Amateur athletes not receive money for competing in sports Olympic athletes, for example, are amateurs They not receive money Professional athletes, on the other hand, earn money Some professional athletes earn a million dollars ($1,000,000) or more a year Professional athletes need money to support themselves Professional sports give great athletes the opportunity to play sports to earn their living They earn enough money to support themselves and save money for their future We, the spectators, have the opportunity to watch wonderful performances by our favorite athletes for the price of an admission ticket There is a bad side to professional sports, however Sports are supposed to encourage good character and "sportsmanship." In other words, sports are supposed to make a contribution to society Professional sports and professional athletes not always this, however In fact, sometimes they cause very serious problems for society In 1985 and 1986, the newspapers and magazines in the United States were full of articles about professional baseball and basketball players They were using illegal drugs A lot of young people looked up to professional athletes as heroes When athletes use drugs, they set a bad example for young people In addition, there is sometimes an atmosphere of violence in professional sports In other words, spectators may get into fights and hurt each other at a professional sports event For example, on May 29, 1985, a terrible tragedy occurred at Heizel Stadium in Brussels before the European Cup Finals An English soccer team was playing an Italian soccer team for the European championship The English fans started a fight with the Italian fans One of the stadium walls collapsed More than 50 people were killed Why did this happen? What caused this terrible violence? We still not completely understand the answers to these questions Professional sports are more like businesses than sports for pleasure Everything is money, money, money Teams have to win a lot of games to keep their fans happy, or the fans won't come to their games Then, the team can't earn enough money to pay its expenses This causes a lot of pressures on the players They have to win, win, win Winning becomes more important than anything else In sports, there is an old saying: "It is not important if you win or lose; what is important is the way you play the game." In professional sports, this saying is not true Winning is the most important thing in professional sports Discussion Questions : Discuss these questions in small groups l Are you a sports fan? What is your favorite sport and what is your favorite team? Why you like this team? Win or lose, you like your team? Explain Some athletes have trouble with drugs Do you know about an athlete who had a drug problem? Who was this person? What sport did she or he play? Reading : PEOPLE AND PLACES IN SPORTS As we said before, sports are popular everywhere in the world Most people know about their country's most famous athletes and teams Some athletes are world famous People all around the world know these athletes PELE Soccer (football) is the most popular team sport in the world When we think of soccer, we must think of Pele, the world's greatest soccer player Pele was born in Brazil in 1940 His real name is Edson Arantes Nascimento, but nobody calls him by this name Everywhere in the world, he is "Pele." Pele grew up with soccer His father was a soccer player At the age of ten, Pele stopped going to school, and he began to play soccer seriously At the age of 15, he was playing for a professional soccer team in Santos, Brazil When Pele was only 18, he became famous throughout the world He led Brazil to the World Cup championship in 1958 Pele developed his own special playing techniques He was able to score goals against every team Pele and his Brazilian team won several more world championships Pele played for his Santos team until his retirement in 1974 He had a record of more than 1,200 goals in his professional career In 1975, Pele came out of retirement to play for the New York Cosmos of the North American Soccer League The Cosmos paid Pele $7 million dollars to play for their team for three years Pele again set a new world record when he became the highest paid athlete in the world! SAN PEDRO DE MACORIS San Pedro de Macoris? What's that? If you are a serious baseball fan, you know the answer San Pedro de Macoris is a town in the Dominican Republic, and it has produced more professional baseball players than any other city or town in the world San Pedro de Macoris has a population of 80,000 The town is in the area of the Dominican Republic that produces sugar cane What the boys in San Pedro de Macoris every day? They play baseball for at least five hours a day from Monday through Friday The sugar cane companies in San Pedro de Macoris hire baseball instructors to teach the boys how to play baseball More than 10,000 boys play baseball in San Pedro de Macoris All of these boys have one dream: they want to become professional baseball players in the United States We can see how important San Pedro de Macoris is by looking at professional baseball in the United States In the United States, there are two levels of professional baseball-the major leagues and the minor leagues The major leagues are the highest level for the top baseball players, and the minor leagues are the second level In 1985, there were 14 major league and more than 250 minor league players from San Pedro de Macoris! Boys in San Pedro de Macoris watch their heroes playing professional baseball in the United States They think, "Someday I'll be there too!" KORBUT AND COMANECI In the 1970s, gymnastics became one of the most exciting sports in the world People were able to see the sport so clearly on television They could see the great technical skill, grace, and beauty of the performers and the performance for the first time Olga Korbut of the Soviet Union was the first great female gymnast of the 1970s Girls all over the world loved Olga Korbut They dreamed of being like her Millions of people around the world admired her performances Partly because of Olga Korbut, gymnastics soon became one of the most popular sports in the world Olga Korbut was extremely popular around the world, but she was never an Olympic champion The champion of the Olympic gymnastics was Nadia Comaneci from Romania In 1976 at the Montreal Olympic Games, Nadia Comaneci became the overall Olympic Champion at the age of 14 Nadia was European gymnastics champion three times before she retired in 1984 Nadia Comaneci had a tremendous effect on the hopes and dreams of young girls around the world Remember, women did not participate in the early Olympic Games They didn't watch the early Games as spectators Think how thrilling it was in 1976 to see a young girl-only 14 years old-win the Olympic championship in Montreal! Nadia Comaneci's message was clear: You not have to be the biggest to be the best And more important, Nadia Comaneci sent a powerful message to girls around the world: Girls can be champions, too! Discussion Questions: Discuss these questions in small groups What athlete you admire most? What sport does this person play, and why you admire her or him? Do you think it is important for people to have sports heroes to look up to? not? What can people learn from athletes? Why or why This passage says that Nadia Comaneci had a great effect on millions of girls around the world She showed them that girls could win, too Who has had a strong influence on you? Who encouraged you to something difficult? Who was this person, and what did you learn from this person? What effect you think television has on sports? What are the advantages of watching a sports event on television? QUOTATIONS : Read these quotations and explain what they mean "I always believe in my heart that through sport one day all the people will be together Through the political way we can never come together I always felt that if I were on the political side I could never get the same treatment in Russia or Red China or in Japan or South America But as I was involved in soccer I had the open door -everyplace." Pele "Football today is far too much a sport for the few who can play it well; the rest of us, and too many of our children, get our exercise from climbing up the steps in stadiums, or from walking across the room to turn on our television sets And this is true for one sport after another." John F Kennedy "I not think that winning is the most important thing I think that winning is the only thing." Bill Veeck, Chicago White Sox President Topics for Discussion : My favourite kind of music The Olympics are (not) important Sports and music are (not) a waste of time 101 Unit 40: WHY DON'T YOU ACCEPT US? Wing and jay have a all relationship that they must keep secret Read the story and find out: Why can't they tell anyone? Let me tell you about Wing He 's the funniest person I know-he can always make me laugh, even when I feel blue He works hard at his job, and all his co-workers think he's great He's interested in movies and tennis and politics, just like me He's the perfect partner-only I cant tell anyone Wing and I are a couple -a homosexual, or gay, couple We've been together for almost six years That's a lot longer than some marriages last We try to spend as much time together as we can, but because we are gay, there is always a problem When we go to parties, I cant introduce Wing as my partner I have to say, "This is a friend of mine." We never go to the same restaurant more than once or twice together because people might notice us We can't live together, as other couples No one wants to live near a homosexual couple I cant even tell my family about Wing My parents don't know that I'm gay They think there is something wrong with homosexuals, that we're not "normal." So my mother is always asking me, "When are you going to find a nice girl and get married?" I wish I could tell her that I've already found the right person for me But my parents would never speak to me again They would worry so much about what their friends would think of their homosexual son I know in some countries, like the United States, this is not such a big problem But it is here I wonder why society isn't more understanding Why can't people accept us? It's not fair There is nothing wrong with Wing or with me We are just like everyone else We don't have a disease that other people might catch We are normal, ordinary people who would like to be treated with respect Wing and I don't want any special treatment We don't want to change the world We just want to be together without hiding all the time What's wrong with that? 102 WHAT DO YOU THINK? Should people like Wing and Jay be able to live openly as a homosexual couple? Check your opinion Sure Gay people have the same right I don't know I just don't think as everyone else to find a partner and society is ready to accept gay be happy I say no It makes me really I say yes If more gay couples uncomfortable to be around lived openly, it would be easier people who are homosexuals for society to accept them Now exchange your ideas with a classmate LOOKING AT THE ISSUE • What are some reasons for society to accept gay couples? Homosexuals deserve to have partners and be happy • What are some reasons for society not to accept gay couples? Many people think homosexuality is wrong 103 Unit 41: FINDERS & KEEPERS David always thought that he was an honest person But something happened to him to make him wonder Read the story and find out: What happened? Suddenly it was raining money Money was falling from the sky and beginning to cover the ground like green snow David thought he was dreaming He saw $100 bills everywhere All he had to was reach out and take a handful He did He did it again And again Soon he had more $100 bills than he could hold David saw an empty paper bag on the ground He filled it up with more $100 bills He looked up and saw, on the bridge over his head, an overturned truck The truck had smashed into another truck The accident was so bad that all of the money the truck was carrying spilled into the road The wind was blowing hard, so the bills were floating all over David saw people running from everywhere They were shouting to each other to hurry up They were gathering money and putting it in purses and bags He had never seen people working so quickly David then heard the sirens and saw the flashing lights on the police cars as they raced to the accident on the bridge He left quickly When he got home, David counted the money he had picked up-almost $25,000 He had never seen so much money And it was his! It belonged to him! Or did it? David began to think about that Did it really belong to him? If it wasn't his, then whose money was it? Well, thought David, it might belong to the bank It was the banks truck that crashed, and the money came from that truck But the money was just floating around He had not robbed a bank or stolen the money from somebody What he had done was different And nobody knew him Nobody could say that he had picked up the money And then David thought of all of those other people who were picking up the money, just like he had done But David was worried He wondered if he should return the money 104 WHAT DO YOU THINK? Should David keep the money or return it? Check your opinion He should keep it I think the bank had Of course he should return it It's not insurance on the money, so nobody actually his money It's actually stealing, and lost any money So why not keep it? stealing is wrong! He has to return it He should keep it Nobody Otherwise he will feel guilty will know He was lucky! Maybe he should return half of the money, just in case somebody saw him there Now exchange your ideas with a classmate LOOKING AT THE ISSUE If you found cash on the street, would you take it to the police? Or does it depend on the amount? I would take the cash to the police if it were or more, but I would keep it if it were less than that I would take it to the police whatever amount it was What would you in the following situations? Would you be honest? Or would you be "silent"? I'd be "silent." I'd be honest 105 Your paycheck is suddenly $1,000 more than usual The clerk at a supermarket gives you change for a $100 bill, but it was actually a $50 bill The waiter in a restaurant forgets to add $20 to your check for the bottle of wine you ordered Your friend gives you $100 and says, "Thank you for lending me the money the other day " But you don t remember lending any money One morning you find $1,000 cash in an envelope in your mailbox Nothing is written on the envelope Unit 42: A MOTHER'S STORY Have you ever wished that another person were dead? This mother did Read the story and find out: Why did she want a man to die? My heart jumped with joy when he was dead I knew then, when the electricity was sent into that man's body, that I would finally have peace Am I a monster? Am I thirsty for blood? Do I get excited when people are killed? No, no, no! I am not a monster I am a mother whose 18-year-old son was killed during a robbery Before Wang was killed, I had not thought much about capital punishment Maybe I thought it was wrong After all, killing someone who has killed someone else really doesn't help much The other person is still dead, and killing the murderer just adds to the violence But that all changed when my only son was killed It happened five years ago Wang was working at a grocery store He had just finished high school and was going to go to a good university in a month He was working to earn money to help pay for his education Two men entered the store They told my son to take all the money from the cash registers and put it in a bag He did this Then they ordered Wang t open the safe Wang told them that he did not have the key One of the men had a gun and threatened to shoot Wang My son pleaded with 106 him and told him that only the owner had the key The gunman then shot him five times in the face and heart My son died instantly Both robbers were captured The one who shot my son was sentenced to death in the electric chair I asked to see him die I wanted to be there I needed to be there My son's death had to be repaid So I watched when they strapped him in I saw him begging for his life Good, I thought, beg all you can You must die for what you did I think about capital punishment often now Killing is wrong But if you kill, you should pay with your own life It's the only way we can stop all the violence WHAT DO YOU THINK? Which opinions you agree with? Check as many as you want If you kill someone, you have to die, too People who kill are crazy, insane No That is your punishment The only excep- one in his right mind would kill another tion to capital punishment is self-defense person That's why I think murderers should be put in mental hospitals Capital punishment is wrong Capital punishment is necessary We should never kill anyone, It helps prevent murder no matter how terrible the crime Life in prison is the right sentence for a murderer Now exchange your ideas with a classmate 107 LOOKING AT THE ISSUE In which situations you think it is OK to use the death penalty? Criminal A kidnapped and killed a young child Criminal B set fire to a house, and the fire killed three people and injured many others Criminal C broke into a house, killed the two residents, and stole their money Criminal D went into a school yard and fired a machine gun, killing many schoolchildren Criminal E set a bomb to explode in an office building, killing many people Criminal F raped and killed several women Criminal G had her husband killed so that she would receive a large sum of insurance money The death penalty should never be used in any situation 108 Unit 43: Focus What is an "arranged marriage"?

The atmosphere that day was quite intense because our families were watching us, so Ranjit suggested we go out for a drink on our own Ranjit: I liked Sarita I found her attractive, but there wasn't that spark you get if you see someone you fancy at a party It was more mental attraction How did you decide on each other? Sarita: We met up three more times over the two weeks before I returned to America by then I'd decided that Ranjit was right for me Ranjit: There was pressure from my family after the very first meeting I'd seen three 109 girls before Sarita, but she was the first I was interested in So I said yes after those first three meetings Do you love each other now? Sarita: Yes we I couldn't pinpoint an exact time when love began, but it was about two years into the relationship Ranjit: Love came into our relationship after a while I didn't wake up one morning and think, "I love this woman."
