Football, of course, also helps to 52 all of Europe. Many fans are obsessed (著迷) with 53 and with international stars. David Beckham, of England' s Manchester United, is a hero to Europeans in the same 54 that Michael Jordan is to 55 .
36. A. given up B. ended up C. agreed with D. started with
37. A. money B. right C. border D. culture
38. A. meet B. unite C. travel D. accept
39. A. specially B. generally C. particularly D. normally
40. A. chance B. right C. wish D. place
41. A. French B. German C. English D. Spanish
42. A. school B. work C. home D. table
43. A. subject B. tool C. need D. must
