B READING COMPREHENSION

I Read the text and do the task that follows

THE SPORTING SPIRIT

I am always amazed when I hear people saying that sport creates good will between nations, and that if only the common peoples of the world could meet one another at football or cricket, they would have no inclination to meet on the battlefield Even if one didn't know from concrete examples (the 1936 Olympic Games, for instance) that international sporting contests lead to orgies of hatred, one could deduce it from general principles

Nearly all the sports practiced nowadays are competitive You play to win and the game has little meaning unless you do your most to win On the village green, where you pick up sides and no feeling and local patriotism

is involved, it is possible to play simply for the fun and exercise; but as soon as the question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel that you and some larger unit will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage combative instincts are aroused

At the international level, sport is frankly mimic warfare But the significant thing is not the behavior of the players but the attitude of the spectators; and, behind the spectators, of the nations who work themselves into furies over these absurd contests, and seriously believe - at any rate for short periods - that running, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of national virtue

Even a leisurely game like cricket, demanding grace rather than strength, can cause much ill will Football,

a game in which everyone gets hurt, is far worse Worst of all is boxing

A Sports create international solidarity

2 What is the author's opinion about sports?

A He does not like playing sports

B He thinks sports are too violent

C He does not agree that sports can create good will between nations

D He thinks sports have little meaning

3 In which of the following cases are the combative instincts most likely to rise?

A When we win a game

B When we play football

C When we lose a game on a village green

D When we feel disgraced if we lose

3

4 What can be inferred from paragraph 3 about sports at the international level?

A Sports are believed to represent a nation's virtue

B Sports are tests of patriotism

C The players are not as important as the spectators

D Sport competitions are held for fairly short periods of time

5 Cricket, according to the author,

A demands more strength than boxing
