The Most Dramatic Cup Final Wembley

The Cup Final is still the only football match guaranteed to attract 100 000 spectators to Wembley Stadium every year, even though it is also shown on television. It is a great public event, as much as a game of football. I was very excited when my father managed to get two tickets for the Final a few years ago, though I did not realise then that it could be the most memorable ever played.

The teams, Blackpool and Bolton Wanderers, both came from the north, but almost everyone in England wanted Blackpool to win because the greatest player of his generation, Stanley Matthews, then 40 years old, was playing for them in what would surely be his last Cup Final. He had twice reached the Final before, but each time a cup winner’s medal had eluded him.

The atmosphere before the match was traditional, but electric. The crowded sang songs for an hour, led by a conductor in the middle of the pitch. At one end there was a sea of orange, with Blackpool supporters roaring for their team; at the other, there were black and white scarves, hats and banners waving in the air for Bolton.

The game began on a false note for Blackpool. Farm, their goalkeeper, had an attack of nerves, and let a simple shot bounce over his outstretched arm in the first minute. Twenty minutes later, he made another terrible mistake to give Bolton their second goal. It looked as if Matthews would be disappointed once again. But then one of the Bolton half-backs. Bell, was injured and in those days no substitutes were allowed. He limped along the wing on one leg, and Blackpool, inspired by Matthews

and the tireless Mortensen at center forward, began to recover, and Mortensen scored. Early in the second half, however, disaster struck again. The injured Bell bravely headed a goal for Bolton, and though Mortensen again reduced the arrears, Bolton were still holding onto their 3-2 lead with four minutes to go.

I can still remember Mortensen placing the ball for a free kick over 30 meters from the Bolton goal, just in front of where I was sitting, as if it were yesterday. He swung his boot. No one moved, not even Hanson in the Bolton goal. Then the whole terrace in orange colours to my left went mad with joy. The ball had travelled so fast that we could hardly believe it had hit the back of the net. Two minutes later, the old master, Matthews, made one of his inimitable runs down the right wing, and centred for Perry to score the winning goal. 1.The Cup Final ____________.

A. has long been considered a national show B. used to be an important event

C. was expected to be the greatest played

2.Stanley Matthews’ team had ______ won the Cup Final. A. never B. once C. twice 3Before the match, ______ .

A. most people thought Blackpool was the better team B. people favored Blackpool for sentimental reasons C. support for the two teams was evenly divided 4.In the first half, Bolton _______ . A. had all the luck

B. played much better than Blackpool C. took advantage of Blackpool’s errors

5.When Mortensen scored the third goal， ______ . A. it seemed inevitable

B. Blackpool were ahead at last

C. the spectators in orange colors went mad with joy

Why do Westerners love their pets so much, almost as if they were their children? I suppose one reason is that for more than one hundred years many children’s books in England and in America were animal stories. By this we mean stories that gave the animals human names, human voices, human emotions, and even faces that look almost human. Many of these stories taught a moral lesson, like honesty or kindness or hard work. My mother read animal stories to me as a child, and my wife and I read some of the same animal stories to my boys when they were small, and now they read animal stories to their children. Some are the same stories about dogs and cats and rabbits and horses. So children in America grow up with good feelings towards

animals.

Many families would like to have a purebred dog or cat, that is an animal whose parents come from a single kind of animal. But purebred animals are expensive. And those that are registered with a special dog or cat club are even more expensive since there is a written record of their ancestors for many generations. What often happens is that a family’s first pet will come from some friend whose pet has had babies. Or they may get a pet from an animal shelter. Every city and many smaller towns have a human society which cares for animals that are found and for animals which people no longer want. They try to find the owner of lost pets and to find homes for the others. Over the years my wife and I and our children have gotten some very nice dogs for our family from animal shelters, usually at no cost.

But some families do not want house dog or a house cat. They want an outside dog or cat. So the animal stays outside the house most of the time. Special dog houses are made for such dogs to use, especially at night in the colder part of North America. 6.Why do Western people love their pets so much? A. Because their children don’t have many friends.

B. Because they are very much influenced by animal stories. C. Because they have leisure time and enough extra money. D. Because they regard pets as their children.

7.Since they have heard a lot of animal stories, American children tend are brought up to ______ .

A. love animals when they grow up B. treat animals rudely C. live play with animals D. dislike animals

8.A purebred dog refers to a dog _______ . A. which is brought up by one family

B. whose parents come from the same place

C. whose parents belong to the single kind of dog D. which is bred in a pure housedog club

9. How do most American families often get their first pet? A. They buy it from a pet shop.

B. They pick up one from the streets.

C. They always get one from the animal shelter. D. They get it from their friends.

10.Not all pets stay with their masters in the house all the time for ______ . A. It’s good for them so stay outside B. People think the dogs are dirty

C. Some people don’t want to keep a house dog or a house cat
