(根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)（12分）Brazil (巴西) is the greatest football nation in the world. There are 100 million Brazilians (巴西人). How many of them are football fans? 100 million! All of them think that they know all about football. This makes life very difficult for the Brazilian team manager. When things go badly for the Brazilian team, the newspaper would demand (要求) that the team manager should leave his job. “If we win, they put me in heaven (天堂),” as a manager once said, “If we lose, they put me in hell (地狱).”You cant escape football in Brazil. There are football matches on every street and beach. On television, the results of the football matches come before the main news programs. There are six television channels in Rio de Janeiro.

Is it worth it?“Brazil must have a great football team,” says one journalist. “If it costs one billion pounds, thats all right. If the government doesnt give a good football team, then it will become unpopular. Football is more than a game in Brazil.”Football is more than a game in Brazil. This is certainly true in its largest city, Sao Paulo. The most popular team is Corinthians. Corinthians fans are the most loyal (忠实的) and emotional in Brazil. When Corinthians win, production in the Sao Paulo car factories increases by fifteen per cent. When they lose, it drops. At one time Corinthians won the national championship for the first time. For four days fans danced and sang in the streets.74. In Brazil the number of football fans and its population are _.A. the same B. less C. more D. 100 billion75.

(选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)（12分）In America, people dont keep their old people at home. At a certain age they put them away. In my country, the old people stay in the home until they _80_. But here, things are not like that. Its surprising to me that they put them away. The first thing they think of is a nursing home (养老院). Some of these people dont need a nursing home.

H_86_, there can also be serious disadvantages if it is a small family. The parents have big responsibilities (责任) of raising children by themselves if they have no help from other family m_87_. Today, it is quite common for both parents to work full time in order to pay for the basic cost of living of family. When the parents come home, they are often very t_88_ from a hard day at work. Still, they have to take care of the children, cook, clean, wash clothes, shop, etc. When there is only one parent, of course the responsibilities of looking after the children are much h_89_ for him or her. They have to work out all the things by themselves. They just hope that everything goes right every day. More and more, people in small families have been trying to create their own extended families (大家庭) to meet their needs. They often try to develop a net-work of friends and neighbors to be part of their self-created extended family. For example, small families may celebrate holidays t_90_ and, if there are children, they may share responsibilities of child raising. Your child might go to a neighbors h_91_ or apartment after school on certain days, and then you would do something in e_92_ to help your neighbor out.
