But two of the worlds highest-ranked teamswith some of footballs highest-paid playerscouldnt get the ball into the net. And they were playing against sides that only just made it to the World Cup.With two defeats, one draw（平局）and no goals, France collected its newest title since rising to the top of the game four years ago: the worst defending champion in World Cup history.“Im very disappointed, its the end of a beautiful story,” said a French striker David Trezeguet. “The story began in 1998 and ended today against Denmark.”France won the 2000 European Championships and was ranked the best team on the planet before the World Cup.Besides the goalposts and crossbars seeming to be against this unlucky team, Frances game plan has been the same for four years so opponents (competitors) know it by heart.Senegal, an African team playing in its first World Cup, surprised everyone by beating France in the opening World Cup match before entering the second round successfully.Uruguay and Denmark followed a similar strategy to stop France, creating a defensive barrier（屏障）and launching many counter-attacks.Following France, Argentina became the second big-name to take an early plane home from this years World Cup.The South Americans were expected to become world champions for a third time. This was particularly because of an impressive display when they lost just one of their 18 qualifying matches.The teams 1-0 loss to England on June 7 was the beginning of a nightmare for the players.

He, since a very early age, has been looking after cattle. At twelve years old he knows more about cattle than most of you. However, he has never been to school. Has this boy had any education?Education is discovering about ourselves and about the people and things around us. All the people who care about us our parents, brothers, sisters, friends are our teachers. In fact, we learn something from everyone we meet. We start learning on the day we were born, not on the first day we go to school. Every day we have new experiences, like finding a birds nest, discovering a new street in our neighborhood, making friends with someone we didnt like before. New experiences are even more fun when we share them with other people.Encouragement from the people around us enables us to explore things as many as possible. As we grow up, we begin to find out what we are capable of doing. You may be good at cooking, or singing or playing football. You find this out by doing these things. Just thinking about cooking doesnt tell you whether you are good at it.We learn so much just living from day to day. So why is school important? Of course you can learn some things better at home than at school, like how to do the shopping, and how to help old or disabled people who cant do everything for themselves. At school, teachers help us to read and write. With their guidance, we begin to see things in different ways.63. The writer takes the African boy as an example to show that _.A.
