Who could forget those sleepless nights last summer watching Germany beat Brazil(巴西) and Argentina(阿根廷) to win the 2014 World Cup in Brazil?
It was their fourth World Cup， and it gave them the No.1 position in FIFA(国际足联). Germany is becoming the most important soccer team in the world. But how has this change happened? A newspaper offers a clue： “For over 10 years， German teams have been building in the right way.”
After Germany scored only one goal at the 2000 European Championships， Germans wondered why the country no longer produced good young players. So in 2001， the German Football League required that all Bundesliga (德甲) clubs set up schools with youth teams from Under-12s to Under-23s.
The clubs now spend over €100 million (764 million yuan) on youth development every year. And they have improved young German players enough to put them among the best in Europe. For example， Bayern Munich(拜仁慕尼黑队) player Thomas Mueller， 25， who scored five times at the 2014 World Cup， was educated in one of the schools.
More than anything， though， it is team work that has pushed the Bundesliga forward. Bayern is the richest team in Germany， but the team helps its rivals (竞争者) when needed.
Through the country’s World Cup performances(赛事)， the German soccer tradition is doing better than ever. Germany can play on top of the world for a few years yet.What is the passage mainly about?

In the morning, we went camping along a path in Green Natural Park. We were happy because it was a sunny day. We were expecting an enjoyable two-day holiday. On the way, we kept singing and making jokes.
However, in the afternoon, when we finished our picnic at one o’clock, it was dark and windy. Soon, there was a shower. Unluckily, none of us brought an umbrella. We ran about but we could find no place to hide.
Twenty minutes passed and it was still raining, There were hours to go before we reached the campsite (野营地). It was even worse that our small compass (指南针) showed that we went to the wrong way. We had lost our way!
