As a melting pot, the United States is an international center of culture. It is in its major cities (like New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, etc.) that many concerts, art exhibitions, and theatrical performances of World-renown are found. On a smaller scale, the same is true of Smaller cities. Performances and exhibitions are still very well-attended even though the prices of tickets are rather high.B. Though art and high performance forms are important in the United States, it’s the television, movies, and recorded music that are the most popular sources of entertainment. With cable TV, many more programs are available. However, some people feel that the emphasis on violence, sex, and money in some movies may mislead children and teenagers in their views on goals and values. But despite these criticisms, many internationally successful movies produced in the United States are watched nightly by millions of people both in the United States and around the world.C. Besides movies and music, it’s sports that are enjoyed by most Americans – they either play sports themselves or watch their favorite sports and teams. Major professional sports events – baseball, football, basketball, and hockey, as well as golf and tennis – are attended by tens of thousands of fans and by millions more on TV. Boys and girls play on sports teams in school and after school.D. Americans love to travel. Weekend and summer automobile trips are a tradition for many families. Car travel is the most common leisure activity. Airplane travel is also common in the United States. At holiday time, many Americans fly to other cities to visit their friends and relatives. During the winter, many people take short vacations to places with warm climates, like Florida and the islands of the Caribbean.a) Match a subtitle with each paragraph.1. Paragraph A: a. Travel2.
