Peter Ball was at a college when the war broke out. He was astute （精明的）and was afraid to lose his life in the fights. So he tried his best to escape joining the army. But he failed and as soon as he left it, he was forced to be a soldier and was flown to Europe. There he made friends with an officer and he was told to manage a shop which supplied daily necessities to the army. And he got some money and was rich. When the war finished, he returned to his homeland. He found a job at a police station. And about ten years later he became a head of the station. So he often used his head and tried to get more money.

   The streets in the town where Mr. Ball worked were narrow and the drivers often broke the traffic regulations（規(guī)則）. The police often fined them before. But It seemed the drivers weren’t afraid of it at all, and the accidents weren’t contained（遏制）and some people were killed for it every year.

   Mr. Ball thought and thought and at last he had a way. He advised stopping fining the drivers  who broke the traffic regulations. Instead, he told his policemen to take the drivers to the village about thirty kilometers away from the town by car. And then they were forced to go back on foot. It was hard for the drivers who seldom walked and few could reach the town in a day. They had to eat something in the restaurants and stay at the hotels between the village and the town. But they didn’t know all the restaurants and hotels belonged to Mr. Ball!

Forget famous goal celebration such as “The Robot” by Peter Crouch and “The Dive” by Juergen Klinsmann, here comes the South African “Diski dance”. The Diski dance, which is performed through heading and kicking an imaginary ball, may be a goal celebration to watch in the following matches.
South Africa’s Siphiwe Tshabalala and his teammates performed this different dance when they celebrated his goal against Mexico in the opening World Cup game on Friday. The dance is already popular on YouTube and many soccer fans may want to learn the moves.
Even South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma has learnt the Diski dance which could be better than Cameroon Roger Milla’s corner flag dance celebration in the 1990 FIFA World Cup. US actor John Travolta performed the dance shortly after landing his Boeing 707 at Lanseria airport, north of Johannesburg, on Wednesday morning.
Goal celebrations are now part of the biggest sporting event and players plan them in advance just in case they find the back of the net. In football, a goal celebration is the practice of celebrating the scoring of a goal. The celebration may be performed by the goal-scorer, his or her teammates, the manager or coaches and the supporters of the team.
The Robot goal celebration was so popular that England fans were surprised when Crouch, an English international footballer, said that he wouldn’t be doing it any more unless England won the World Cup.
The word Diski is the word used by the local people for soccer and may also describe the local style of football which focuses on dribbling(帶球) and other tricks.
【小題1】Besides “Diski dance”, how many types of goal celebrations are mentioned in the passage?

A．2.B．3. C．4. D．5.
【小題2】The underlined part “find the back of the net” in Paragraph 4 means                  .

A．It has become the most popular sports word in the world now.
B．It was used to show how people were good at dribbling.
C．It was used to describe a football which was imagined by footballers.
D．It was probably mainly used in South Africa before the South Africa World Cup.
