Each year there is an increasing number of cars on roads and streets as millions of new cars and trucks are produced. One out of every six Americans works at putting together the parts of cars, driving trucks, building roads or filling cars and trucks with gas. 1.

Most Americans would find it hard to imagine what life would look like without cars. 2. . The polluted air becomes poisonous and dangerous to health.

3. . That’s what several of the large car factories have been trying to do. But to build a clean car is easier said than done. Progress in this field has been slow.

Another way is to take the place of the car engine by something else. 4. . Many makers believe that it will take years to develop a practical model that pleases man.

To prevent the world from being polluted by cars, we’ll have to make some changes in the way many of us live. Americans, for example, have to cut down on the number of their total cars. They are encouraged to travel and go to work by bicycle. Bicycling is thought to help the air clean. But this change does not come easily. A large number of workers may find themselves without jobs if a car factory closes down. 5. .

Although cars have led us to a better life, they have also brought us new problems.

A.Inventors are now working on steam cars as well as electric cars

B. Americans know cars very well.

C. However, some have realized the serious problems of the air pollution that is caused by cars.

D. One way to get rid of the polluted air is to build a car that does not pollute.

E. However, the number of vehicles has continued to increase in recent years.

F. Americans won’t live without cars!

G. Thus the problem of air pollution would become less important than that of unemployment.

Cheerleading is the fastest growing girls' sport,yet more than half of Americans do not believe it is a sport.Actually,competitive cheerleading is a sport.

A sport is a “physical activity against/with an opponent,governed by rules and conditions under which a winner is declared,and the primary purpose of the competition is a comparison of the relative skills of the participants."Because cheerleading follows these guidelines,it is a sport.

Competitive cheerleading includes lots of physical activities.Like gymnasts,cheerleaders must learn to tumble (翻滚) .They perform lifts and tosses.This is where the "flied' are thrown in the air,held by "bases" in different positions that require strength and cooperation with other teammates.

Just as basketball and football have guidelines for competitive play,so does competitive cheerleading.The whole routine has to be completed in less than 3 minutes and 15 seconds and the cheerleaders are required to stay within a certain area.

Competitive cheerleaders' goal is to be the best.Just like gymnasts,they are awarded points for difficulty,creativity and sharpness.The more difficult a mount,the sharper the motions,the better the score.Cheerleading is a team sport so without cooperation,first place is out of reach.

Cheerleading is the number-one cause of serious sports injuries to women.Emergency room visits for cheerleading are five times the number of those for any other sport,partially because they do not wear protective gear.While many athletes are equipped with hip pads or helmets,smiling cheerleaders are tossed into the air and spiral down into the arms of trusted teammates.The fliersmust remain tight at all times so that their bases can catch them safely.Also,because cheerleading is not yet recognized as a sport by many schools,neither proper matting nor high enough ceilings are provided to ensure safety.Instead,the girls use whatever space is available.More recognition of competitive cheerleading as a sport would decrease the number of injuries.

So why do many Americans not think cheerleading is a sport?Some people argue that cheerleaders are just "flirts in skirts" with their only job to entertain the crowd,but cheerleaders today work just as hard as other athletes.

Hopefully,cheerleading will become as well-known a sport as football and basketball,and even appear in the Olympics since cheerleaders are just as athletic and physically fit as those involved in the more accepted sports.
