unexpected a reality.51by saying “two of the worlds highest-ranked teams” in the first paragraph, it means asenegal and denmarkburuguay and denmarkcengland and swedendfrance

only by 10dthey beat a strong opponentsweden(d)if you were to walk up to arthur bonner and say, “hey, butterfly man,” his face would break into a smile. the title suits him. and he loves it.arthur bonner works with the palos verdes blue butterfly, once thought to have died out. today the butterfly is coming back thanks to him. but years ago if youd told him this was what hed be doing someday, he would have laughed, “youre crazy.” as a boy, he used to be “a little tough guy on the streets”. at age thirteen, he was caught by police stealing. at eighteen, he landed in prison for shooting a man.“i knew it had hurt my mom,” bonner said after he got out of prison. “so i told myself i would not put my mom through that pain again.”one day he met professor mattoni, who was working to rebuild the habitat for an endangered butterfly called el segundo blue.“i saw the sign butterfly habitat and asked, how can you have a habitat when the butterflies can just fly away?” bonner recalls. “dr. mattoni laughed and handed me a magnifying glass (放大镜), look at the leaves. i could see all these caterpillars(蝴蝶的幼虫) on the plant. dr mattoni explained, without the plant, there are no butterflies.”weeks later, bonner received a call from dr. mattoni, who told him there was a butterfly which needed help. that was how he met the palos verdes blue. since then hes been working for four years to help bring the butterfly back. he grows astragals, the only plant the butterfly eats. he collects butterflies and brings them into a lab to lay eggs. then he puts new butterflies into the habitat. the butterflys population, once almost zero, is now up to 900. for their work, bonner and dr. mattoni received lots of awards. but for bonner, he earned something more: he turned his life around. for six years now bonner has kept his promise to stay out of prison. while hes bringing back the palos verdes blue, the butterfly has helped bring him back, too.56. when he was young, arthur
