Are Sports Important?Sports are all around us.We watch and read sports news.There are also sports clubs,and even sports-only channels (频道) on TV.In many countries,players make millions of dollars every year.But why are sports so important?They’re only games,right?Our readers answer:Vlad (Ukraine乌克兰)Sports bring people together.In 2006,our team was able to play in the 2006 World Cup for the first time.Everyone was happy.Rich and poor,old and young,men and women—everyone was in the streets together!Mike (U.S.A.)Sports bring people together,but they divide them too.Fans of different teams fight all the time—they shout and hit each other.And here’s another example:My brother plays high school baseball.Last week,his team played an important game.At the game,two parents fought about a call.Come on … baseball is only a game!Sports are so competitive (有竞争力的) these days.It’s all about winning.Then the game isn’t fun.Oba (South Africa)Right now,some of the world’s best soccer players are from African countries,and the 2010 World Cup games will be held in South Africa.Yes,some players make a lot of money—maybe too much,but sporting events (like the World Cup) bring tourists to the countries where sporting events are held and money to the people in these countries.And that is good for Africa.

体育运动重要吗?体育随处可见,我们观看体育节目,阅读体育新闻,有许多运动俱乐部,电视上也有专属的体育频道.运动员每年收入数百万.但为什么体育运动如此重要?他们仅仅是游戏,不是么?我们的读者告诉了我们答案.维尔德（来自乌克兰）：体育让人们团结起来.2006年,乌克兰球队第一次参加世界杯.整个国家,不分男女老幼,无论贫富,每个人都为之高兴——大家都走上街道庆祝!麦克（来自美国）：体育虽使人们团结,也让人们反目.不同球队的粉丝长期敌对——粉丝之间冲突不断.再举一个例子,我弟弟参加了高中棒球队,上周他们球队有一场重要比赛,在比赛中,两个家长因为一句口号打架,拜托……这不过是场比赛!体育运动如今愈发有竞争力了,对胜利的过分关注使比赛失去原有的乐趣.奥巴（来自南非）：现在世界上许多优秀的足球运动员都来自非洲,而2010年的世界杯也将在南非举行.的确,一些运动员赚到了许多钱——也许数都数不清,但体育盛事（比如世界杯）给举办国带来大量游客,给当地人民带来财富.这对非洲来说是很有益的
