READING

Read the following passages carefully then choose the best answer to the
questions:
THE FAMOUS CUP
It's only 36 centimeters tall, but to fans throughout the world, it represents the highest
achievement in football. Every four years, teams from all over the globe compete to take
home the FIFA World Cup Trophy, yet nobody ever does.
Do you know why? Nobody ever takes it home because the 18-carat gold trophy is kept
under lock and key by FIFA (Federation Internationale de Football Association). The
champions of each World Cup tournament receive only a replica. This is to protect the
valuable prize from thieves, who have stolen the World Cup trophy twice in its 75-year
history.
The little trophy has certainly had a troubled existence. The original trophy was made by a
French sculptor, Abel LaFleur, and was called the "Jules Rimet Cup," in honor of the
founder of the World Cup tournament. Sometime during the first three World Cup events

(1930, '34 and '38), the name changed to simply the "World Cup." Then during World War
II, not much was seen or heard of the trophy. It was being kept hidden in a shoe box under
the bed of Dr. Ottorino Barassi, the Italian vice-president of FIFA, to prevent it from falling
into the hands of the Nazi army.
Although the trophy made it safely through the war, it didn't fare so well during the
turbulent 1960s. In 1966, the Cup was stolen during a public showing of the trophy prior to
the World Cup tournament in England. Luckily, it was found a short time later none the
worse for wear in a trash container, by a little dog named Pickles.
Four years later, Brazil earned permanent possession of the original trophy by winning its
third World Cup title. Unfortunately, the trophy was stolen a second time, in 1983, and was
never recovered. The Brazilian Football Association had to have a duplicate trophy made.
After the first trophy became the possession of Brazil's football association, a new World
Cup Trophy for FIFA was designed by an Italian artist, Silvio Gazazniga, in 1974. This
trophy cannot be won outright, but remains in the possession of FIFA, and rest assured they
are keeping a close eye on it. Today, World Cup winners are awarded a replica of the trophy
that is gold-plated, rather than solid gold like the real one.

WRITING A PARAGRAPH: causes & problems

In many countries, people are moving away from rural areas towards urban areas. Why do
you think that is? What problems can this cause?

All over the world, people are changing their house from countrysides
to the cities. Firstly, because they want to expand their business.
Now in some countrysides, there is a few people so they cannot
sell their products. Secondly, they want to change their lifes, their
accommodations to a more crowded places. They also want to live in
urban areas because it is the beginning of the supplies such as business,
school and medical services. This can lead to some dangerous problems.
First, the environment will be polluted. Second, it can lead to overpopulation
problem.
