閱讀下列短文，從文中所給的四個選項(A，B，C和D)中，選出最佳選項。
Fans burst into cheers as China's 44 - year effort to reach the World Cup finals was finally fulfilled in Shenyang on October 7,2001 with a 1 - 0 win over Oman in the Asian qualifier (合格者).
Happy fans throughout the world's most populous country rushed into the night to celebrate the historic victory for which they have waited for decades. Expectations of a Chinese victory against the Oman team were so high that celebrations had been prepared beforehand and started at the stadium immediately following the match. “Today is the most important day in my life,” said Zhang Jingquan, a 23 - year - old man who has recently graduated from a university in Beijing.
The response contrasted to May 19, 1985, when after hearing that China had failed to get into the World Cup finals, fans went on a rampage (到處進行暴力) and started burning cars and causing fires on the streets of Beijing. While in European countries people have always been aware of football's power to make supporters react in such a strong and passionate way, this was the first time for the Chinese public to see such a response. The May 19 incident had the effect of drawing more fans to the games rather than turning them away.
In recent years more and more people have been drawn to football. Football fan clubs and associations have been set up across the country. In fact, football is becoming such a focus of interest that even football fans are becoming famous. Luo Xi, known as “China's No. 1 football fan,” is one of the more prominent (突出的) examples of this trend. for him, football has filled his mind so continually that he has managed to lose his job and his wife after deciding to give his undivided attention to watching football.
The reason that football has become so popular is that anyone can he a supporter. You do not have to take exams to be supporter, you even don't have to be able to play football!
The competitive nature of the game gives fans a sense that they are part of a special social group. With its fierce competition and mass participation, football is unique (獨特的). It is the world's number one sport. The huge size of the field also gives a chance for the players to be creative and for the spectators (觀眾) to look on fearfully. People can experss themselves through football. It's quite easy to learn and play the sport: you need only a ball.

People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. They mean that the home is very important and personal to him. Most people in Britain live in houses rather than flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual; they can paint them, and change them in any way they like. Most houses have a garden, even if it is a very small one, and the garden is usually loved. The house and the garden are the private space of the individual.
People usually like to mark their space. Are you sitting now in your home or on a train? Have you marked the space around yourself as yours ? If you are on the train you may put your coat or small bag on the seat beside you. If you share a flat you may have one corner or chair which is your own.
Once I was traveling on a train to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us .The man on the space on my side of the table at all. I was angry. Maybe he thought that he owned the whole table .I had read a book about non-verbal communication, so I took various papers out of my bag and put them on his briefcase! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had invaded his space! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He immediately moved his case to his side of the table. Of course, it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me!
If you are visiting another country you may feel that you don’t have any private space. Hotel rooms look much the same in every country in the world. All day long ,you share public spaces with other people. You see the local people in their private spaces and you feel lonely and “outside”. Local people can create their private spaces by talking about things you don’t know about .And you even feel that they like you to be outside them so that they will enjoy being inside even more! This is one of the difficulties of being a traveler !But if you understand it then it helps you .Haven’t you enjoyed being part of a group and “owning” a bit of space?

Rock music in one form or another is the most popular type of music all over the world. But where did it
come from?
Rock began in the USA in the early 1950s. At that time, rhythm and blue music was very popular with
black Americans. "R&B" was a mixture of black religious (宗教) music and jazz. It had strong rhythms (節(jié)奏)
that you could dance to and simple, fast words.
Noticing the success of R&B music, white musicians started to copy the same style. By the mid 1950s, this
new white R&B music, called rock 'n' roll, had become very popular. Singers like Elvis Presley and Bill Haley
attracted millions of teenage fans (愛好者). Their music was fast and loud. Many older people thought that
rock ' n' roll was very dangerous.
By the early 1960s, even rock ' n' roll had become old fashioned. Many of the songs had begun to sound
the same. It was at that time that a new group from England became popular-The Beatles.
The Beatles first started by singing American style songs, but they soon developed their own style, with
more complicated (復雜的 ) tunes (曲調 ). They also introduced different instruments. Groups like The
Beatles had a very important influence on the style of popular music.
By the early 1970s,rock ' n' roll had developed into a new form of music. Electronics (電子) had replaced
the amplified (增大的) guitars and drums of rock 'n' roll."Rock" had arrived.
Rock music has continued to change and develop. It has combined with music from different parts of the
world. Today, there are hundreds of different types of rock music, and almost every country has its own form
of rock.

The bedroom door opened and a light went on, signaling an end to nap time．The toddle（初學走路的嬰兒）, sleepy-eyed, clambered to a swinging stand in his crib．He smiled, reached out to his father, and uttered what is fast becoming the cry of his generation: "iPhone!"
Just as adults have a hard time putting down their iPhones, so the device is now the Toy of Choice for many 1-, 2- and 3-year-olds．The phenomenon is attracting the attention and concern of some childhood development specialists．
Natasha Sykes, a mother of two in Atlanta, remembers the first time her daughter, Kelsey, now 3 but then barely 2 years old, held her husband's iPhone．"She pressed the button and it lit up．I just remember her eyes．It was like 'Whoa!' "The parents were charmed by their daughter's fascination．But then, said Ms．Sykes （herself a Black Berry user）, "She got serious about the phone．" Kelsey would ask for it．Then she'd cry for it．"It was like she'd always want the phone," Ms．Sykes said．
Apple, the iPhone's designer and manufacturer, has built its success on machines so user-friendly that even technologically blinded adults can figure out how to work them, so it makes sense that sophisticated children would follow．Tap a picture on the screen and something happens．What could be more fun?
The sleepy-eyed toddler who called for the iPhone is one of hundreds of iPhone-loving toddlers whose parents are often proud of their offspring's ability to slide fat fingers across the gadget's screen and pull up photographs of their choice．
Many iPhone apps on the market are aimed directly at preschoolers, many of them labeled "educational," such as Toddler Teasers: Shapes, which asks the child to tap a circle or square or triangle; and Pocket Zoo, which streams live video of animals at zoos around the world．
Along with fears about dropping and damage, however, many parents sharing iPhones with their young ones feel guilty．They wonder whether it is indeed an educational tool, or a passive amusement like television．The American Academy of Pediatrics is continually reassessing its guidelines to address new forms of "screen time．" Dr．Gwenn Schurgin O'Keeffe, a member of the academy's council, said, "We always try to throw in the latest technology, but the cellphone industry is becoming so complex that we always come back to the table and wonder- Should we have a specific guideline for them?"
Tovah P. Klein, the director of a research center for Toddler Development worries that fixation on the iPhone screen every time a child is out with parents will limit the child's ability to experience the wider world.
As with TV in earlier generations, the world is increasingly divided into those parents who do allow iPhone use and those who don't. A recent post on UrbanBaby.com, asked if anyone had found that their child was more interested in playing with their iPhone than with real toys. The Don't mothers said on the Website: "We don't let our toddler touch our iPhones ... it takes away from creative play." "Please ... just say no. It is not too hard to distract a toddler with, say ... a book."
Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, a psychology professor who specializes in early language development, sides with the Don'ts. Research shows that children learn best through activities that help them adapt to the particular situation at hand and interacting with a screen doesn't qualify, she said.
Still, Dr. Hirsh-Pasek, struck on a recent visit to New York City by how many parents were handing over their iPhones to their little children in tha subway, said she understands the impulse (沖動). "This is a magical phone," she said. "I must admit I'm addicted to this phone."
76．The first paragraph in the passage intends to ______.
A．get us to know a cute sleepy-eyed child in a family
B．show us how harmful the iPhone is
C．lead us to the topic of the toddlers' iPhone-addict
D．explain how iPhone appeals to toddlers
77．According to the author, iPhones are popular with both adults and young kids because they are______.
A．easy to use B．beautiful in appearance
C．cheap in price D． powerful in battery volume
78．The underlined word "them" in the seventh paragraph refers to ______.
A．televisions B．cellphones C．iPhones D．screens
79．The tone of the author towards parents sharing iPhones with their children is ______.
A．negative B．subjective C．objective D．supportive
80．The passage mainly tells us ______.
A．children's iPhone addict is becoming a concern
B．iPhone is winning the hearts of the toddlers
C．Apple is developing more user-friendly products
D．ways to avoid children's being addicted to iPhone games
