Brazil (巴西) is the greatest football nation in the world. There are 100 million Brazilians (巴西人). How many of them are football fans? 100 million! All of them think that they know all about football. This makes life very difficult for the Brazilian team manager. When things go badly for the Brazilian team, the newspaper would demand (要求) that the team manager should leave his job. “If we win, they put me in heaven (天堂),” as a manager once said, “If we lose, they put me in hell (地狱).”

You can’t escape football in Brazil. There are football matches on every street and beach. On television, the results of the football matches come before the main news programs. There are six television channels in Rio de Janeiro. On Sundays each channel shows a different football match.

Brazil is not the richest country in the world, but the government spends huge sums of money on football. It cost more than one billion pounds to prepare for the 1978 World Cup. That’s 10 pounds for every Brazilian man, woman, and child. And many Brazilians don’t earn as much as 10 pounds a week. Is it worth it?

“Brazil must have a great football team,” says one journalist. “If it costs one billion pounds, that’s all right. If the government doesn’t give a good football team, then it will become unpopular. Football is more than a game in Brazil.”

Football is more than a game in Brazil. This is certainly true in its largest city, Sao Paulo. The most popular team is Corinthians. Corinthians’ fans are the most loyal (忠实的) and emotional in Brazil. When Corinthians win, production in the Sao Paulo car factories increases by fifteen per cent. When they lose, it drops. At one time Corinthians won the national championship for the first time. For four days fans danced and sang in the streets.

小说阅读（14分）
几分钟后，伽西莫多用失望的眼神扫视了人们一遍，又用更加令人心碎的声音喊道：“给水喝！”
仍然只引起一阵哄笑。
“喝这个吧！”罗班·普斯潘叫喊着，把一块在阴沟里泡过的海绵扔到他的脸上，“拿去吧，恶汉！算我欠你的情哪！”
有个妇人把一块石子向他头上扔去：“这是给你在黑夜里用那些倒霉的钟警醒我们的教训！”
“喂，小子！”一跛脚使劲拄着拐杖走到他跟前喊道，“你还在圣母院塔顶上咒骂我们不？”
“这只碗给你去喝水！”一个男人把一个破瓦罐向他的胸脯扔去，“我老婆就是因为看见你从她面前走过，才生下了一个两个脑袋的娃娃。”
“我的母猫生下了一只六只脚的小猫！”一个老妇把一块瓦片向他头上扔去，尖声嚷道。
“给水喝！”伽西莫多喘息着喊了三遍。
这时他看见人群里闪开一条路，走出了一位装束奇特的姑娘，身边带着一只金色特角的雪白的小山羊，手里拿着一面小鼓。
伽西莫多的独眼闪了一下，原来就是昨晚曾经想抢走的那个波希米亚姑娘呀。他模糊地意识到正是因为那件事他此刻才在这里受惩罚呢。何况这种事在这个世界上并不算稀罕，他不是由于不幸耳聋，又由于被一位聋法官审问，才受到了惩处的吗？他十分相信她是来向他报复的，也是向别人一样来打他的。
看见她真的迅速走上石阶，愤怒和轻视使他透不过气，他真想把刑台打个粉碎，假若他的独眼能够发出雷电，那波希米亚姑娘一定会给雷电击毙，上不了刑台啦。
她一言不发地走进那扭着身子枉自躲避她的犯人，从胸前取出一只葫芦，温柔地举到那可怜人干裂的嘴边。
这时，人们看见他那一直干燥如焚的独眼里，滚出了一大颗眼泪，沿着那长时间被失望弄皱了的难看的脸颊慢慢流下来。这也许是那不幸的人生平第一次流出的眼泪。
这时他竟忘记了要喝水了，那埃及姑娘不耐烦地扁了扁小嘴，微笑着把水倒在伽西莫多张着的嘴里，他一口气喝着，他显然是渴到极点了。
喝完水，那可怜人便要伸出黑黑的嘴，无疑是想吻吻那帮助了他的美丽的小手。但那姑娘有些疑惑，想起来前一晚上那件未遂的暴行，便像小孩害怕被野兽咬着似的，惊恐地把手缩回去了。
于是那可怜的聋子用充满责怪和无限悲哀的眼光望着她。那漂亮、鲜艳、纯洁、迷人而又那么娇弱的姑娘，竟会那样好心肠地跑去救助一个如此可怜可恶的家伙，那情景无论如何是很动人的，而这件事又发生在一个刑台上，那就更为动人了。
观众也被感动了，大家拍手喊道：“好极了，好极了！”
