I. Background reading 1. American children’s rooms

In the USA, children usually have their own rooms. And their rooms are usually decorated with beautiful things. There are usually many toys.

Generally speaking, American children don’t like cleaning their rooms. So the children’s rooms are usually out of order. They throw their things all around in the room. When you enter an American child’s room, you may find the books and clothes on the floor. Even sometimes there are so many things on the floor that you find it hard to walk in their rooms.

When American children are ten years old, in some families, the parents don’t enter their children’s rooms freely.

2. Introduction to baseball

Baseball is the most popular sport in the US. It is played throughout the spring and summer, and professional baseball teams play well into the fall. And children play

baseball in sports fields or parks.

At summer picnic, there is often an informal baseball game. Boys and girls, the young and the old take turns to bat (击球). Each team has nine players.

The baseball season goes from April to September. During this time, baseball matches are shown on TV and members of the important baseball teams become America’s heroes. At the end of the season the two top teams play against each other. Many baseball fans go along to watch the game. Millions of others listen to the radio and watch television. People seem to talk only about the game. Even long after it is over, they will still talk about the result and players.

II. 文化小知识

英语国家和欧洲国家非常注重礼仪：和人讲话，要力求和谐，一般不可伤害对方，及时拒绝也要拒绝得彬彬有礼。因此Can you…? Could you…? Would you please…? 等句型在日常生活中很常用，它们常用于请求别人做什么的时候，can you…?显得不太正式，因此一般用于朋友或熟人之间。另外两个句型更为客气一些。如果用Could you…?来表达婉转的请求，回答时就不需要客气或婉转了，同意的话就用Of course/Yes, I can，而不说Yes, I could；如果不同意，也不要说得太白，要婉转的拒绝，可用I’m sorry, but I can’t./sorry, …来找个合适的理由，一般不说No, I can’t。
