Others say that the opposite is true: international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred. There is probably some truth in both arguments, but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood. Not only was there the incident of tragedy involving murders of athletes, but the Games were also ruined by lesser incidents caused principally by minor national contests.One country received its second-place medals with visible anger after the hockey final. There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match, as the losers disagreed with the final decisions. They believed that one of their goals should have been allowed and that their opponents victory was unfair. Their manager was in great anger when he said: “This isnt hockey. Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished.” The president of the Federation said later that such behavior could result in the suspension(停赛) of the team for at least three years.The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia, after a disputable(有争议的) end to their contest. The game had ended in disorder. It was thought at first that the United States had won by a single point, but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play. A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other, and another player popped it into the basket. It was the first time the US had ever lost an Olympic basketball match. An appeal jury (评审委员会) debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing that the result would stand. The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game. The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals or in non-national teams, might be too much to hope for. But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism (爱国主义).（1）According to the author, recent Olympic Games have _.A . created goodwill between the nationsB . hardly showed any international friendshipC . caused only false national prideD . led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred（2）What did the manager mean by saying, “.Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished”?A . There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation.B . His team would no longer take part in international games.C . Hockey and the Federation are ruined by the unfair decisions.D . The Federation should be ended.（3）The basketball example implied that（ ）.A . too much patriotism was displayed in the incidentB . the announcement to make the match last longer was wrongC . the appeal jury was too hesitant in making the decisionD . The American team was right in receiving the silver medals（4）Which statement best summarizes this passage?A . The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.B . Different teams often have disputes when fighting for the first place.C . Any team that has disrespectful behavior should be suspended.D . Athletes should compete as individuals.5. （8分） When I was a kid, my dad worked in a shop in the center of our town.
