（2）Are Sports Important?

22

Sports are all around us. We watch and read sports news. There are also sports clubs,

23

and even sports-only channels (频道) on TV. In many countries, players make millions of

24

dollars every year.

25

But why are sports so important? They’re only games, right?

26

Our readers answer:

27

Vlad (Ukraine乌克兰)Sports bring people together. In 2006, our team was able to play

in the 2006 World Cup for the first time. Everyone was happy. Rich and poor, old and young,

28

29

men and women—everyone was in the streets together!

30

Mike (U.S.A.) Sports bring people together, but they divide them too. Fans of different

31

teams fight all the time—they shout and hit each other. And here’s another example:

32

My brother plays high school baseball. Last week, his team played an important game. At

33

the game, two parents fought about a call. Come on … baseball is only a game! Sports

34

are so competitive (有竞争力的) these days.It’s all about winning. Then the game isn’t

35

fun.

36

Oba (South Africa) Right now, some of the world’s best soccer players are from African

37

countries, and the 2010 World Cup games will be held in South Africa. Yes, some players

38

make a lot of money—maybe too much, but sporting events (like the World Cup) bring

tourists to the countries where sporting events ar e held and money to the people in these 39

40

countries. And that is good for Africa.
