Football is, I suppose, the most popular games in England. One had only to go to one of the important 31 to see this. One can see kinds of people there, shouting and 32 for one side or the other.
One of the most 33 thing about football in England to a stranger is the __34__ knowledge of the game which even the 35 seems to have.

He will tell you 38 he expects will win such and such a match,
39 his opinion is usually as 40 as that of men three or four times his 41 .
Most schools in England take 42 seriously—much more seriously than nearly all the schools in other countries, 43 lessons are all important and games are left for one’s own arrangements（安排）. In England, it is believed that 44 is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in the 45 ; it also means character training; and one of the 46 ways of training character is by means of games, 47 team games, where the boy has to learn to 48 with others for his team, instead of working just for himself alone. The school therefore arranges games and matches for its 49 . Football is a good team game and it is good exercise for 50 .

The sun was shining when I got on No. 151 bus. We passengers sat jammed in heavy clothes. No one 36 . That’s one of the unwritten rules 37 we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 38 behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using them to keep 39 distance.
As the bus came near the Mile, a 40 suddenly rang out, “Attention! This is your 41 speaking.” We looked at the back of the driver’s head. “Put your 42 down, all of you.” The papers came down. “Now, turn and 43 the person next to you.”
Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an old woman. I saw her 44 every day. We waited for the next 45 from the driver. “Now repeat after me. Good morning, neighbor!”
But our voices were a little 46 . For many of us, this was the 47 word we had spoken that day. When we said them together, like 48 to people beside us, we couldn’t help 49 . There was the feeling of relief. Moreover, there was the sense of ice being 50 . To say the three words was not so 51 after all.
The bus driver said nothing more. He didn’t 52 to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a 53 sound I had never heard before in this bus.
When I 54 my stop, I said goodbye to my seatmate, and then 55 the bus. That day I was starting happily.
