As fans enjoy football’s(soccer’s)month-long World Cup, Brazilian authorities are pleased over the boost they say the tournament is giving the country’s economy. However, independent analysts who study such events are less enthusiastic. The 2014 World Cup has injected an estimated $15 billion into the Brazilian economy and created many jobs.
Regarding the human legacy, the numbers are extraordinary: the creation of one million jobs in the country due to this great event, one million jobs or 15 percent of all the jobs created this year in Brazil.
The government has invested $11 billion in stadiums and infrastructure and another $2 billion in security. It is expected to spend billions more preparing for the 2016 Olympic games in Rio.
But an analyst who studies such great events, Architecture and Urbanism Professor at Rio de Janeiro’ s Fluminense Federal University, Chris Gaffney, believes these figures are exaggerated. "I don’t think that they’ve invested enough money to create those kinds of permanent jobs. In the scale of the Brazilian economy, we ’re not looking at that much money being invested. It’s 30 billion dollars invested in a $1 trillion economy."
Another expert, Lisa Delpy Neirotti of George Washington University’ s business school in the United States, says the real economic benefits of such events are less tangible and more long-term. "There’s a lot of transfer of knowledge," she said. "People are learning more about hospitality. There’s also the broadcast center where they’re being trained in how to use technology. And so I think it’ s in the media sector, a lot in the hospitality industry and also in licensing and merchandizing, retail." She said. "Yes, there’ s been a lot of money spent here but we have to realize that the infrastructure that they’ve built up around the World Cup is something that will last and it stays in the country."
Other analysts say the Cup may help the Brazilian economy but it also boosts inflation and public debt. Less than half of the Brazilians in a recent poll believed that hosting the Cup was a good idea. And there have been many demonstrations against the Cup, though they have declined since the tournament began.
Nevertheless, many Brazilians are proud to host the World Cup and the 600,000 foreign visitors it brings. The hope is that they will spread the good word about Brazil when they return home. [br] According to the passage why is Brazilian government so pleased with the World Cup?
选项
A、It will spread the good word about Brazil.
B、It will enhance Brazil’ s international status.
C、It has boosted its economy.
D、It has created many jobs.
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据题干中的so pleased with the World Cup可以定位到第一段中的As fans enjoy football’s(soccer’s)month-long World Cup,Brazilian authorities arepleased over the boost they say the tournament is giving the country’s economy,由此.可以看出当局满意的主要原因是世界杯促进了经济的发展。A讲的是世界杯会传播巴西的美名,但是这是一般巴西人的想法不是政府的。C项符合要求。B的内容在文中没有提到,D讲它产生了许多工作,这只是促进经济的一方面,不够全面。因此,正确答案是C。
