问题     A soccer referee suspended (吊销执照) for scoring a goal while taking charge of a game has resigned after being found guilty of bringing the game into disrepute by the Essex County Football Association. The Essex County Football Association said that they were disappointed by the decision of Savill, who hit the headlines last year when his sympathy for a team getting beaten 18-1 went too far.  "It is a pretty unique case and hopefully it won’ t happen again," said Essex County FA chief executive Phil Sammons.
    Brian Savill was taking charge of a Great Bromley Cup game in the south of England between Earls Colne Reserves and Wimpole 2000. With 10 minutes remaining and Wimple getting beaten 18-1, Savill found the ball at his feet in front of the Earls Coine goal and immediately banged it into the net, before signaling a goal.
    The laws of the game state that the referee is part of the playing area and that the game con tinues if the ball strikes him. There is no item in the laws to differentiate between an accidental or deliberate (故意的) touch of the ball. Savill’ s bizarre (匪夷所思的) goal made little difference to the outcome as Earls Coine went on to win 20-2, but the officials were impressed. The Essex County Football Association finally found 47-year-old Savill guilty of bringing the game into disrepute and suspended him for seven weeks.  Savill, a referee with 18 years’ experience, resigned after finding out about the decision.  "They haven’t got a sense of humor," he told The Times newspaper.  "It brought enjoyment to everyone’ s lives. It shows refereeing can be enjoyable and that we are not Hitlers running blowing whistles all the time." However, he advised other referees against following his example. [br] What does the word "it" in Line  of Paragraph 3 refer to?
选项 A、A sense of humor.
B、The football game.
C、His goal in the game.
D、The score of the game.
答案 C
解析 指代题。Savill的话是针对自己踢进的球说的，而且用的是过去时态，故it是指他所进的球。选项A比较有迷惑性，因为前面说“They haven’t got a sense of humor．”，但是这里也是在说他们没有幽默感，不能理解他的做法，故选项A不正确。答案为C。
