Hello,
everyone! Welcome to the Unit "Sports in America"! This
is He Minzhi again. This will be the last unit that I'm going to
help you with, but as the saying goes, "save the best for the
last". Yes, this is my favorite part and I'm sure it is also
what you've been looking forward to, if you like exercise, excitement,
competition, and above all, fun. Right, we're going to have some
fun, learning about the three most popular games in the United
States, their rules and how they are played, and some most famous
athletes and players-all with exciting pictures! Another good thing
about this unit is that you won't have the headache of coping with
too many intimidating new words. But of course, wouldn't it be cool
to learn some sports vocabulary, such as having a time out（暂停），dribble（带球），foul（犯规）.
Sounds fun? Ready to go? Wait a minute! Before you starting exploring
the exciting world of American sports, try to answer the following
questions, and see what you'll get if you get all of them correct!
Good luck and see you later!

racket or go jogging in the afternoon. Watch the live coverage of
World Cup or Olympic Games. Or, start with your unit and let it
