The game of soccer developed from some of these early games. The English probably gave soccer its name and its rules. In European countries, soccer is called football. Some people believe that the name “soccer” came from the high socks that the players wear. Organized soccer games began in 1863. In soccer, two teams of eleven players try to kick or head the ball into the goal of the other team. The goal keeper, who tries to keep the ball out of the goal, is the only player on the field who can touch the ball with his or her hands. The other players must use their feet, heads, and bodies to control the ball. Every four years, soccer teams around the world compete for the World Cup. The World Cup competition started in 1930.

This five hundred year – old statue, which has the body of a lion and the face of a human being, is too badly damaged to be completely saved. First, there is not a good drainage system around the statue and too much water has been running into the stone statue for several years. As a result, tiny pieces of salt have been left on the stone and have damaged it. Second, air pollution from the increasing amount of traffic in Cario is also destroying the ancient statue. The air is so full of poisonous gases that it is damaging the tstatue even faster. Third, the statue is being destroyed by the extremes of temperature. The air is very cold at night , but during the day the stone of the statue becomes very hot under the strong sunlight. Other natural forces such as severe sandstorms attack the statue as well. Finally, the tourists who visit the statue everyday also cause a lot of damage to it. 5 6- There is a statue in the center of Cairo. 7- According to the passage, the statue was built 500 years ago. 8- All of the the following are mentioned as causes of damage to the statue except tourists. 9- It can be inferred from the text that tiny pieces of salt have been put on the statue to prevent damage.
