现在请你注意听. 等一会儿我们要根据文章问你几个问题.

Professional sports are very popular in the United States, and they are big business.

The most popular sports are baseball, football and basketball. Each has its own season, and millions of supporters. Professional teams are named for the cities where they are located. Their strongest supporters live in these cities. When a team plays in a championship game, most people in the city follow the game with interest and enthusiasm.

Basketball is well known around the world. Professional basketball games in the United States are played indoors during the winter months. From November to April one can find a professional basketball game several nights a week in most large American cities.

Baseball is an American sport. It has been called the national pass-time. The game is played in the evenings nearly everyday of the week and on weekends as well.

The season begins in April and finishes with the World series in October.

Football has become the most popular professional sport in the U.S. It is played on Sundays during the fall from August to January. American football is different from international football, which Americans call soccer. Both games require strength and specialized skills.

Professional athletes are very well paid. The most famous athletes make millions of dollars for their playing skill. America's best athletes have higher salaries than the country's president.
