阅读理解A 体裁 说明文 题材 球迷癖好 词数 291 　　On the morning of Super Bowl Sunday in February, I didn’t have to think about what to wear. It was smelly, shabby and too small for me, but none of that mattered - it was my lucky NFL football jersey(运动衫), a black-and-gold No. 36 Jerome Bett is shirt. My dad bought it for me when I was little. I would wear it every day that the Pittsburgh Steelers, my favorite NFL team, played a game. On this particular day, I couldn’t dream of breaking my habit. Sports superstitions like mine are extremely common in the United States, because being a sports fan is a bit like practicing a religion. Just as religious people perform various rituals(仪式)to send love to their gods, sports fans’ routines send supportive energy to their favorite teams. All sports fans stubbornly believe that this helps their teams win. For years, my friends and I would watch the Steelers play football on the same TV, eating the same snacks, wearing the same clothes. We’d even do bizarre things. During crucial plays, we would each grab our left foot and be completely silent. We thought this gave our team favor with the “football gods”. That Sunday, back in 2009, the football gods smiled on us - while we each held onto our left foot, Santonio Holmes caught a pass from Ben Roethlisberger and the Steelers won their sixth Super Bowl. As I looked around at the fans celebrating in the Pittsburgh streets, I could see that they felt they had won the game themselves. And in a way, they had—their weird(奇怪的)rituals had worked. None of them asked me to change into a better-smelling shirt. 1. What is the purpose of the text? A. To describe his enthusiasm for football. B. To show why sports fans are superstitious in the US.
