Unit 2　 Sports culture 1 话题导入·思维激活 本文就体育运动的发展演变和专业运动员职业情况以及他们的收入作了介绍。 The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time.Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds.About a hundred years ago the word was first used for organized games.This is the usual meaning of the word today.People spend a lot of their spare time playing football，basketball，tennis and many other sports.Such people play because they want to.A few people are paid for the sport they play.These people are called professional sportsmen.They may be sportsmen for only a few years，but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money. 话题导入·思维激活 1 话题导入·思维激活 1 话题导入·思维激活 For example，a professional footballer in England earns more than ￡3，000 a year.The stars can earn a lot more.International golf and tennis champions can make more than ￡50，000 in a year.Of course，only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that.It is only possible in sports for individuals ，like golf，tennis and motor racing.Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this：the stars can earn more money from advertising than from sports.An advertisement for sports equipment doesn't simply say “Buy our things.” It says “Buy the same shirt and shoes as ...” Famous sportsmen can even advertise things like watches and food.They allow the companies to use their names or photographs and they are paid for this.Sports are no longer just something for people's spare time. 1 话题导入·思维激活 【词汇积累】 1．professional adj.　　职业化的；专职的 2．champion n. 冠军 3．individual n. 个人；个体 4．motor racing 赛车 1 话题导入·思维激活 本部分内容讲解结束 按ESC键退出全屏播放 1 话题导入·思维激活 $$
