28、g rigorous artistic standards, the Venice Festival awards some of the film Industry s most distinguished prizes, especially the Golden Lion award for the best film.

35、y. A recent study found that almost I8 million young boys and girls play soccer in the United States.

36、n one million Americans are expected to go and see the teams play. Organizers say this year s World Cup will be the biggest ever. All the seats at most of the 52 games have already been sold.

37、come to this country? And how long has it existed in other parts of the world? No one knows exactly where the idea for soccer came from, or when people began playing the game. Some scientists say there is evidence that ball games using the feet were played thousands of years ago. There is evidence t

38、hat ancient Greeks and Romans and native American Indians all played games similar to soccer. Most experts agree that Britain is the birthplace of modern soccer.

43、 United States would win. 55 The long years of food shortage in this country have suddenly given way to apparent abundance. Stores and shops are choked with food. Rationing is virtually suspended, and overseas suppliers have been asked to hold back deliveries. Yet instead of joy, there is widespread

44、 uneasiness and confusion. Why do food prices keep on rising, when there seems to be so much more food about7 Is the abundance only temporary, or has it come to stay7 Does it mean that we need to think less now about producing more food at home? No one knows what to expect. The recent growth of expo

45、rt surpluses on the world food market has certainly been unexpectedly great, partly because a strange sequence of two successful grain harvests in North America is now being followed by a third. Most of Britains overseas suppliers of meat, too, are offering more this year and home production has als

The older generations have seen it all happen before. Despite the present price and market guarantees, farmers fear they are about to b

49、e squeezed between cheap food imports and a shrinking home market. Present production is running at 51 per cent above pre-war levels, and the government has called for an expansion to 60 per cent by 1956; but repeated Ministerial advice is carrying little weight and the expansion program is not working very well. 56 Why is there “wide-spread uneasiness and confusion“ about the food situation in Britain? （ A） Despite the abundance, food prices keep ri
