Part I Reading Comprehension (2* 20 points)

Passage 1

Some people argue that the pressure on international sportsmen and sportswomen kills the essence of spor-the pursuit of personal excellence. Children kick a football around for fun. When they get older and play for local school teams, they will become competitive but they still enjoy playing. The individual representing his country cannot afford to think about enjoying himself, and he has to think only about winning. He is responsible for the entire nation's hopes, dreams and reputation.

A good example is the FIFA World Cup. Football is the third most important sport in the world. 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,

Some sports fans and supporters get quite unreasonable about the World Cup. People in England felt that their country was somehow important after they won in 1966. In 1978, thousands of the Scots sold their cars, and even their houses, and spent all their money traveling to Argentina,where the finals were played.

So, am I arguing that international competition kills the idea of sport? Certainly not! Do the Argentinean really believe that because eleven of their men proved the most slilful 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.

Passage 2.

For years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead. "We can do without railways, people say, as if motorcars and planes made the railways unecessary. We all keep hearing that trains are slow, that they lose money, and that they're dying. But this is far from the truth. In these days when oil is expensive, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they're cheaper than planes.

Railways have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. What is more, it takes you from the heart of a city into the heart of another. But a railway doesn't leave you as a plane does, miles and miles away from the city center. It doesn't hold you up as a motorcar does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which no plane or motorcar could ever do.

Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modem railway lines give you a smooth, untroubled journey. Where else can you eat well, sleep in comfor, feel safe and enjoy the scene while you are traveling at speed at the same time? And we are only at the beginning. We have entered the age of superfast trains, traveling at 150 miles an hour and more. Soon we will be wondering why spend so much on motorways we can't use because We don't have enough money to buy oil and planes we can't fly for the same reason.

Passage 3

The way people hold to the belief that a fun-filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever ataining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.
