Mike Ingrarn had been a guard the Ohio State football team in the late 1950s.I believe he may have been captain in his senior year.He is a tough - looking guy,a hero in Columbus,a brave fighter in a red—and—gray uniform.
One holiday season Jack and I had been at the F&R Lazarus department store downtown, and we saw,carrying a tall pile of boxes,someone who clearly was working in the Lazarus stockroom(仓库).It was, Mike Ingram,post—Ohio state football player.
We stared—how could we help it? And Mike Ingram stopped in his track,looked right back at us,and said,with bite in his tone:“Yeah,it's me.”Meaning:Go ahead and stare if you must.
Couldn’t really blame him.There was nothing wrong with what he was doing——be was earning some money in the stockroom.But he was out in the world now, he wasn't where he had been when everything was bathed in sunlight;he was in Ohio Stadium,hearing the supporting shouts from 78,000 people who loved him and his teammates.He had moved past that trust of life’s roles,as everyone does.It was his misfortune to have,been famous very early;there must have been dozens and dozens of men in their twenties working in the Lazarus stockroom that holiday season,but Mike Ingram was the one sure to attract cnrious passers,because he was no longer who he was supposed to be.

All over the world people enjoy sports. Sports help to keep people healthy, happy and help them to live longer.
Sports change with the season. People play different games in winter and summer.
Games and sports often grow out of people’s work and everyday activities. The Arab use horses or camels in much of their daily life; they use them in their sports, too.
Some sports are so interesting that people everywhere go in for them. Football, for example, has spread around the world. Swimming is popular in all countries near the sea or in those with many rivers.
Some sports or games go back thousands of years, like running or jumping. Chinese boxing, for example , has a very long history. But basketball and volleyball are rather new. Neither one is a hundred years old yet. People are inventing new sports or games all the time.
People from different countries may not be able to understand each other, but after a game they often become good friends. Sports help to train a person’s character(性格品质).
