The Biggest Stadiums in the World
People have been pouring into stadiums since the days of ancient Greece. In around 80 A．D．, the Romans built the Colosseum, which remains the world’s best known stadium and continues to inform contemporary design. Rome’s Colosseum was 157 feet tall and had 80 entrances, seating 50,000 people. However, that was small fry compared with the city’s Circus Maximus, which accommodated around 250,000 people.
These days, safety regulations-not to mention the modern sports fan’s desire for a good view and comfortable seat—tend to keep stadium capacities（容量） slightly lower. Even soccer fans tend to have a seat each; gone are the days of thousands standing to watch the match.
For the biggest stadiums in the world, we have used data supplied by the World Atlas list so far, which ranks them by their stated permanent capacity, as well as updated information from official stadium websites.
All these stadiums are still funtional, still open and still hosting the biggest events in world sport.
·Rungrado 1st of May Stadium, Pyongyang D．P.R. Korea. Capacity: 150,000. Opened: May 1,1989.
·Michigan Stadium, Ann Arbor, Michigan, U. S. Capacity: 107,601. Opened: October 1, 1927.
·Beaver Stadium, State College, Pennsylvania, U. S. Capacity: 106,572. Opened: September 17, 1960.
·Ohio Stadium, Columbus, Ohio, U. S. Capacity: 104,944. Opened: October 7,1922.
·Kyle Field, College Station, Texas, U. S. Capacity: 102,512. Opened: September 24, 1927.

What is language for Some people seem to think it’s for practising grammar rules and learning lists of words — the longer the lists , the better. That’s wrong. Language is for the exchange of ideas and information. It’s meaningless knowing all about a language if you can’t use it freely. Many students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules , but they can’t speak correctly or fluently. They are afraid of making mistakes. One shouldn’t be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules , too. Bernard Shaw once wrote ,“ Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They’re English mistakes in the English language. And if enough native speakers break a rule , it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right. People not only make history , they make language. But a people can only make its own language. It can’t make another people’s language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar , but they shouldn’t overdo (做过头) it. They should put communication first.
8．According to the passage , language is used to _____.
A．express oneself B．practise grammar rules
C．talk with foreigners only D．learn lists of words
9．Generally, when an American or an Englishman speak English , he or she____.
A．never makes mistakes B．often makes mistakes
C．can’t avoid making mistakes D．always makes mistakes
10．The underlined sentence “ Foreigners often speak English too correctly.” means that ____.
A．foreigners speak correct English
B．foreigners speak incorrect English
C．foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English
D．foreigners speak English according to the grammar rules
11．If too many native speakers break a rule ,______.
A．they are against the law B．what they use will become right
C．they should say sorry to others D．they will become heroes
D
In China, many people are leaving the countryside to find jobs in the cities, because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often there isn’t much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city.
But in the big cities of Europe like London or Pads, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don’t want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there.
So they move out of the cities. Some don’t go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don’t make so much money and there isn’t much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren’t always very friendly.
As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. "It’s wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights," they say.
12．Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China
A．The countryside is much poorer than me city.
B．People in the countryside have nothing to eat.
C．People in the countryside don’t have much work to do there.
D．Services in cities are usually much better than those in the countryside.
13．Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside
A．Because they will find good jobs.
B．Because they can make more money there.
C．Because they are tired of living in the city.
D．Because they like feeding sheep and cows in the green fields.
14．The underlined sentence in the last paragraph shows __________.
A．they are happy to move back to the city
B．they miss their friends in the countryside
C．they still want to move to the countryside
D．they are tired of the noise and the crowded streets in the city
15．The best title of this passage may be “__________”.
A．A happy life! B．Living in the city!
C．Living in the countryside! D．Moving out or moving back
