A reader from Manchester writes:
Dear Julie,
My question is ----What is Britain’s favourite sport? My dad says it’s football but I think he’s wrong. I think it’s tennis. Who is right?
It’s not an easy question t o answer. Do you mean favourite sport for people to play ( participant sport)or for people to watch( spectator sport)? The difference is important.
Every year, four million people in Britain go fishing but every week, fifteen million watch football on TV.
I telephoned the Sports Council in London and asked them the question.
“It’s difficult to say which spectator sport is Britain’s favourite. There is football, of course, but the Tnnis Championships at Wimbledon are very popular, too and don’t forget the Olympic cricket and horse-racing.”
So I can’t really answer the question about spectator sports.
But the question about favourite participant sport is easy. The answer is surprising. It isn’t football or tennis or any games with a ball. To give you a clue, it begins with “w”, it’s cheap , there ‘s no special equipment and everybody in Britain does it. The answer is walking. And the second favourite? Swimming.
1.What is the story talking about?
2.Is the question from Manchester to Julie?
3.How many people in Britain watch football on TV every week?
4.Where are the Tennis Championships held?
5.What’s Britain’s favourite participant sport?

What is an e–reader? An e–reader is a small computer. It can hold thousands of e–books. So people want to throw away heavy schoolbags and read with small, light e–readers. For example, a US high school has put its paper books away. Teachers and students are using e–readers now. “It’s so convenient. You can have so many books right at your fingertips.” said Meghan Chenausky,16. Chinese schoolchildren are also trying e–readers. Hanvon WISEreader is the most popular e–reader in China. It weighs about 260g and is as big as a regular textbook. It is a special e–reader. Students can make notes on it. They can use it to download textbooks from school computers. It can also send and receive homework. New e–readers are not just for reading. They have WI-FI(无线网络) and multimedia(多媒体).Parents think these may hurt children’s study habits. “I think WI-FI is not necessary for kids.” says Zeng Wenwen,43, Beijing. |
