People Are Crazy About Sports
by Stan Bruer

Why do people love to watch sports? Professor Len Sanders of Georgetown University


asks this question in his study on, "People and Sports." "We can understand why
people like to play sports. It's good exercise and a lot of fun," says Professor
Sanders. "But why do millions of people pay so much money to watch other people
play?"
Sports is good business. A winning team can make millions of dollars. A
goodathlete or player can make a very large salary. For example, at the Wimbledon
Tennis Championships, the winner can make more than $2.9 million.
Derrick Rose is a basketball player for the Chicago Bulls. He makes one of the highest
salaries in basketball. He earns about sixteen million dollars every year.
Sports fans, the people who watch sports, often pay a lot of money for ticketsto a
game. The MetLife Stadium in New Jersey can hold 82,566 people.
Fans get very excited when their team wins. Professor Sanders now has the answer to
his question: "People love the excitement of a good game."

MIDTERM
Exercise Is Important 
by Glenda French

Working people say, "I'm too busy. I don't have time to exercise." In school, students say, "Not sports
class again!" But this is really bad!

In his study, Professor Bill Green of New York University says, "People are always very busy. Most
people do not exercise. But they need to exercise three or more times a week. Exercise is very
important."

Some people enjoy team sports, like soccer or basketball. Some play tennis with friends. Others like to
exercise alone. They may run or go swimming. "Just do something!" says Professor Green.

Goodbye, then. I'm going to go swimming!
