Attitudes to leisure have been much influenced by the modern love of moving around and by the ease of travel. The British enjoy the family outing. Most people choose well-known beauty spots, or seaside beaches. Others choose a lonely place, where there are very few people. They may follow tracks between the mountains and lochs and watch seals and seabirds. Food in British hotels and restaurants is reasonably cheap, but hotel rooms are not. The English people rent house or flats for their holidays, but one of the traditional ways of spending a summer holiday is in a boarding house. A house like this may have a card in its window advertising bed and breakfast. In seaside towns there are whole streets of houses, almost every one of which has such notice in window. In recent years several new holiday habits have developed. Among them; the most interesting one is the growth of the so-called holiday camps. They consist usually of great numbers of small, and often quite comfortable, suburban houses, together with central dining halls, dancing halls and swimming pools. Camping holidays with tents are not so well developed in England as in France. The summer weather too often can be very unpleasant for tent-dwellers. Why do English people rent house or flats for their holidays

To us, it seems so natural to put up an umbrella to keep the water off when it rains. But actually the umbrella was not invented as protection against rain. Its first use was as a shade against the sun. Nobody knows who first invented it, but the umbrella was used in very ancient times. Probably the first to use it were the Chinese, way back in the 1th century B.C. We know that the umbrella was used in ancient Egypt and Babylon as a sunshade. And there was a strange thing connected with its use: it became a symbol of honor and authority. In the Far East, in ancient times, the umbrella was allowed to be used only by royalty or by those in high office. In Europe, the Greeks were the first to use the umbrella as a sunshade. And the umbrella was in common use in ancient Greece. But it is believed that the first persons in Europe to use the umbrella as protection against the rain were the ancient Romans. During the Middle Ages, the use of the umbrella practically disappeared. Then it appeared again in Italy in the late sixteenth century. And again it was considered a symbol of power and authority. By 1680, the umbrella appeared in France, and later on in England. By the eighteenth century, the umbrella was used against rain throughout most of Europe. Umbrellas have not changed much in style during all this time, though they have become much lighter in weight. It was not until the twentieth century that women’ s umbrella began to be made, in a whole variety of colors. A strange feature of the umbrella’s use is that it was used as ______.

The air surrounding us is important to everyone. Without air, we could not exist. Everyone understands that. But air is necessary in many other ways — ways that are not always so obvious or widely known. If we did not have air, there would be no sound. Sound travels through air. Where there is no air, there is no sound. Without air there would be no fire. There would be no automobiles, since motors need air in order to operate. Without air, there would be no wind or clouds. The night time would be very cold and the days very hot. We would be forced to seek shelter from the sun, as there would be no atmosphere to protect us from the sun’s deadly rays. In this huge ocean of air surrounding the earth, there is more energy than in all the coal, oil and gas we have on the earth. Electrical energy is collected in the atmosphere as water is collected and stored in a dam (大坝). The existence of electricity in the air has been known for centuries. Men have gazed in wonder at the bright patterns of lightening in storm clouds. But thorough (彻底的，深入的) study of electricity in the air was not possible until the development of radio. Without air protection, the sun’s rays ______.
