IV. Read the passage then answer the questions.
For many young people in Britain, sport is a popular part of school life, and being in one of the
school teams and playing in matches is very important. If someone is in a team, it means a lot of extra
practice and often spending a Saturday or Sunday away from home, as many matches are played then.
It can also involve travelling to other towns to play against other school teams and then staying on
after the match for a meal or a drink. Sometimes parents, friends and other students will travel with the
team to support their own side. When a school team wins a match, it is the whole school that feels
proud, not only the players. It can also means that the school becomes well-known for being good at
certain sports, and students from that school may end up playing for national and international teams so
that the school has some really famous names associated with it.
