长难句：
But the significant thing is not the behavior of the plays but the attitude of the spectators. and behind 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. 但是令人感到意味深长的不是运动员的行为而是观众的态度，以及在观众后面的对这些可笑的比赛如痴如狂的各国的态度，他们一本正经的相信----至少在短时间内是这样----赛跑、跳高和踢球都是对国力强弱的检验。
练习答案：
选A absurd多指在常识和理性上不合情理或违反真实情况而使人感到荒唐可笑；ridiculous多指事物不合常理令人发笑；foolish在人为主语 be foolish to do句型中，表示做……是不明智的，或用于It is foolish of sb. to do 句型。
