Australia is sometimes called “the lucky country”. One reason is the wonderful riches under the earth: gold, silver, iron, coal and many other precious metals. Oil and natural gas have helped to build big industries. Victoria, the southeastern state, has a large number of industries. Oil is no problem for them. The Bass Strait, off the coast of Victoria, has been one of the country"s biggest oil fields for many years.
South Australia is the driest of all the states, but it does have the Murray River. The river brings greenness and life to the state"s southeast corner. In the early days of Australian history, the Murray River was South Australia"s main road. Before real roads and railways came, the river carried people and goods from the coast up into the country. Some towns on the Murray still keep the old riverboats, and visitors can ride on them.

Some people believe that international sport creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together. Others say that the opposite is true: international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the incident of tragedy involving murders of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.
One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, as the losers disagreed with the final decisions. They believed that one of their goals should have been allowed and that their opponents’ victory was unfair. Their manager was in great anger when he said: “This isn’t hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension(停赛) of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable(有争议的) end to their contest. The game had ended in disorder. It was thought at first that the United States had won by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the US had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury (评审委员会) debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism (爱国主义).
小题1:According to the author, recent Olympic Games have ____.
A.created goodwill between the nations
B.hardly showed any international friendship
C.caused only false national pride
D.led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred
小题2:What did the manager mean by saying, “...Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”?
A.There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.
B.His team would no longer take part in international games.
C.Hockey and the Federation are ruined by the unfair decisions.
D.The Federation should be ended.
小题3: The basketball example implied that        .
A.too much patriotism was displayed in the incident
B.the announcement to make the match last longer was wrong
C.the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decision
D.The American team was right in receiving the silver medals
小题4:Which statement best summarizes this passage?
A.The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.
B.Different teams often have disputes when fighting for the first place.
C.Any team that has disrespectful behavior should be suspended.
D.Athletes should compete as individuals.

For centuries, the body"s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, are said to be cold-blooded. For example, the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. He seems to kill for no reason, and no emotion, as if taking someone"s life as nothing.
Cold can affect other parts of the body. The expression “get cold feet” has nothing to do with cold or your feet.The expression means being afraid to do something you have decided to do.For example, you agree to be president of an organization.But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned(辞职), and all the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.
The expression “give someone the cold shoulder” probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face to face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.
A cold fish is not a fish.It is a person.But it is a person who is unfriendly, and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone. Someone who is a cold fish could be cold-hearted. Now a cold-hearted person is someone who has no sympathy. Several popular songs in recent years were about cold-hearted men or cold-hearted women who, without feelings, broke the hearts of their lovers.
“Out in the cold” means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise. He was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.
小题1:When you refuse to speak to a man and treat him in a distant way, you may express by “_____”.
A.I give him the cold shoulder
B.I think he is a cold-blooded man
C.I think he is a cold fish
D.I"m likely to get cold feet
小题2:If Sue shows absolutely no reaction to those awful pictures of starving children in Africa, you will say ______.
A.she is a cold-blooded killerB.she gets cold feet
C.she is a cold fishD.she is out in the cold
小题3:We can use the expression “_____" to describe a man who hurts his lover without mercy.
A.cold-bloodedB.cold-hearted C.cold feetD.cold shoulder
小题4:The topic of this passage is about _____.
A.the relationship between cold and our body
B.some expressions about friendship
C.some expressions connected with cold
D.how cold weather comes into being
