Football（C级 ）来源：http://Hxen.com

　　Football is, I suppose, the most popular game in England: one has only to go to one of the important matches to see this. Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting and cheering for one side or the other. 
　　One of the most surprising things about football in England to a stranger is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most if the important teams. He has photographs of them and knows the results of a large number off matches. He will tell you, with a great air of authority, who he expects will win such and such a match, and his opinion is usually as valuable as that of men three or four times his age.
　　Most schools in England take football seriously --much more seriously than nearly all-European schools, where lessons are all-important, and games are left for private arrangements. In England, it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy's mind with facts in a classroom; education also means character training. One of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team games, where the boy has to learn to work with others for his team, instead of working selfishly for himself alone. The school therefore arranges games and matches for its pupils.  Football is a good team game, it is good exercise for the body, it needs skill and a quick brain, it is popular and it is cheap. As a result, it is the school's favorite game in the winter.

Storms Sink Ships（C级）来源：http://Hxen.com

　　Rescuers have found the bodies of over 130 people killed in two ferry disasters in
Bangladesh．The accidents happened during a storm that hit the country on April 21．Hundreds more are missing or feared dead．
　　The two ferries sank in different rivers near the capital city of Dhakfi as strong winds and rain hit the South Asian country．
　　The government has since banned a11 ferries and other boats from traveling at night during the April-May stormy season．    ．
　　One of the ferries，MV Mitali，was carrying far more people than it was supposed to．About 400 passengers fitted into a space made for just 300，police said．The second ferry carried about 1 00 passengers．
　　“The number of deaths is certain to rise．”said an official in charge of the rescue work．“No one really knows how many people were on board‘the ferry or how many of them survived．’’
　　Ferries in Bangladesh don’t always keep passenger lists，making it difficult to determine the exact number of people on board．
　　Besides the ferry accidents，at least 40 people were killed and 400 injured by lightning strikes．falling houses and trees and the sinking of small boats．
　　Storms are common this time of year in Bangladesh，as are boating accidents．Ferry
disasters take away hundreds of lives every year in a nation of 130 million people．
　　Officials blame these river accidents on a lack of safety measures．too many passengers in boats and not enough checks on weather conditions．
　　Ferries are a common means of transport in Bangladesh．It is a country covered by about 230 rivers．Some 20，000 ferries use the nation’s  Waterways every year．And many of them are dangerously overcrowded．
　　Since 1977, more than 3．000 people have died in some 260 boating accidents．

Bedwetting （尿床）（难度C级）来源：http://Hxen.com

　　Millions of kids and teenagers from every part of the world wet the bed every single night. It’s so common that there are probably other kids in your class who do it. Most kids don’t tell their friends, so it’s easy to feel kind of alone, like you might be the only one on the whole planet who wets the bed. ___1___.
　　The fancy name for bedwetting is nocturnal enuresis. Enuresis runs in families. This means that if you urinate, or pee, while you are asleep, there’s a good chance that a close relative also did it when he or she was a kid. __2__.
　　The most important thing to remember is that no one wets the bed on purpose. It doesn’t mean that you’re lazy or a slob. __3__. For some reason, kids who wet the bed are not able to feel that their bladders is full and don’t wake up to pee in the toilet. Sometimes a kid who wets the bed will have a realistic dream that he’s in the bathroom peeing – only to wake up later and discover he’s all wet. May kids who wet the bed are very deep sleepers. ___4___.
　　Some kids who wet the bed do it every single night. Others wet some nights and are dry on others. A lot of kids say that they seem to be drier when they sleep at a friend’s or a relative’s house. __5__. So the brain may be thinking, “Hey, Don’t wet someone else’s bed! ” This can help you stay dry if you’re not aware of it.
 
A. The good news is that almost all kids who wet the bed eventually stop.
B. Trying to wake up someone who wets the bed is often like trying to wake a log—they just stay asleep.
C. It’s something you can’t help doing.
D. just like you may have inherited your mom’s blue eyes or your uncles’ long legs, you probably inherited bedwetting, too.
