Big football matches are always exciting affairs．Besides the action on the field, the noise the crowd makes really creates the unique atmosphere．At this summer’s World Cup, you can be sure that every country’s fans will be in full voice，supporting their teams．
The football chant(口號(hào))is as old as the sport itself．It’s a way for fans to express their support for their team．It’s not uncommon for the noise of supporters to provide the encouragement for a team to win a match．Most agree that a chant is for building a great atmosphere and to support the team．
One of the most famous football songs is the Liverpool club anthem(頌歌)You’Never Walk Alone，originally from a 1945 Broadway show，which was adopted by Liverpool and is sung
before every match．It has been said that as soon as the opposite hears the song，they become
aware of how tough winning at Anfield (Liverpool’s stadium)will be．
The key to a good football song is that it should be simple．It has to he easy for all fans to
sing along with．When I went to watch Beijing Guo’an last season, I could join in one chant
though I could only speak a little Chinese．“Beijing wo ai ni�！眛he Guo'an fans sang—you
didn't have to be gifted to work out what that meant.
At the World Cup，the first songs you’ll hear at matches will he the national anthems．Fans and players join together to sing the anthems before each match, and it is considered a mark of
respect that the opposite remains silent while each team's an them is being sung．
So, even though I’ll be supporting England from home in the summer, you can be sure I'll be
chanting at my TV：“En-ger-land, En-ger-land, En-ger-land!”

Henry works in a factory. He comes from a poor family and was in school for only four years. He has to do the hard work, but he is paid less. He likes to watch football matches very much and spends much time on them.

Thanksgiving is an important festival in North America. We interviewed several students from the US and Canada. Here is what they have told us about their Thanksgiving experiences.
Josie from New York, USA
“In America, Thanksgiving is celebrated every year at the end of November. It is to remember the first group of people from Europe to live in America. When they first arrived, they found the environment strange. But they learned to survive after some native American friends showed them how to grow and find food. Thanksgiving is meant to be a traditional celebration.”
Todd from California, USA
“Thanksgiving is the first day of Christmas shopping. That means we have four weeks to buy Christmas presents for our families and friends. For me and my friends, the most important part of the festival is the big football game on TV. The match is watched by millions of people all over America. Thanksgiving is seen as an exciting day for football!”
Ian from Saskatoon, Canada
In Canada, Thanksgiving is held on the 2nd Monday in October. On the Sunday before Thanksgiving Day, many people go to church. Thanks is given for all the good things that happened to them during the year. I always give thanks for the nice big turkey I’m going to have at the family dinner! Like all festivals, Thanksgiving is about food!
Katie from Maritimes, Canada
On Thanksgiving Day, we have dinner with all our cousins, aunts and uncles. It is always very busy. Sometimes we have two Thanksgiving dinners because we go to both our grandparents’ houses. The dinner is usually attended by more than twenty people at each house! My mother and my aunts do all the cooking but the washing-up is done by me and my cousins. And that’s not an easy job! But I don’t mind because Thanksgiving is meant to be a time to give thanks.

For most of my 15 years, my father usually said very little to my mother and me. He preferred reading the newspaper or watching football matches on television to talking to his family.
Everything changed one morning. As soon as I came downstairs to breakfast, I could see that he wasn’t his usual reserved (緘默的) self. “Can’t wait! FIFA World Cup! Big match! Must see!” I quickly figured out what all the excitement was about: Dad is a big football fan.
I had never been interested in football, but Dad’s excitement that morning made me more and more curious. I had to find out why this sport was making my normally reserved father act like a five-year-old on his first trip to Disneyland.
Dad decided that we should all eat at a little German restaurant so that we could watch the World Cup while eating. Secretly, I think he was hoping to turn Mum and me into football fans.
The match started a few minutes after we entered the restaurant. As I was eating my meal, a loud noise came from the television. Surprised, I looked up at the TV: “Why is that man jumping up and down?” Dad patiently explained: “That’s Papa Bouba Diop, my son. It’s normal for them to jump up and down after they’ve scored.”
Dad explained almost everything to me. His monosyllabic (單音節(jié)的) answers were a thing of the past. I loved the new Dad! I watched the rest of the match, becoming more and more interested. When I told my father that I planned to watch more matches with him, he smiled and gave me a wink (眨眼). At long last we had something in common.
Football has really helped Dad and me get closer and form a stronger relationship with each other. Who says football is only about 22 men running after a silly ball?
1.Which of the following words can best describe the author’s father?
A. A talkative football player. B. A parent busy at work.
C. An encouraging father. D. A man of few words.
2.What made the author curious about his father one morning?
A. His unusual excitement.
B. His unexpressed eagerness.
C. His great interest in the newspaper.
D. His high expectation of the winner.
3.The author’s growing interest in watching the match mainly came from________.
A. his and his father’s common love of German food
B. watching a top level performance of the players
C. his father’s love of football and his explanation
D. eating in a restaurant with the excited fans
4.What can we learn from the passage?
A. Sharing is the foundation of good relationship.
B. Family members should be fans together.
C. Interest is the mother of success.
D. Personality decides everything.
