Question

The small Middle Eastern nation of Qatar (卡塔爾) has a football team,but it has never played in football s greatest tournament,the World Cup. However₉ something amazing will happen in 2022 and at that time Qatar will become the first nation in the Middle East to host the men’s Football World Cup games.

Some fans were confused about this choice. Where will the athletes compete? Qatar doesn’t have any stadiums (體育場(chǎng)) built yet. Also,the weather in Qatar gets extremely hot in summer. However,Qatar has plans to fix those problems. The country has announced plans to build enough stadiums for the tournament. To keep everyone cool,each stadium will have solarpowered (太陽(yáng)會(huì)巨) airconditioning. Qatar is also building a new airport and train system. Because the stadiums will be so close together and connected by train,fans will be able to watch two games in one day.

Qatar has big plans for its new stadiums. Game officials say that after the World Cup,they will take the stadiums down. The stadiums will be taken apart and sent to countries that don't have enough money to build stadiums.

Qatar is very happy to be the first Middle Eastern nation to host the tournament. The country’s Emir (對(duì)穆斯林統(tǒng)治者的尊稱) said to the World Cup organization ,“Thank you for believing in change... Thank you for giving Qatar a chance."
