Baseball is one of the favorite sports in the USA. Children play baseball in sports fields or parks.
At a summer picnic, there is often an informal baseball game. Boys and girls, young and old take turns to bat. There are nine players on each team.
The baseball season goes from April to September. During this time, baseball matches are showed on TV and members of the important baseball teams become America's heroes. At the end of the season, the two top teams play against each other. Many baseball fans go together to watch the game. Millions of others listen to the radio or watch the television. People seem to talk only about the game. Even long after it is over, they still talk about the result and the players.
American football is perhaps the most popular sport in the USA. The football season begins when the baseball season ends. More people are interested in football than baseball. When there is an important game, thousands of people sit beside radios or in front of television sets to get the result.

A man takes out his phone and starts talking for almost ten minutes! How will you feel? Maybe you'll feel uncomfortable, but you can do nothing about it.
This happens all the time, not only in a restaurant, but also on a bus, at a cinema, everywhere!
Cell phones are useful in our daily lives. But be careful not to be a noisy user and disturb others. You are supposed to control your own behavior. Here are a few rules.
Follow the rules! When you're in public places and see a sign that says "Turn off cell phones", don't use your phone. If you are allowed, speak softly for a short time and try to keep away from other people.
Phone off! Never make calls in a theater, when you are watching a movie or enjoying a concert.
Pay attention! Talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. And watch out where you're going when you're walking down the street and talking on the phone.
As more people use cell phones, things are going to get worse. So, the next time you're getting ready to make a call, stop and consider the people around you.

Stories and Art of Chinese Fans
You may think you cannot live through summer without air conditioners. But in ancient China, hand fans were almost the only ones to help people keep cool.
Chinese people started to use hand fans over 2,000 years ago. The fans came in different shapes, such as round and square. They were also made from all kinds of materials. Palm (棕榈树)leaf fans were cheap and easy to make. Feather fans (羽毛扇)showed the owner's high status. Sandalwood (檀香木)fans could send out a sweet smell.
Later, hand fans became far more than just something that could cool you down. They developed into art works, in which tuanshan ( round fans) and zheshan ( folded fans ) were the most common.
In the shape of a full moon, tuanshan was usually made of silk. They had beautiful birds and flowers on them. Women especially those in the imperial palace (皇宫), liked to use them. Meanwhile, men, especially the literati (文人学士) , used zheshan. The literati liked them because zheshan were usually made of paper and they could paint and write poems on them. It was a way for them to show off their ability in literature, painting and handwriting. Almost anything can he painted on zheshan.
Today, Chinese people still use these fans, only not many people write or paint on them any more. Next time when you are waving a fan, you may think of the stories behind it.
