26、What is the best soccer club in the world? The International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) has named FC Barcelona the best world club of the decade (2011-2020). The Spanish club also topped the rankings(排名) for this century's first decade (2001-2010).
The ranking is determined by rating (打分) results from each of a club's matches. During the past 10 years, Barcelona won 22 trophies, including two Champions Leagues(欧洲冠军杯) and two UEFA Super Cups(欧洲超级杯), earning a score of 2,877 points. Its rival (对手) Real Madrid earned 2,782 points, while FC Bayern München ended up with 2,594 points.
The club obviously won based on its success. But what is it that truly makes a soccer club great? For one thing, the club has its own style, which is also one of the reasons it has been so successful. Instead of relying on physical strength, Barcelona players use more technical skills, especially when it comes to passing. This style works well on the field and is very entertaining(有观赏性的) to watch as well.
This style is used by some of the world's best players. Many clubs have great players, but “Barcelona is able to bring them together in a way that fans love”, said the sports website Bleacher Report. The club once had superstars like Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar who played together like a “goal-scoring machine”.
Although the club has the spending power to buy big stars, they often prefer to use players from their youth team. These young players are very loyal to Barcelona. Messi is one player who has risen up through the ranks of the Barcelona academy(青训营).
When Barcelona fans cheer on their team at their home stadium, Camp Nou, they often hold signs saying “Més que un club”, which means“More than a club”. This seems to have been proven true during the past decades.
【1】What title did FC Barcelona win recently?
A.The UEFA Super Cup.
B.The Champions League.
C.The biggest rival club from 2001 to 2010

A.How many matches the club has won.
B.Why the club was ranked as the best.
C.How each match the club won was rated.
D.Who the club will compete with.
【3】Which is Barcelona' secret to becoming so successful?
A.It trains its players to win with physical strength.
B.It spends large sums of money buying star players.
C.It often uses loyal players from its own youth team.

【4】What is the story about?

29、 People long ago thought bad spirits (神灵) caused disease. Sometimes they cut a hole in the sick person's head to let the bad spirit out. Others thought that illness was a punishment from the gods. The Greeks in old times were the first to understand that bad spirits and gods do not cause disease.
Hippocrates, called the father of medicine, and another Greek named Galen believed that disease was caused by our body fluids (液体) which are not balanced. Doctors used bleeding as a treatment for almost all illnesses. The doctor cut blood vessel (血管) and got out some blood. They thought this brought the fluids back into balance.
Doctors performed surgical operations (外科手术). About half of the surgical patients died from infection (感染) . Operating rooms were dirty, and surgeons did not even wash their hands. Things got better after Pasteur and Koch. British surgeon Joseph Lister showed how to make operating rooms clean.
Operations once had to be done quickly because there was so way to put patients to sleep. A doctor and a dentist first used ether (乙醚) in the 1s. Ether and other drugs let surgeons put patients to sleep during operations. These drugs, called anesthetics, reduce pain during surgery. With anesthetics, surgeons learned how to perform longer operations to save lives.
Medical researchers are now looking for ways to cure diseases caused by problems with genes. Genes are made of DNA. If something goes wrong with its DNA, the gene can make trouble. Some problems with genes appear at birth. Others happen later on. Doctors do not yet have good treatments for diseases caused by genetic problems.
Doctors and researchers are also working to prevent diseases by helping people lead healthy lives. They tell us to eat nutritious food, exercise, avoid smoking, and have regular physical checkups.

A.Help a person sleep well.
