题目内容
根据上文内容判断正(T)误(F)。
The word "sport" first meant something that people did in their free time. Later it often meant hunting
(捕猎) wild animals and birds.
About a hundred years ago the word was first used 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 because they want to. A few people are paid for the sport they play. These people are called
professional sportsmen. They may be sportsmen for only a few years, but during that time the best one can
earn a lot of money.
For example, a professional footballer in England earns more than $3000 a year. The starts earn a lot
more. International golf and tennis champions (网球锦标赛) can make more than $50000 in a year. Of
course, only a few sportsmen can earn as much money as that. It is only possible in sports for individuals
(个人的) like golf, tennis and motor-racing. Perhaps the most surprising thing about sportsmen and money
is that: the star can earn more money from advertising than from sport. An advertising for sports equipment
(设备) does not simply say "Buy our thing". It says "Buy the same shirt and shoes as …". Famous sportsmen
can even advertise things like watches and food. They allow the companies to use their name or a photo of
them and they are paid for this. Sport is no longer just something for people's spare time.
