On the football field, the strikers who make the goals win the loudest applause (掌声).

Some think they are the only heroes that can get the top awards.

The Italian footballer Fabio Cannavaro has proved this view wrong. He shows that every player in a match counts. He did this by winning the FIFA Player of the Year award on December 18.

The 33-year-old Cannavaro once helped Italy to get its fourth World Cup title. This time, he competed with two strikers Zine Zidane and Rinaldinho. He finally beat them. A lot of people said this award should have gone to a striker. But Cannavaro has again beaten this view.

Cannavaro learned to play football in a town of Naples, Italy. Later, he became a ball boy at the city’s stadium. That was before he entered the Series A game in his country.

While the Italian football clubs were criticized (批评) because of scandals (流言), he set a role model by trying his best to do well in every match. It has encouraged other players and given hope to the country’s football spirit.

Cannavaro stands out most for his leadership. As captain of Italy at the World Cup, he knew how to bring out the country’s defensive tradition. A lot of top defenders were born in Italy.

When most people think of the Olympics, they don’t think of science. But in the USA, each year, students take part in a kind of competition called the Science Olympiad.

It has a lot of different events. Students go there to show how much they know about the science of music, biology, chemistry and others. My best event is forestry (森林学). This time, I went to the Olympiad with my school’s team. We had worked hard, but this was the state competition. It would be hard to win.

The Olympiad was out of town, so we got to ride on a bus and stay in a hotel for a night. The Olympiad was in three big rooms. When we got there, we set up our team’s “camp” off to one side. The big day had come at last! First, I went to watch the tower building competition. That’s when students build small towers and put heavy things on top of it. They hope they can hold them up. One of my schoolmates was putting things on her tower. She was nervous, and in the end it was too heavy for her tower to hold it—it broke! I felt bad for her. After lunch, I helped some teammates with their events. One was geography, and the other was history. I don’t know much about those things, so I just watched my teammates do most of the work. At last, it was time for my favorite event—forestry. Another student was also in the forestry event. The rules were easy. We had to look at more than 40 different kinds of leaves and find out which plants they were from. We also had to answer some questions about the uses of each leaf. I knew almost all of the leaves and could answer most of the questions. I had spent more than a month studying on the Internet to get ready. At the end, it was time for the awards (颁奖), I was nervous, because the forestry awards were last. We won second place in the whole state! A nice man gave me a medal and smiled at me.

I had a great time at the Science Olympiad. I can’t wait for next year!

(B) Answer the question according to the following passage.

In a classroom in any countries, the teacher teaches more than art or history or language. He or she teaches something behind--- the culture of the country.

In a country such as the United States, people with different history, culture and language join together and they pay much attention to person ideas. Teachers try to make each student special. Students do not have to remember a lot of information, instead, they work and find answers by themselves. There is often discussion in the classroom. At an early age students learn to have their own ideas. Their education encourages personal thought . The importance is placed on how to arrive at an answer and not only to get the correct answer.

In most Asian countries, people have the same language, history and culture.  Perhaps for this reason, the education there pays more attention to group goals than personal ideas. Children in China and Japan often work together and help each other on homework. In the classroom, the ways of teaching are often very traditional. The teacher says, and the students listen. There is not much discussion. Instead, the students repeat  rules or information that they have been taught in order to keep them in mind.

In many ways these differences come from different educational ideas. In Western countries teachers are taught to help students to learn. They make it easier for the students to learn by themselves. In some Asian countries, however, teachers often feel that their job is to pass knowledge to students.

91. Do students in the United States have to remember a lot of information?

__________________________________________________________

92. There is often discussion in the classroom in America, isn’t there?
