Language Points
1.--What's the score?比分是多少？
  --Spain scored a minute ago.
 西班牙（队）一分钟前得分了。
  在第一个句子中，score是名词，意思是“比分，进球数”；第二个句子中的
score是动词，表示“得分，进球”。
After two hours and twenty minutes of play,the final score was 3:2.
经过两个小时二十分钟的比赛，最终比分为三比二。
Arsenal scored in the final minute of the game.
阿森纳队在比赛的最后一分钟进了一球。
2.So this week's match is already more exciting.
  因此，这周的比赛早已更令人激动。
英语中的形容词有很多为多音节词，如：
dangerous,difficult,exciting,expensive,beautiful,popular等，
其比较级形式是在该形容词前加more。除了多音节形容词变比较级要用
more之外，部分双音节形容词，如careful,tiring,boring等比较级也是
在其前加more。
由此可见，多音节形容词及部分双音节形容词比较级的句式结构为：
A+谓语+more+多音节形容词/部分双音节形容词+than+B。
(1)This picture is more beautiful than that one.
这张照片比那张照片漂亮。
(2)He is more careful than the others.
他比其他人更仔细。
(3)The football match is more exciting.
足球赛更激动人心。
(4)Your shirt is more expensive than mine.
3.But you enjoyed watching the Olympic on TV,right?
但是你喜欢在电视上观看奥运，是吗？
enjoy欣赏；享受；喜爱[+v.-ing]

我很喜欢读这些书。
Tom doesn't enjoy going to cinema.
汤姆不喜欢看电影。
4.And staying at home was easier than going to the stadium.
呆在家里比去体育馆容易。
stay at home.“呆在家里”在句子中作主语，因此要用动名词或不定式形式。
课文中像这样的句子还有：
Watching is not dangerous and it's more relaxing too!
