the

American

people

a

wide

variety

of

programs

from

early morning until late at night. Operas, orchestral performances,

chamber

music

and

jazz

concerts

are

most

of the leisure at home is used for watching television. Many Americans

are so fond of their TV programs that they often have cold luncheon in

deeper

understanding

of

history,

art,

music,

literature,

the

ballet,

the

theater,

the

discoveries

of

modern

science

and

the

wonders

of

the

universe.

Television

viewers

pay

no

tax

or

charges

for

receiving

programs

on

their

sets.

The

cost

of

the

programs

is

paid

chiefly

by

those

who

are

given

the

opportunity to advertise their goods or services during the commercial

breaks.

篇：

篮球

Interest in basketball in the United States peaks around three big

championship

events

in

the

spring:

the

college

championships

for

men

and

women in late March or early April and the professional playoffs that

climax in June.

But

that’s

only

organized

basketball.

Informally,

the

game

ha

s

been

learned by generations of American youths on city playgrounds and

schoolyards, on lonely

baskets

put up

in backyards

of rural homes

and on

the

driveway

basketball

courts

of

countless

suburban

homes.

Here,

playing

on

teams,

going

one- on-one

against

a

single

opponent

or

just

shooting

the

ball hour after hour alone, some of the finest basketball players have

developed their skills to incredible levels.

But

as

brilliant

as

some

players

may

be,

basketball

requires

coaching

to teach athletes skills they are deficient in and to blend a group of

individuals into a team. Styles of coaching vary. Some coaches favor an

extremely

disciplined

game

with

each

player

having

a

specific

role

while

others are more inclined

to let their

players dictate the

style of play.
