eed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second. If FIFA, football’s international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.

Observers noted down the referees’ errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number. 3. If FIFA, football’s international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues. 答案部分 一、綜合題。 3. 研究者認為,如果國際足聯(lián) —— 足球的國際班底 —— 想要提高下屆世界杯的裁判水平 ,就應當鼓勵裁判員在一定距離之外觀察比賽,而不是急于跟著球運動。 1. Understanding the text Choose the best answer for each of the following questions according to the text Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals. They will soil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively, fight other dogs and even bite you. Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing. The key to preventing or treating behavior problems is learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting. One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is obedience training. Obedience training doesn’t solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem. Training pens up a line of munication between you and your dog. Effective munication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do. Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order. When your dog obeys a simple request of “e here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you. It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the pack(群) by using extreme measure. You can teach your dog its subordinate(從屬的) role by teaching it to show submission to you. Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge. Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog. It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable. A welltrained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal. ( 1) Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _________. A) be just part of their nature B) worsen in modern society C) occur when they go wild D) present a threat to the munity ( 2) The primary purpose of obedience training is to _________. A) teach the dog to perform clever tricks B) make the dog aware of its owner’s authority C) provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior D) enable the dog to regain its normal behavior ( 3) Effective munication between a dog and its owner is _________. A) essential to solving the dog’s behavior problems B) the foundation for dogs to perform tasks C) a good way to teach the dog new tricks D)an extreme measure in obedience training ( 4) Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?
