A. Choose the best answer. (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)（12分）
Brazil(巴西) is the greatest football nation in the world. There are 100 million Brazilians (巴西人). How many of them are football fans? 100 million! All of them think that they know all about football. This makes life very difficult for the Brazilian team manager. When things go badly for the Brazilian team, the newspaper would demand(要求) that the team manager should leave his job. “If we win, they put me in heaven(天堂),” as a manager once said, “If we lose, they put me in hell(地狱).”
You can’t escape football in Brazil. There are football matches on every street and beach. On television, the results of the football matches come before the main news programs. There are six television channels in Rio de Janeiro. On Sundays each channel shows a different football match.
Brazil is not the richest country in the world, but the government spends huge sums of
money on football. It cost more than one billion pounds to prepare for the 1978 World Cup. That’s 10 pounds for every Brazilian man, woman, and child. And many Brazilians don’t earn as much as 10 pounds a week. Is it worth it?
“Brazil must have a great football team,”says one journalist. “If it costs one billion pounds, that’s all right. If the government doesn’t give a good football team, then it will become unpopular. Football is more than a game in Brazil.”
Football is more than a game in Brazil. This is certainly true in its largest city, Sao Paulo. The most popular team is Corinthians. Corinthians’fans are the most loyal(忠实的)and emotional in Brazil. When Corinthians win, production in the Sao Paulo car factories increases by fifteen per cent. When they lose, it drops. At one time Corinthians won the national championship for the first time. For four days fans danced and sang in the streets.
74. In Brazil the number of football fans and its population are __________.
A. the same
B. less
C. more
D. 100 billion
75. Life for __________ is no easy, for he will be put in hell if the football team loses.

A. football matches

D. football matches on the beaches
77. The government spent __________ in preparing for the 1978 World Cup though the country was not rich.
A. one billion dollars
B. one million pounds

79. The best title of the passage is __________.

Now she is going down.
We had another lady here two years ago, she had two sons. She fell and had a ____83____ leg. They called the eldest son. He said, “Why call on me? Call the little one. She gave all the money to that little one.” That was bad. I was right there.
All these people are not helpless. But just the family ____84____ them. There is an old man here. His children took him for a ride one day, pushed him out of the car, let him walk and wander(徘徊)by himself. He couldn’t find his way home. His children try to ____85____ all that he has. They are trying to make him sign papers and things like those. There is nothing wrong with him. He can dress himself, cook his own meals, take a walk…They signed him in here, made the lawyers sign him in. They are just in for money.
