Passage¹ 2
Football is, I believe³, the most popular⁴ game in England: one has only to go to one of the important⁵ matches to see this. Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting for one side⁶ or the other.
To a stranger⁷ one of the most surprising⁸ things about football in England is the great knowledge⁹ of the game which even¹⁰ the smallest boy seems¹² to have. He can tell you the names of the players¹³ in most of the important teams, he has pictures of them and knows the results¹⁴ of large number of matches. He will tell you who he expects¹⁵ will win such¹⁶ and such a match, and his opinion¹⁷ is usually as² good as that of men three of four times his age.
Most schools in England take football seriously - much more seriously than nearly¹⁸ all European¹⁹ schools, where lessons are all that are important, and games are left for the children themselves²⁰. In England it is believed²¹ that education²² is not only a matter of filling²³ a boy's mind²⁴ with facts²⁵ in the classroom, education also means²⁶ the training²⁷ of character²⁸; and one of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially²⁹ team games, instead³⁰ of working for himself³¹ alone³². The school therefore³³ plans³⁴ games and matches for its pupils. Football is a good team game, it is good both for the body and the mind. That is why it is every school's game in England.

A. watch
B. win over
C. laugh at
D. support

7. In England school boys seem¹¹ _________ football games.
A. to know a great deal³⁵ about
B. not to know much about
C. to know a little about
D. to know nothing about

8. In the sentence³⁶ "Hs is as good as that of men three of times his age", "that" means __________.
A. the match
B. the opinion
C. the age
D. the team

9. In England, education means __________.
A. filling a boy's mind with stories
B. more than teaching³⁷ of knowledge
C. the teaching of knowledge only
D. training character by means of football game
