Almost all Americans are involved with sports in some way.They may play baseball or volleyball or go swimming or skiing.They may watch football or basketball on the high school,college,or professional level.Sports may seem like an innocent pleasure,but it is important to look under the surface.In reality,sports have reached a point where they play too large a role in daily life.They take up too much media time,play too large a role in the raising of children,and give too much power and prestige(声望) to athletes.The overemphasis(过度强调) on sports can be seen most obviously in the vast media coverage of athlete events.It seems as if every race,meet,or match is shown on one television channel or another.In addition,sports make up about 30 percent of local news.Radio offers a full list of games and a wide variety of sports shows.Furthermore,many daily papers such as US Today are devoting more and more space to sports coverage.The way we raise and educate our children also illustrates our sports craziness.As early as six or seven,kids are placed in little leagues,often to play under screaming coaches and pressuring ter,in high school,students who are singled out by the school and the community are not those who are the best academically but those who are the best athletically.And college sometimes seems tobe more about sports than about learning.The United States may be the only country in the world where people often think of their colleges as teams first and schools second.Our sports craziness is especially evident in the prestige given to athletes in the United States.For one thing,we reward them with enormous salaries.In 1990,for example,baseball players averaged 350,000 a year;the average annual salary in the United States is 18,000.Besides their huge salaries,athletes receive awe,admiration,and sometimes the votes of the public.Why are Americans so mad about sports?Perhaps we like to see the competitiveness we experience in our daily lives acted out on playing fields.答案精析Ⅰ.语篇解读本文描述了4个不同国家的中国城对于中国传统节日春节的各种庆祝方式,向我们介绍了这几个国家的不同特色的中国城。
