听力原文： Christmas is the time when Christians around the world celebrate the birth of Jesus. Every year in December we celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ.. That is why we call this time 'Christmas' -- we celebrate the 'Mass', or church service, for Christ.
Christmas is a truly magical season, bringing families and friends together to share the much loved customs and traditions which have been around for centuries. Most people are on holiday in England and stay at home with their family on Christmas day. Christmas is celebrated on the 25th of December in England, with a Christmas dinner for the whole family. During the weeks before Christmas Day, we send cards, watch nativity plays and go to carol services. We also decorate our homes and churches with green leaves, Christmas trees, paper decorations and colourful electric lights.
Christmas Customs and traditions in England, are gradually being lost. Christmas has also become commercialised and the old meaning of Christmas is too often forgotten.
Nowadays, Christmas is celebrated all over the world in many countries, including China, where it is becoming more and more popular.

Nowadays a superficial traveler in rural England might conclude that the only village tradesmen still flourishing were either selling frozen food to the inhabitants or selling antiques to visitors. Nevertheless, this would really be a false impression. Admittedly there has been a contraction of village commerce, but its vigor is still remarkable.
Our local grocer’s shop, for example, is actually expanding in spite of the competition from supermarkets in the nearest town. Women sensibly prefer to go there and exchange the local news while doing their shopping, instead of queueing up anonymously at a supermarket. And the proprietor knows well that personal service has a substantial cash value.
His prices may be a bit higher than those in the town, but he will deliver anything at any time. His assistants think nothing of bicycling down the village street in their lunch, hour to take a piece of cheese to an old-age pensioner who sent her order by word of mouth with a friend who happened to be passing. The more affluent customers telephone their shopping lists and the goods are on their doorsteps within an hour. They have only to hint at a fancy for some commodity outside the usual stock and the grocer a red-faced figure, instantly obtains it for them.
The village gains from this sort of enterprise, of course. But I also find it satisfactory because a village shop offers one of the few ways in which a modest individualist can still get along in the world without attaching himself to the big battalions of industry or commerce.
Most of the village shopkeepers I know, at any rate, are decidedly individualist in their ways. For exampie, our shoemaker is a formidable figure: a thick-set, irritable man whom children treat with marked respect, knowing that an ill-judged word can provoke an angry eruption at any time. He stares with contempt at the pairs of cheap, mass-produced shoes taken to him for repair: has it come to this, he seems to be saying, that he, a craftsman, should have to waste his skills upon such trash？ But we all know he will in fact do excellent work upon them. And he makes beautiful shoes for those who can afford such luxury.
The services available in villages nowadays are
A．fewer but still very active.
B．less successful than earlier but managing to survive.
C．active in providing food and antiques.
D．surprisingly energetic considering the little demand for them.

W: I don't thinks so. My parents never interfered with my plans too much. They advised me but never forced me to do anything I didn't want to do. I was allowed to take up the career I wanted. I think I respect and love them more for this.
M: Are you quite independent of them now？
W: Yes. As soon as I left school and started my studies as a nurse I became independent financially. I have a government grant. It is enough for my daily life. But I still stay with them a lot, as you know.
M: You seem very close to your parents.
W: I am. Many young people today say they have nothing in common with their parents, but I'm rather lucky because I get on very well with mine. What about you？
M: Well, we value family life very much in my country. I'm very fond of my family, but I don't always get on very well with them. They try to control me too much.
W: But they allow you to come to study in England on your own.
M: Yes, but only after a lot of persuasion! Your parents treat you as an. adult; my parents treat me as a child.
W: As t said, I'm lucky. Some English parents are like yours. They interfere too much and they just refuse to understand our generation.

Football
Modern football originated in England in the 19th century. The first international football match was played in 1871 between Scotland and England and the final score was nil all. Nil is the term used in football to indicate a score of zero and nil all means both teams did not score.
FIFA stands for Federation of International Football Associations and was founded in Paris on 21st May 1904. The first World Cup was held in South America in Montevideo, the capital city of Uruguay in July 1930. FIFA's president at the time, Jules Rimet, was able to persuade 13 teams to meet in Uruguay. Uruguay, planning the celebration of its 100th anniversary of independence in 1930, was assigned the organisation of the first FIFA World Cup. It was the only event not to involve the modern qualifying rounds and the only European teams that came were France, Belgium, Yugoslavia, and Romania. Other European teams either wished to remain in purely amateur events, or argued that the time needed for the trip to South America was far too long. Other than Uruguay six additional South American teams participated, including Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay and Peru. Two teams remained to complete the final 13 for 1930, Mexico and the United States. Victory and the first World Cup went to Uruguay when they beat Argentina four two in the final.
The French sculptor, Abel Lafleur, created the first World Cup trophy, the famous Jules Rimet Cup. This trophy had an interesting history. During the Second World War, it was hidden from the Germans under a bed in an Italian home. After surviving World War Ⅱ, the World Cup was stolen in London during a public exhibition just before the 1966 England World Cup. Fortunately, the trophy was found hidden under a bush by a dog named Pickles before the tournament began. It was stolen again in Brazil in 1983 after the soccer superpower won it permanently after their third World Cup success in 1970. The trophy has never been recovered and many believe that thieves melted it down, leaving Brazil with only a replica of the cup. Under FIFA regulations revised after the disappearance of the Jules Rimet Cup, nowadays even three time champions cannot permanently keep the trophy.
The present trophy is the work of an Italian sculptor named Silvio Gazzaniga and it is 36 centimeters tall and weighs 4.97 kilograms. It was first awarded at the 1974 games in Germany and the champions of the 2006 tournament, also to be held in Germany, will take home a gold-plated replica, which is a little smaller than the original.
Brazil and Germany are the most successful teams in the history of World Cup football. Brazil has won the World Cup five times, including the 2002 World Cup in Japan/South Korea, and taken second place twice. Germany has made it to the final seven times and won the World Cup three times. The only player to have won three World Cups is the Brazilian, Pele whose real name is Edson Arantes do Nascimento.
From 9 June to 9 July 2006, 32 teams will be playing in Germany for the title of the 18th FIFA Football World Champion. There will be a total of 64 matches at 12 venues. After the World Cup in 1974, this is the second time Germany will host the greatest football event in the world and 3.2 million football fans and guests are expected from around the world. The opening match is in Munich on 9 June 2006 and the final match will be in Berlin on 9 July 2006. It will be Germany's second time to host the World Cup after 1974. So far the tournament has been arranged 9 times in Europe, 4 times in Latin America, 2 times in Central America, once in North America and once in Asia(Korea & Japan). It has been never arranged in Africa.
A record number of 205 national teams participated in the qualifiers and there were some surprises in the results. Of the five teams from Africa, Ghana, Togo, Angola and Cote d'Iv
