II. Reading the passage :

Nearly all the sports practised nowadays are competitive. You play to win, and the

game has little meaning unless you do your utmost to win. On the village green, where

you pick up sides and no feeling of local patriotism is involved, it is possible to play

simple for the fun and exercise: but as soon as the question of pretige arises, as soon as

you feel that you and some larger unit will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage

combative instincts are aroused. Anyone who has played even in a school football match

know this. At the international level sport is frankly mimic warfare. But the significant

thing is not the behavour of the players but the spectators, of the nations who work

themselves into furies over these absurd contests, and seriously believe - at any rate for

short periods - that running, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of national virtue.
