BASEBALL. It’s just a word, but for millions of Americans it brings much more than a word.
Hot dogs. Cold beers. Sunny afternoons. Baseball is the game of fathers and sons. Fathers and sons catch with each other on lawns (草坪) in the US. A father’s favorite team becomes his son’s. Grandfathers talk to their grandsons about games played long ago.
Many American kids collect baseball cards. The cards have pictures of their favorite players on them. In school, friends trade (交换) baseball cards just like they trade their lunches.
Players are known as “the boys of summer” because people often play the sport mostly in warm months. You don’t need to be of a certain size or shape to play baseball. You don’t have to be tall like a basketball player or strong like an American footballer. You just need to want to have fun.

Many people like watching TV. TV is of the most important activities of the day. TV brings the outside world to people’s homes. Some people say the world is smaller than because of TV. Perhaps they are right.
What’s going on in other countries? How people live in far-away places? there a good sports game somewhere？What’s life like in the deepest part of the sea?
If you want to out these and other kinds of questions, just turn on your TV. Turn it on and watch. You can see a lot and you can learn a lot. Of course people can also learn through reading or learning the radio. But they can learn better and more easily. Why? Because they can hear and watch, too.
