Fred is a sports fan(迷). He likes all kinds of sports games. He never plays football, but he knows
much about it. When there is a football game on TV, he watches it. Sometimes he does not go to school.
    One day, there are two games on TV. One is at 8:00 in the morning, and the other begins at two in the
afternoon. Fred decides to stay at home for the whole day.
    At 7:30, Fred's mother comes to Fred. She sees him still in bed.
    "Is there anything wrong with you?"she asks.
    "I am not feeling well,"Fred answers.
    "Shall I take you to the doctor?" she asks.
    "No. Don't worry, Mum. I will be OK soon,"says Fred.
    "Then I'll go to work. My students are waiting for me,"she says, "If you really feel bad, do call me.
OK?"
     Fred's mother hurries out of the room. Now Fred gets out of his bed quickly.
     He turns on the TV and sits in front of it. How exciting (激动人心的) the game is! He forgets all about his lessons.
     To his surprise, his mother comes back for the key to her office.
     "Are you really ill?" she asks.
     "Well, er… I'm all right now. Sports is good medicine (药),"Fred says.
