We doubted who was stealing，but could never prove（证明） it.One day，a good idea came to my mind，and I couldn't wait to try it.
It was break time at noon.I headed down to the kitchen about five minutes early and gave my Coke such a hard shake that I feared may actually go off in my hands.I placed it back in the fridge.Then，I hid into a cupboard in the kitchen，waiting for the right moment.
BINGO!A lady came in and took the Coke.I put my hand over my mouth for her to open it，but she took it with her and left.I thought she would open it in the hall.No!
As I left the kitchen，I heard her yell（叫喊）.I passed her office，and Coke was everywhere：the walls，the floor，all over her desk，computer，her work，and all over her- everywhere!

C. A special lunch. D. An office story.DThere's no doubt that football is the global sport.Though basketball，tennis，and other sports are popular too，nothing comes close to football.Being played in every country in the world，football provides dozens of superstars.The numbers are greater when compared to any other sport，and this drives the popularity of football up.Have you ever wondered when the sport started and became popular？
Football has its origin （起源） in China and has a history of more than 2，000 years.However，modern football originally appeared in Britain in the 19th century.Folk football matches had been played before in many cities and towns，but never on a professional level.
Football became a winter sport game played in different schools.The rules were carried out by each school，and this made it difficult for players to play an official game with each other.It all changed in 1849 at the University of Cambridge that invented a set of standard rules known as the Cambridge rules of football.From that moment，a new star sport was born.
By the early 20th century，football had spread all across Europe.In 1904，FIFA was set up.There are seven original members，including France，Denmark and Spain，FIFA became the governing body for many associations in Europe.
England's international success improved the popularity of the sport in the country.The league （联赛） in Britain was set up in 1992.From the 1990s，it became a truly impressive piece of football organization，becoming the world's top football league in the process.
Football is obviously the most popular sport in the world.It is impossible for any other sport to take its place，especially with leagues spending billions of pounds every year to stay in the focus.12.  What is the author's purpose of writing paragraph 1？ ______ A. To describe the level of football.
B. To introduce the topic of the text.
C. To debate the main idea of the text.
D. To introduce famous football leagues.13.  Where did modern football first start？ ______ A. In China. B. In France. C. In Britain. D. In Spain.14.  Why was it difficult to play an official game before 1849？ ______ A. The rules always changed.
B. There were no common rules.
C. The season made players hard to win.
D. Officials made players misunderstand the rules.15.  How is the text mainly developed？ ______ A. By time order. B. By space order.
C. By listing numbers. D. By giving examples. 二、阅读七选五（本大题共5小题，共12.5分）It is never too late to develop great study habits.However，starting making some changes is hard.Even if you want to do well enough in school and improve your grades，you're probably having trouble getting started in the first place!

(19).Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later.Taking notes helps you remember what the teacher says.
