But the question about favorite participant sports 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, and everybody in Britain does it. The answer is walking. And the second favorite? Swimming. Yours, Manchester 24. How many people in Britain watch football on TV every week? A.

Jones made films about dolphins and they saved the lives of millions of dolphins. Jones made films in the late 1970s. At first, he just liked swimming with wild dolphins, but he knew little about them. So he started learning about dolphins. Then he left his work and protected dolphins and other animals in the sea. When he found many dolphins died because of overfishing (过度捕捞) , he made a film about fishing and killing dolphins. Many people saw it and spoke out against overfishing. Finally, many fishermen had to cut back on dolphin fishing. “Then that I found how powerful a man with a camera could be,” Jones said. Besides, people caught dolphins for dolphin shows. In the wild, dolphins swim up to 100 miles a day and they have many friends. So they are never happy in a tank (水池) with just a few dolphins. Actually many wild dolphins die soon after being caught. So before Jones died, he tried to save the dolphins. 27. Why did Jones make a film about fishing and killing dolphins? A. To protect the wild animals on the land. B.

My dad says it’s football but I think it’s tennis. Who’s right? Do people like participant sport (参与性运动) or spectator sport (观赏性运动) ? The difference is important. Every year, four million people in Britain go fishing but every week, fifteen million watch football on TV. I asked the Sports Council the question. “We can’t say which sport is Britain’s favorite.

But the question about favorite participant sports 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, and everybody in Britain does it. The answer is walking. And the second favorite? Swimming. Yours, Manchester 24. How many people in Britain watch football on TV every week? A.

Jones made films about dolphins and they saved the lives of millions of dolphins. Jones made films in the late 1970s. At first, he just liked swimming with wild dolphins, but he knew little about them. So he started learning about dolphins. Then he left his work and protected dolphins and other animals in the sea. When he found many dolphins died because of overfishing (过度捕捞) , he made a film about fishing and killing dolphins. Many people saw it and spoke out against overfishing. Finally, many fishermen had to cut back on dolphin fishing. “Then that I found how powerful a man with a camera could be,” Jones said. Besides, people caught dolphins for dolphin shows. In the wild, dolphins swim up to 100 miles a day and they have many friends. So they are never happy in a tank (水池) with just a few dolphins. Actually many wild dolphins die soon after being caught. So before Jones died, he tried to save the dolphins. 27. Why did Jones make a film about fishing and killing dolphins? A. To protect the wild animals on the land. B.
