Ⅳ.阅读理解

The word “sport” first meant something that people did in their free time.Later it often meant hunting wild animals and birds.About a hundred years ago the word was first ud for organized games. This is the usual meaning of the word today. People spend a lot of their spare time playing football, basketball, tennis and many other sports.Such people play becau they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. The people ar
e called professional (职业化的) sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best ones can earn a lot of money.
For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than ￡3,000 a year. The stars can earn a lot more. International golf (高尔夫球) and tennis champions (冠军) can make more than ￡50,000 in a year. Of cour, only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that.It is only possible in sports for individuals (个人), like golf, tennis and motor racing (赛车). Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money is this: the stars can earn more money from advertising (做广告)than from sports.As an advertiment for sports equipment doesn't simply say “Buy our things.” It says “Buy the same shirt and shoes as ...” Famous sportsmen can even adverti things like watches and food.They allow the companies to u their names or a photograph of them and they are paid for this. Sports are no longer just something for people's spare time.
