Passage 1 [br]
Higher education is more than a vocational or technical training. The essential purpose of it has never been about "usefulness" in a narrow sense of acquiring a specific, practical tool so as to make oneself marketable. In the words of my late college professor of philosophy, the purpose of higher education is for students to become broadly acquainted with cultural traditions and deeply appreciate them, so that it may help us become responsible citizens and good people in general.
It is also about love—learning what one loves for the love of learning. Hence, it is "gloriously useless. " As for me, there was no way of knowing which major or degree was going to be "useful. " And since then, everything around me is constantly changing. I have long forgotten the details of what I absorbed in classrooms and libraries. I did, however, learn how to think for myself, and that is invaluable in the workplace and outside of it.
The United States is a sports-loving nation. Sports in America take a variety of forms; Organized competitive struggles, which draw huge crowds to cheer their favorite team to victory; athletic games, played for recreation anywhere sufficient space is found; and hunting and fishing. Most sports are seasonal, so that what is happening in sports depends upon the time of year. Some sports are called spectator sports, as the number of spectators greatly exceeds the number playing in the game.
Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall. Football is the most popular sport in the fall. The game originated as a college sport more than 75 years ago. It is still played by almost every college and university in the country. Basketball is a winter sport, very popular with high schools and colleges. Of course, wrestling, boxing, and horse racing are among other spectator sports in the United States.
选项
答案
美国是喜爱运动的民族。在美国,运动有各种各样的形式,有组织的竞争性搏斗吸引着众多人群去为他们最喜欢的球队的胜利而喝彩,为了消遣只要能找到足够的场地就举行竞技比赛运动;此外,还有狩猎和捕鱼。大多数的体育项目是季节性的。因此,要根据一年中季节的不同决定举行什么样的运动。一些运动被称作观赏运动,因为观众的人数远远超过了玩游戏的人数。
在美国,棒球是最受欢迎的运动。整个春夏两季人们都在打棒球,职业棒球队则一直打到秋天。秋天,橄榄球是最受欢迎的运动。这项运动起源于75年以前的大学生体育项目。在这个国家几乎每一所大学和学院现在仍在踢橄榄球。篮球是一项冬季运动,深受大中学生的欢迎。当然,其他观赏运动如摔跤、拳击、赛马等,也深受美国民众的欢迎。
