Europeans play football, and Americans play football, but surprisingly they do not play the same game. American football is played by men (and occasionally women) wearing helmets and protective clothing; the ball is oval. European football is played with a round ball, by people wearing just socks, shorts, a shin, and football boots. Americans have another popular outdoor game too—baseball, a classic American game that is only played seriously in North America. In Britain, a few people play an "ancestor" of baseball, called "rounders"—but it is not a popular sport. In today's "global village", lifestyles are becoming international. Often the American model has spread to other countries of the world. American sports, however, have not spread all over the world, as American films and American fashions have. On the contrary, European sports have been more successful internationally. Indeed European football is slowly developing in the USA. In motor racing too, though it is not really a team sport, the USA is different. In Europe. South America, Japan and other countries (including Canada), "motor racing" means "Formula 1": Americans have IndyCar racing. The Indianapolis 500 is like a Formula 1 race, but different. Several famous Formula 1 drivers—including Nigel Mansell and Jacques Villeneuve—have won the race. On the other hand, no American IndyCar drivers have ever been Formula 1 champions. Nevertheless, Americans are beginning to discover Formula 1 racing since the first American Grand Prix. Besides these big sports, America of course has basketball—perhaps the most successful "export". Invented at Springfield college, Massachusetts, in 1891, basketball in quite certainly an "American game". Although it is not as big in Europe as in the USA, basketball has become much more popular in other countries than any other American team sport. Why is America different? The answer is simple. Until the 1960's, team sports were not played on a global scale. The only real "global" sports were individual sports, such as golf and tennis. A hundred years ago, individual rich Americans could travel to Europe on holiday, and play these two games. But whole teams of sportsmen did not often travel around the world, it was too expensive and slow!【缺少答案,请补充】
World Mental Health (WM1) Day, on 10 October, is a day to raise awareness of the effects mental illness has on millions of people's lives across the world, and to help educate and inform us all. Around the world, one in four people will have some mental illness during their lifetime. Around 450 million people are living with a mental health problem right now, making it one of the biggest health issues in the world. Yet people rarely talk about any mental health problems they have because it is humiliating. WMH Day was first celebrated in 1992 to raise awareness of just how common mental health issues are, fight against stigma (污名) and campaign for better conditions and treatment for people who have a mental health problem. The number of people and organizations involved in celebrating WMH Day has grown and grown, and now many countries, such as Australia, even have a Mental Health Week. Each year there is a different theme. For example, in 2017 the theme was mental health in the workplace. WMH Day encourages us to be more aware of both our own mental health and other people's. As well as looking after yourself, think about how you could support other people. For example, you could find out more about common issues such as anxiety and depression, so you will understand friends' and colleagues' problems better. You could also encourage your workplace to start a wellness program that would benefit everyone. Companies with wellness programs have found employees take 28 percent less time off for sickness. Comment 1: Spending less time online is a huge factor to reduce anxiety and depression. Also avoiding negativity could help a lot. Comment 2: Celebrating the day is just the first step. Daily education matters. Comment 3: This could involves chatting on social media, hearing music and browsing new ideas, attending new events and so on. Comment 4: It's very difficult to persuade a person that he/she has some mental problem. It's easier for them to reject all the offers of their relatives to see a doctor than to admit they have been ill. Comment 5: This topic is necessary and important to discuss. Many people suffer from mental illness and it is vital to talk about it every day rather than on a special day.【缺少答案,请补充】
