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 (交換) 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.
Baseball is not as fast-paced (快節(jié)奏的) a game as basketball. But when you go to see a game, there’s time to relax, talk and get to know other people.
Baseball may not be the most popular sport in the US, but it is the most traditional. It’s not just a game any more, but an important part of American culture, like apple pie and grandma’s house.
【小題1】Many American kids like to collect _______________.

A.baseballsB.baseball cardsC.lunchesD.a(chǎn)pple pies

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,完成下列表格。(每空一詞)

     Have you ever wondered what an American high school is real like? This article will describe a typical (典型的)high school and its students.

     A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about 1,500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather loan (租借)than buy them. Students must pay back if they lost any of them.

     American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years of age, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing rages in the class and also pass their state driver’s exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.

     Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take science, math, English and social studies. They can choose art, homemaking, fashion design and other classes. In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes: heath education, physical education or foreign language studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classed, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.

     The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students are involved in after-school activities. These activities include sports—especially football. Basketball, baseball or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.

閱讀短文,根據(jù)要求完成下面各小題。

Michael went back to Fullerton, his home town. His visit to Fullerton was very special to him. He was born there, he grew up there. But he hadn’t been back there since he finished high school.

He went to places he hadn’t gone to in years. He walked through the park and remembered the days he had walked through that same park with his friend. He passed by the field where he and his friends had played baseball every day after school. And he stood in front of the movie theater and thought about all the Saturday afternoons he had spent there, watching his favorite movie heroes and eating popcorn.

He did things he hadn’t done in a long time. He had some home-made ice cream at the ice cream shop. He rode on the merry-go-round in the park, and he went fishing at the lake. For a little while, he felt like a kid again.

He saw people he hadn’t seen in years. He visited several of his old neighbors. He said hello to the owners of the candy store near his house. And he also went to see Mrs. Riley, his tenth-grade science teacher.

Michael’s trip back to Fullerton was a very nostalgic (懷舊的) experience for him. Going back to Fullerton brought back many memories of days gone by.
