VIII.Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B,C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions .
Football, or soccer in the U.S, dates back to 2500 B.C with the Chinese game of tsuchu. The sport we
know today originated from Britain. Today, more than 120 million players over the globe participate in
the game, making soccer the world's sport.
So, why is soccer so popular? Maybe it's the feeling that the team on the field is your team; their win is
your victory, and their loss is your defeat. Or maybe it is the game's international quality. In countries
like France, England, Spain, Brazil, major teams have players from many different nations, and these
clubs now have fans all over the world. Or perhaps it's the promise of great wealth. A number of
professional soccer players, including Cameroon's Samuel Eto' o and Portugal's Cristiano Ronaldo,
come from poor families. Today, both of these players make millions of euros every year.
However, ultimately, the main reason for its universal appeal may be this: It's a simple game. It can be
played anywhere with anything - a ball, a can, or even some bags tied together. And anyone can play it.
In the mid - 1800s, European colonists brought the game to Africa. Early matches were first played in
the South African cities of Cape Town in 1862: Today, some of the game's best players come from
African nations and all over the continent, thousands of soccer academies now recruit boys from poorer
cities and towns to play the game. Their dream is to join a national team or one of the big clubs in
Europe someday. For some, the dream comes true, but for most, it doesn't.
Question 37: What is the main topic of the passage?
A. How African soccer began B. The history of soccer
C. The popularity of soccer D. Soccer clubs
Question 38: According to the passage, where did the sport football or soccer that we know today
originate from?
A. Britain B. America C. Portugal D. China
Question 39: In the second paragraph, which of these is NOT given as a possible reason for soccer's
popularity?
A. The possibility of earning more money
B. The number of soccer games shown on TV
C. Well - known players from many different countries
D. The team spirit among players
Question 40: What does the author mean by " It's a simple game. " in paragraph 3?

B. You can play it anywhere with anything.
C. There are many local versions of soccer.
