FC Barcelona's football academy (专门学校), La Masia, has trained some of the best footballers in Europe, such as Pep Guardiola, Lionel Messi and Gerard Pique. Many people believe that Barcelona is the best football team in Europe because of the training programme at the school. Now, FC Barcelona has opened similar academies all around the world, including in Egypt, Japan, America and Dubai.

It is difficult to join the Barcelona academy. Every year, over 1,000 students apply , but only 70 students can live and study at the school. They are aged between 11 and 18. Seventy coaches, teachers, doctors and cooks look after the students. The academy costs about ￡5 million a year to run. But the students all have scholarships , so they don't pay any money. FC Barcelona pays for everything: the students' rooms, teachers, books and food.

However, the students don't only learn football. FC Barcelona also wants to give their students a good academic education. It is important to the club that their students can still get good jobs if they don't become professional footballers. Students

travel by bus to local schools each morning for four hours of study. The footballers return to La Masia after lunch and do football training in the afternoons.

But is the students' academic education good enough? All the football training must make the students very tired and they spend less time at school than other children. That doesn't matter if you are one of the students who are good enough to become a professional footballer. But what happens to all the children who don't make it onto the team? La Masia produces excellent football players, but it is important to ask what happens to all the other children who train there. 14. As a training academy, La Masia _____.

A. is considered as the best in Europe B. receives nationwide professional footballers

C. has produced some top-class players D. has borrowed ideas from similar academies 15. What do we know about La Masia?

A. It is well supplied. B. It is short of teachers. C. It is operated with difficulty. D. It offers scholarships to excellent students.

16. The students of La Masia _____.

A. play football in the morning B. fall behind other local students C. get football training after school D. have academic education at La Masia 17. The author seems to _____.

A. worry about some children's future B. think badly of professional footballers C. care too much about students' feelings D. doubt the football training of La Masia
