　　Football

　　Football is, I suppose, the most popular game in England: one has only to go to one of the important matches to see this. Rich and poor, young and old, one can see them all there, shouting and cheering for one side or the other.

　　One of the most surprising things about football in England to a stranger is the great knowledge of the game which even the smallest boy seems to have. He can tell you the names of the players in most of the important teams. He has photographs of them and knows the results of a large number of matches. He will tell you, with a great air of authority, who he expects will win such and such a match, and his opinion is usually as valuable as that of men three or four times his age.

　　Most schools in England take football seriously – much more seriously than nearly all European schools, where lessons are all-important(至关重要的), and games are left for private arrangements. In England, it is believed that education is not only a matter of filling a boy’s mind with facts in a classroom; education also means character training. One of the best ways of training character is by means of games, especially team games, where the boy has to learn to work with others for his team, instead of working selfishly for himself alone. The school therefore arranges games and matches for its pupils. Football is a good team game, it is good exercise for the body, it needs skill and a quick brain, it is popular and it is cheap. As a result, it is the school’s favorite game in the winter.

　　Outside-the-classroom Learning Makes A Big Difference

　　Putting a bunch of college students in charge of a $300,000 Dance Marathon, fundraiser surely sounds a bit risky. When you consider the fact that the money is supposed to be given to. Children in need of medical care, you might call the idea crazy.

　　Most student leaders dont want to spend a large amount of time on something they care little about, said 22-year-old University of FloridA student Darren Heitner. He was the Dance Marathons operations officer for two years.

　　Yvonne Fangmeyer, director of the student organization office at the University of Wisconsin, conducted a survey in February of students involved in campus organizations.She said the desire for friendship was the most frequently cited reason for joining.

　　At large universities like Fangmeyer’s, which has more than 40,000 students, the students first of all want to find a way to "belong in their own comer of campus".

　　Katie Rowley, A Wisconsin senior, confirms the survey’s findings. "I wanted to make the campus feel smaller by joining an organization where I could not only get involved on campus but also find a group of friends."

　　All of this talk of friendship, however, does not mean that students arent thinking about their resumes. "I think that a lot of people do join to ‘fatten up their resume’," said Heitner. "at the beginning of my college career, I joined a few of these organizations, hoping to get a start in my leadership roles."
