Passage 1With the steady increase in the amount of leisure time that people enjoy today, the importance of businesses that deal with leisure products and services is also steadily increasing. Among them, tourist industry is one of the biggest industries of this kind. Providing transportation and acmodations for tourists — and guides, brochures, souvenirs — is one of the major industries in many countries. Since people are now having longer vacations and are more and more interested in seeing other parts of the world, this business will no doubt continue to grow. Another industry obviously devoted to leisure is entertainment. Movies, TV shows, concerts and plays are usually intended for our leisure. The same can be said of most books, except textbooks. Professional sports make money because people pay to watch them in their free time. This list could be greatly extended. But even among these industries, we have mentioned only part of the picture.

This season, however, 20 percent of NBA rosters (花名冊) will be filled by nonAmericans. NBA missioner David Stern happily embraces the trend. On a visit to Paris in October, Stern outlined his vision for the future, which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010.The NBA is now planning to take China by storm.“Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth,” said Stern. The strategy in China is TV. “We’ve made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite.” The success Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China. The NBA, which is broadcasted in more than 200 countries in 42 languages, will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two preseason games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing market to pensate for tough times on home soil.“It doesn’t matter where the players e from, all the NBA teams now know that they have to scout (尋找) internationally,” said Terry Lyons, the NBA’s vicepresident of international public relations. “It has increased the level of petition here.” As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season, many people can earn the respect of their America peers. Others, such as Houston Rockets’ Chinese centre Yao Ming— draft pick in 2002—and the Detroit Pistons’ 18yearold Serb Darko Milicic—number two overall in this year’s draft—are icons (偶像) in waiting. It is the ultimate (根本的) revolution—the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball.11. According to the report, _________________________.A.
