Matches made over the Internet often do not last long because people end up choosing unsuitable

partners and forming emotional bonds before meeting face-to-face, an Australian university researcher

has found.

  Women may especially find Mr. Wrong, as they tend to be attracted by fine comments or clever

emails, said psychologist Matthew Bambling from the Queensland University of Technology.

  “You can never assume things are the way they seem online,” Bambling said. “The fact that they

can write a clever comment or a witty email doesn’t mean they will be Mr. Right, that’s for sure,” he

said, adding some men use the concept of “netting”, sending emails to dozens of women and hoping

one might respond. Bambling said you can find a partner online, but warned those using the Web to

find love to be aware of the traps. “There’s definitely an uncontrolled effect online,” he said, with

people more likely to exaggerate their good points while hiding anything negative. “Few guys for

example would say ‘look, I’m a middle aged alcoholic who’s been married five times, pick me’.

They’re going to present themselves as a good catch.” He said it was easy for people to quickly invest

too much emotionally in an online relationship because they don’t see the full picture of the person

they are emailing.

  Bambling said people can avoid many of the problems by meeting early in the actual relationship,

rather than by getting to know each other only by email. He suggests couples arrange to meet over

coffee after a few emails, which will help people from building up a fantasy image of their match.

“The main thing to remember is to make real life contact as soon as possible if you are interested in

someone, because then you will know contact as soon as possible if you are interested in someone,

because then you will know if a relationship is a possibility.” He said.

1. Why were women quite likely to find Mr. Wrong over the Internet?

   A. Because they often judge a person by his appearance.

   B. Because single women usually felt more lonely.

   C. Because the emotional bonds were hard to break.

   D. Because they were easily attracted by fine comments.

2. About the online relationship Bambling suggests we should be ______.

   A. rejective    B. favorable      C. cautious      D. hopeful

3. The underlined word “exaggerate” in Paragraph 3 probably means “______”.

   A. enlarge     B. invent         C. remove       D. cover

4. What is suggested by Bambling for a better online relationship?

   A. Writing clever comments or emails to girls frequently.

   B. Finding a partner online through one night respond.

   C. Making real life contact before further development.

   D. Investing much emotion in your partner.

China may be the world's most populous country ,and it won the most gold medals at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. But its prowess at soccer is lamentable. China is ranked 84th in the sport's world standing.

Chinese are huge soccer fans, and hundreds of millions are expected to tune in to the World Cup, with all the matches broadcast live on public TV. But this time the Chinese don't have their own team to root for.

"Chinese have a reputation of being good at math, but they have trouble explaining why a population of 1.3 billion cannot produce a winning 11-member soccer team," said Xu Guoqi, a history professor at the University of Hong Kong. Journalists and soccer fans offer a number of reasons, most often money issues, politics, corruption（腐敗）and culture, and sometimes a combination of the four.

Even though China now boasts wealthy companies and individuals who could sponsor（贊助） teams, there is little support as long as Chinese teams are perceived as perennial losers. "This is a very bad circle," Ma said. "No results, no money. No money, no results."

Few Chinese children are playing soccer. Some sports journalists and fans attribute the lack of interest partly to schools de-emphasizing sports in general and the lack of playing venues in the country's dense urban areas. "What can Chinese kids do?” said Fan Huiming, 61, a Chinese soccer fan who grew up watching matches at Beijing's Workers' Stadium, which was built in 1958 near his childhood home. "If they play soccer, the ball may fly directly into the glass of someone's home."

For young people, soccer has largely been eclipsed by basketball, thanks in part to Chinese NBA players who are treated like rock stars. Journalists and fans say NBA's aggressive campaign of marketing and merchandise in China has helped swell the popularity of basketball. By comparison, they noted that international soccer does not even have an office in China.

Rowan Simons, a Briton who came to China more than two decades ago and discovered he wasn't able to play weekend soccer, has been on a campaign to popularize the sport here. Simons said the main problem is that soccer elsewhere has traditionally started as a series of neighborhood clubs, but in China, "there's virtually no football at community level".

"Football in China can only succeed if it's a grass-roots activity organized by the people," he said.

This time the Chinese don't have their own team to root for in the World Cup because__________.

A.China is ranked 84th in soccer 's world standing.

B.they are angry about why China cannot produce a winning soccer team.

C.the Chinese huge soccer fans support other soccer teams.

D.the Chinese soccer team is not capable to go as far as the final part of the World Cup.

Why are few Chinese children playing soccer?

  A.No results, no money. No money, no results.

B.If the footballs fly directly into the glass of someone's home,they’ll be criticised.

C there is little support from wealthy companies and individuals sponsoring teams.

D.schools don’t pay much attention on sports and they lack playing venues in dense urban areas.

The underlined word“eclipsed”in the six paragraph can be replaced by      .

  A.occupied.                      B.beaten.                  C.led.                     D.compared.

According to Rowan,what can be inferred ?

  A.NBA players are more popular than soccer players in China.

B. The future of Chinese football is rather promising.

C. Chinese football should get into the life of ordinary people to survive.

D.Grass-roots Chinese football players can be popular .
