Conversation begins almost the moment we come into contact with another and continues throughout the day (56) the aid of cell phones and computers. However, we are so often absorbed in conversation that we (57) sight of its true purpose and value.One important (58) of a good conversation is that the words are (59) used to express thoughts and feelings. We are (60) deep thoughts and strong emotions, yet our vocabularies are not (61) for this expression, and many (62) little effort to expand that. Perhaps you see a movie that (63) you deeply, yet you have the following conversation: “So, what did you think of the film” “Oh, my God, it was so sad, I swear. I went through (64) a box of tissues (面巾纸). I was in tears.” This dialogue is (65) an effective way of expressing feelings. It gives no (66) of how or why the movie truly (67) you. Such commonly-used phrases are certainly not enough to describe a deeply moving experience. However, not only (68) try to avoid overused words, you must (69) be careful in your selection. The purpose of expanding vocabulary is not to use the (70) or most impressive words, but to find those best suited. What is lacking in many conversations is the ability to talk to another rather than just talking with that person. A (71) person will find that even in the most ordinary conversations. There are a thousand questions (72) to be asked if you have courage and a desire for exchange. Good conversations should not be (73) nonsense, but of a meeting of two (74) the human condition. It should bring a better understanding of others and offer a release of emotions more than drive away (75) thoughts or kill time.

Long after the 1998 World Cup was won, disappointed fans were still cursing the disputed refereeing(裁判)decisions that denied victory, to their team. A researcher was appointed to study the performance of some top referees.The researcher organized an experimental tournament (锦标赛) involving four youth teams. Each match lasted an hour, divided into three periods of 20 minutes during which different referees were in charge.Observers noted down the referees’ errors, of which there were 61 over the tournament. Converted to a standard match of 90 minutes, each referee made almost 23 mistakes, a remarkably high number.The researcher then studied the videotapes to analyse the matches in detail. Surprisingly, he found that errors were more likely when the referees were close to the incident. When the officials got it right, they were, on average, 17 meters away from the action. The average distance in the case of errors was 12 meters. The research shows the optimum(最佳的)distance is about 20 meters.There also seemed to be an optimum speed. Correct decisions came when the referees were moving at a speed of about 2 meters per second. The average speed for errors was 4 meters per second.If FIFA, football’s international ruling body, wants to improve the standard of refereeing at the next World Cup, it should encourage referees to keep their eyes on the action from a distance, rather than rushing to keep up with the ball, the researcher argues.He also says that FIFA’s insistence that referees should retire at age 45 may be misguided. If keeping up with the action is not so important, their physical condition is less critical. The number of refereeing errors in the experimental match was ().
A. slightly above average
B. quite unexpected
C. higher than in the 1998 World Cup
D. as high as in a standard match
