31. Poetry is a kind of "saying." It is, however, a kind that many people, until they become well acquainted with it, feel rather peculiar and even useless. They feel this way for two reasons: the "way of the saying" and the "nature of the said."
32. In 1863 the Football Association was established in England, and the rules of the game have remained essentially the same ever since. Their relative simplicity, and need for little equipment ensured that it became very_ popular. The power of the British Empire meant that it became played in every comer of the world.

A.  Translate the following passage into Chinese. Write your translation on the Answer Sheet.
41.
Losing your temper is not just a social hazard. It's also a health risk, with new research showing that the chance of a heart attack is 8.5 times higher in the two hours after a burst of intense anger.
In the first Australian study to investigate the link between acute emotional triggers and high risk of severe cardiac episodes, researchers found that "episodes of intense anger can act as a trigger for a heart attack", says lead author Dr. Thomas Buckley from the University of Sydney Nursing School who is also a researcher at Royal North Shore Hospital.
"The data shows that the higher risk of a heart attack isn't necessarily just while you're angry  it lasts for two hours after the outburst," Dr. Buckley says. "The triggers for these bursts of intense anger were associated with: arguments with family members (29 per cent); arguments with others (42 per cent); work anger (14 per cent); and driving anger (14 per cent)."
