In 2012, he rewrote soccer history on multiple occasions, and his latest record came when he scored his 86th goal of the calendar year, breaking Gerd Mullers previous mark, before wrapping up the year with 91 goals. All statistics indicate that Messi is currently the best player in the world, and that he will go down in history as the top footballer of his generation. But when he is judged against all-time greats like Pele and Diego Maradona, he still has work to do. We dont know whether the Barcelona striker will have another year in which he records more than 90 goals, but he must still sustain(維持)a similar level of production for the next several seasons. Messi has already taken part in three of Barcelonas victorious Champions League(冠軍聯(lián)賽)campaigns, and he played an important role in two of them. In order to firmly establish himself as the greatest club football player in history, he must win the tournament a few more times. Most importantly, the Argentine(阿根廷人)needs to win on the international stage. Regardless of what Messi does for Barcelona, his legacy will be incomplete if he cannot win the World Cup with Argentina. Both Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers, and Messis performances for his country have been severely disappointing. While he was still a teenager in 2006-and his lackluster(平淡的)showing is excusable due to his youth-he cannot brush off the disappointment that characterized Argentinas performance in 2010. But the 4-0 loss to Germany in the 2010 World Cup Quarter Final seems to have sparked Messi. He scored 12 times for Argentina last year, and the next World Cup could finally be Messis breakout performance in blue and white stripes. Due to all of his accomplishments, it is easy to forget that the extraordinary footballer is just 25 years old. If he can avoid injury or lengthy slumps(低潮狀態(tài))until his speed and skills start to decline due to age, he may continue to break records and win trophies. 21. What will Messi have to do in order to be complete in his soccer career? A. He must win the World Cup with Argentina. B. He must win the tournament a few more times. C. He must defeat Pele and Maradona. D. He must avoid injury or lengthy slumps. 22. How was Messis performance in 2010 World Cup? A. Excellent. B. Inspiring. C. Disappointing. D. Normal. 23. What can we infer from the passage? A. Messi has firmly established himself as the greatest club soccer player in history. B. Messi will try his best to win the next World Cup with Argentina. C. Messi can avoid injury and lengthy slumps to break records and win trophies. D. Pele and Maradona led their countries to the top of international soccer during their careers. 24. What is the best title of the passage? A. Lionel Messi, the Best Soccer Player of All TimeB. Lionel Messi, the Greatest Soccer Player in HistoryC. Barcelona and Lionel MessiD. World Cup and Lionel MessiBPlanning a visit to the UK? Here we help with ways to cut your costs.AVOID BIG EVENTSBig sporting events, concerts and exhibitions can increase the cost of accommodation and make it harder to find a room. A standard double room at the Thistle Brighton on the final Friday of the Brighton Comedy Festival (19 Oct.) cost 169.15 at B. A week later, the same room cost 118.15.If you can be flexible and want to know dates to avoidor youre looking for a big event to pass your timecheck out sites such as W, which allow you to search for events in the UK by city, date and category.STAY AWAY FROM THE STATIONIf traveling to your destination by train, you may want to find a good base close to the station, but you could end up paying more for the sake of convenience at the start of your holiday.Dont be too choosy about the part of town you stay in. Booking two months in advance, the cheapest room at Travelodges Central Euston hotel in London for Saturday 22 September was 95.95. A room just a tube journey away at its Covent Garden hotel was 75.75. And at Farringdon, a double room cost just 62.95. LOOK AFTER YOURSELFReally central hotels in cities such as London, Edinburgh and Cardiff can cost a fortune, especially at weekends and during big events. As an alternative consider checking into a selfcatering flat with its own kitchen. Often these flats are hidden away on the top floors of city centre buildings. A great example is the historic ONeill Flat on Edinburghs Royal Mile, available for 420 for five days in late September, with room for four adults.GET ON A BIKELondons “Boris bikes” have attracted the most attention, but other cities also have similar programmes that let you rent a bicycle and explore at your own pace, saving you on public transport or car parking costs.Among the smaller cities with their own programmes are Newcastle (casual members pay around 1.50 for two hours) and Cardiff (free for up to 30 minutes, or 5 per day)25. The Brighton Comedy Festival is mentioned mainly to show big events may _A. help travelers pass time B. attract lots of travelers to the UKC. allow travelers to make flexible plans D. cause travelers to pay more for accommodation26“Farringdon” in Paragraph 5 is most probably _A. a hotel away from the train station B. the tube line to Covent GardenC. an ideal holiday destination D. the name of a travel agency27The passage shows that the ONeill Flat _A. lies on the ground floor B. is located in central LondonC. provides cooking facilities for tourists D. costs over 100 on average per day in late September28Cardiffs program allows a free bike for a maximum period of _A. half an hourB. one hour C. one hour and a halfD. two hours CWhile students in Yinchuan are quite used to clear skies, Beijing teenagers are not so lucky. As another warm winter approaches, the city can expect the normal clouds of smoke caused by air pollution. But things may start to improve soon. The government is co-operating with a US-based environmental protection agency to update existing buses and trucks with clean fuel technology. The new technology could reduce air pollutants in existing diesel engines(柴油機(jī))by 40 percent. The programme will begin by testing buses in Beijing to see if the technology can be applied to them. “We encourage the development of public transports. But at the same time we need to reduce pollution from them, ”said an official. Efforts are being made to improve the capitals environment with tighter controls on emissions(排放). Some heavily polluting factories and construction sites, such as those owned by the steel giant Shougang Group, have been asked to cut production in November and December or be closed. Beijing was the third polluted city in the world at the end of last century, according to the UN. But thanks to recent measures, the capital has made some progress. Last year 224 clear days were rated as having good air quality. In 1998 the air quality index(指數(shù))gave just 100 days as good. “I am glad to see an improvement, ”said a senior 1 boy living in the northwest of Beijing. “Compared to other places, the air quality of Beijing is still worrying though. I hate pollution. Once I was riding my bike in the morning when I almost had a traffic accident because I couldnt see a car only metres away from me in fog. ”In early October, the skies were covered by such a thick fog that a display show by the visiting French Air Force was called off. Rapid development, industry, traffic fumes and sandstorms from the desert all contribute to the citys bad air. 29. The passage is mainly about. A. a programme aiming at improving Beijings air qualityB. progress made in Beijings air qualityC. Beijings air pollutionD. the differences between Yinchuan and Beijing30. Which of the following is NOT the measure taken or to be taken to improve Beijings air quality? A. Clean fuel technology will be used in public transports. B. Some factories have been asked to cut production. C. Some construction sites have been told to be closed. D. A display show of airplanes has been called off. 31. We can infer from the passage that, with the aim of being an ecological city, . A. far more still needs to be doneB. nothing else needs to be doneC. all traffic has to be closedD. the development of the city has to be slowed down32. Which of the following is NOT correct according to the passage? A. Beijings air quality is getting worse and worse. B. Rapid development, industry, traffic fumes and sandstorms are all the causes of bad air quality. C. People see clouds of smoke in the sky in the winter of Beijing. D. The government is making efforts to stop air pollution.

Use the family dinner table as an opportunity to share whats going on in each others lives.Go on individual dates with your children. 38 Older teens might enjoy going out for a hamburger or a coffee at their favorite coffee place.
