Massive changes in all of the world's deeply cherished sporting habits are underway. Wheth

er it's one of London's parks full of people playing softball,and Russians taking up rugby(橄榄球), or the Superbowl rivaling the British Football Cup Final as a televised spectator event in Britain, the patterns of players and spectators are changing beyond recognition. We are witnessing a globalization of our sporting culture.

That annual bicycle race, the Tour de France, much loved by the French is a good case in point. Just a few years back it was a strictly continental affair with France, Belgium and Holland, Spain and Italy taking part. But in recent years it has been dominated by Colombian mountain climbers, and American and Irish riders.

The people who really matter welcome the shift toward globalization. Peugeot, Michelin and Panasonic are multi-national corporations that want worldwide returns for the millions they invest in teams.' So it does them literally a world of good to see this unofficial world championship become just that.

This is undoubtedly an economic-based revolution we are witnessing here, one made possible by communications technology, but made to happen because of marketing considerations.

The skilfut way in which American football has been sold to Europe is a good example of how all sports will develop. The aim of course is not really to spread the sport for its own sake, but to increase the number of people interested in the major money-making events. The economics of the Superbowl are already astronomical. With seats at US $125, gate receipts alone were a staggering $10,000,000.

So it came as a terrible shock, but not really as a surprise, to learn that some people are now suggesting that soccer change from being a game of two 45-minute halves, to one of four 25-minute quarters. The idea is unashamedly to capture more advertising revenue, without giving any thought for the integrity of a sport which relies for its essence on the flowing nature of the action. Moreover, as sports expand into world markets, and as our choice of sports as consumers also grows, so we will demand to see them played at a higher and higher level.

Globalization of sporting culture means that ______.

A．more people are taking up sports

B．traditional sports are getting popular

C．many local sports are becoming international

D．foreigners are more interested in local sports

A massive pool of warm ocean water is causing changes in the atmosphere that could produce
unusual weather around ihc world in the next few months. the US National Weather Service reported on Monday.

As a result of this phenomenon. known as El Nino, more rainfall than normal is likely this winter across some areas of the United States, with unusually warm or cold weather in other parts of the country.

Currently the phenomenon is marked by a warm pool of water along the equator extending from the International Date Line nearly to the coast of South America. That water is nearly 4. degrees Fahrenheit above normal. explained Vernon Kousky of the climate center.

This warm water "spreads almost a quarter of the way around the globe. So it&39;s massive and it has an impact on our weather. It has a global influence... because it disturbs the atmosphere", said Dave Rodenhuis. director of the climate center.

"E1 Nino is probably the most important climate event beyond the annual cycle of seasons", he added.

Because the changes tended to be first noticed around Christmas, the phenomenon was given che name El Nino, which is Spanish for child, a term often used to refer to the baby Jesus.

The phenomenon occurs every three to five years, sometimes in a mild form. and sometimes strongly affecting weather patterns worldwide. Details of its cause are not fully understood, but when it occurs. unusually warm air can be pumped into Canada. Alaska and the northern United States. At the same time, conditions tend to be wetter than normal along the US Southeast Coast and the Gulf of Mexico. And the Atlantic and Caribbean hurricane season tends to be milder than usual.

The strong El Nino of 1982-1983 was blamed for worsening the devastating drought in Africa, causing a series or severe winter storms to come ashore in California, spawning the first typhoon to strike French Polynesia m 75 years-followed by five more in Five months-deluging Peru and Ecuador with torrential rains and promoting the worst drought in two centuries in Australia.

Overall damage was estimated at between $2 billion and $8 billion by a United Nations analysis and the death toll topped l,500 worldwide.

测试题

The most interesting architectural phenomenon of the 1970's was the enthusiasm for refurbi
shing old buildings. Obviously, this was not an entirely new phenomenon. What is new is the wholesale interest in reusing the past, in recycling, in adaptive rehabilitation. A few trial efforts, such as Ghirardelli Square in San Francisco, proved their financial viability in 1960s, but it was in the 1970's, with strong government support through tax incentives and rapid depreciation. As well as growing interest in ecology issues, that recycling became a major factor on the urban scene.

One of the most comprehensive ventures was the restoration and transformation of Boston's eighteenth century Faneuil Hall and the Quincy Market, designed in 1824. This section had fallen on hard times, but beginning with the construction of a new city hall immediately adjacent, it has returned to life with the intelligent reuse of these fine old buildings under the design leadership of Benjamin Thomson. He has provided a marvelous setting for dining, shopping, professional offices, and simply walking. Butler Square, in Minneapois, exemplifies major changes in its complex of offices, commercial space, and public amenities carved out of a massive pile designed in 1906 as a hardware warehouse. The exciting interior timber structure of the building was highlighted by cutting light courts through the interior and adding large skylights.

San Antonio, Texas, offers an object lesson for numerous other cities combating urban decay. Rather than bringing in the bulldozers, San Antonio's leaders rehabilitated existing structures, while simultaneously cleaning up the San Antonio River, which menders through the business district.

What is the main idea of the passage？

A．During the 1970's, old buildings in many cities were recycled for modern use.

B．Recent interest in ecology issues has led to the cleaning up of many rivers.

C．The San Antonio example shows that bulldozers are not the way to fight urban decay:

D．Strong government support has made adaptive rehabilitation a reality in Boston.
