章節(jié)摘錄

　　With the development of science and technology and the consequent im-provement of work efficiency, people generally have more time and money topursue various kinds of recreational activities. Yet, owing to some factors, many traditional leisure activities are out of style, and the number of newforms of entertainment is on the rise. Now people in the world have differentopinions about leisure activities and hold different attitudes towards them. The following passage will give you some information about what is happen-ing to leisure activities in the UK.　　Leisure activities in earlier centuries were largely conditioned by the rural and agricultural nature of British life. Village communities wereisolated and transport was either poor or nonexistent. People wereconsequently restricted to their villages and obliged to create their ownentertainments. Some of the activities were home-based, while otherswere enjoyed by the whole village. These might be added to by itin-erant players, who travelled the countryside and provided a range ofalternative spectator entertainments.　　Improved transportation and road conditions from the eigh-teenth century onwards enabled the rural population to travel to neigh-bouring towns where they took advantage of a variety of amusements.Spectator activities increased with the industnalization of the nineteenthcentury, as theatre, the music halls and sports developed and becameavailable to more people. The establishment of railway systems and theformation of bus companies initiated the pattern of cheap one-day tripsaround the country and to the seaside, which were to grow into themass charter and package tours of contemporary Britain. The arrival ofradio, films and television in the twentieth century resulted in a furtherhuge professional entertainments industry. In all these changes, themixture of participatory, spectator and home-based leisure activities hascontinued.　　　Many contemporary pursuits have their roots in the culturaland social behaviour of the past, such as boxing, wrestling, cricket,football, and a wide range of athletic sports. Dancing, amateur theatreand musical events were essential parts of rural life, and were oftenassociated with the changing agricultural seasons. The traditions ofhunting, shooting and fishing have long been practised in British country life, in addition to a number of blood sports, such as dog and cock fighting and bear baiting, which are now illegal.
