Things to Know  學(xué)前必讀   

有人說(shuō)如果中國(guó)人是教育狂，那么美國(guó)人就是運(yùn)動(dòng)狂。美國(guó)整天都有全國(guó)性的運(yùn)動(dòng)比賽(national tournaments)，春天有籃球比賽，夏天有棒球賽，秋冬天有美式橄欖球賽，人們隨時(shí)可以親自到運(yùn)動(dòng)場(chǎng)(the sports arenas)和體育館(gymnasium)觀看比賽，或者通過(guò)電視、收音機(jī)、報(bào)紙得知各種比賽的消息。很多美國(guó)人是運(yùn)動(dòng)迷，最受歡迎的兩項(xiàng)運(yùn)動(dòng)是美式橄欖球(football)和棒球(baseball)。
