啦啦隊(duì)
當(dāng)你觀看一所大學(xué)或高中的體育賽事時(shí)，你就會(huì)看到啦啦隊(duì)。啦啦隊(duì)員可以是男生也可以是女生，他們穿著與隊(duì)伍顏色一樣的衣服，在觀眾席前又蹦又跳，高喊自己隊(duì)伍的名字。他們的工作就是使觀眾興奮起來。
第一個(gè)啦啦隊(duì)員是男性。1898年，約翰尼坎貝爾在明尼蘇達(dá)大學(xué)觀看比賽時(shí)，跳到觀眾前面為自己的隊(duì)伍吶喊。他大叫：“Hoo-rah
Minn-e-so-tah！”這是第一個(gè)有組織的吶喊或歡呼。在后來的32年中啦啦隊(duì)員一直是男性。直到1930年，女性才開始成為啦啦隊(duì)員。
如今，啦啦隊(duì)組成團(tuán)隊(duì)，他們練習(xí)特殊的吶喊語、舞蹈和運(yùn)動(dòng)表演。女性經(jīng)常與男性分開表演，但是當(dāng)他們在一起表演時(shí)才是最激動(dòng)人心的。男性把女性拋到高空中然后再接住她們。啦啦隊(duì)員們一個(gè)踩著另一個(gè)人的肩膀疊成人造金字塔。他們還歡呼、跳舞。這就像是由人做成的煙火。
現(xiàn)在啦啦隊(duì)也有自己的比賽。每年都有地方的、州立的、全國的比賽。每個(gè)隊(duì)伍都拿出最新、最快、最令人激動(dòng)的表演爭取獲得第一。
Lesson52 Cheerleaders
When you go to a college or high school sports event， you see cheerleaders． Cheerleaders are male and female students dressed in the colours of their team． They jump and dance in front of the crowd and shout the name of their team． Their job is to excite the crowd．
The first cheerleader was a man． In 1898， Johnny Campbell jumped in front of the crowd at the University of Minnesota and shouted for his team． He shouted， “Hoo-rah Minn-e-so-tah!”
This was the first organized shout， or “yell．” For the next thirty-two years cheerleaders were men only． Women were not cheerleaders until 1930．
Today cheerleaders work in teams． They practice special shouts，dances，and athletic shows．Often the women work separately from the men．But cheerleaders are most exciting when men and women work together．The men throw the women high in the air and catch them． The team members climb on each other's shoulders to make a human pyramid． They yell and dance too． It is like human fireworks．
Cheerleaders now have their own contests． Every year there are local， state， and national contests for cheerleaders． The teams make new， faster， and more exciting shows to be the best．
