Leisure and Private Life in England
英国的个人休闲生活
在英国，工厂的假日都集中在七月中旬到八月中旬这段时间。英国人喜欢旅游，你知道他们一般到什么地方旅游，又是怎么去旅游的吗?
In England，factory holidays are much concentrated in the period between mid- July and mid-August．State schools usually only have six weeks off in summer，from about mid-July to the end of August．
The coast is the most popular objective of English people for their annual holiday，but there are few new seaside hotels．Food in British hotels and restaurants is reasonably cheap, but rooms are not．Few English people rent houses or flats for their holidays，but one of the traditional ways of spending a summer holiday is in a boarding house．Some boarding-house keepers provide all meals for their guests．Others provide breakfast only．
The British may be conservative about the times at which they take their holidays，but they have shown themselves very ready to take to new places．They have always been pioneers in traveling far away, and Englishmen were among the first to climb many of the great Alpine summits．Now foreign travel is within reach of most working people，and each year more English men，women and children become familiar with some part of continental Europe．Many take their cars，often with tents，crossing the Channel by ferry；others use the travel agents’ plans for group travel. When they get home again，they talk endlessly of how they spent their leisure and private life．

Soil conservation(保护)efforts protect soil from wind and water that can blow or wash it away．[1]_________ One important form of soil conservation is the use of windbreaks．Windbreaks stop the wind from blowing soil away．They also keep the wind from destroying or damaging crops．Windbreaks are barriers formed by trees and other plants with many leaves．[2]_________ Windbreaks are effective when a wall of trees and other plants blocks the wind．The windbreaks should also limit violent motions of the wind to those areas closest to the windbreak．
[3]_________ If the wall of trees and plants stops wind completely, then violent air motions will take place close to the ground．These motions cause the soil to lift up into the air where it will be blown away．[4]_________ An easy rule to remember is that windbreaks can protect areas up to ten times the height of the tallest trees in the windbreak．There should be at least two lines in each windbreak．One line should be large trees．The second line, right next to it, can be formed from shorter trees and other plants with leaves．Windbreaks not only protect land and crops from the wind．They can also provide wood products．[5]_________
a．Windbreaks seem to work best when they allow a little wind to pass through．
b．Good soil produces food crops for both humans and animals．
c．For the long term, trees will be planted throughout the area to act as windbreaks which will provide adequate protection．
d．Farmers plant windbreaks in lines around their fields．They are very important when grains such as wheat are grown．
e．Plantations are also sometimes known as “man made forests” or “tree farms”．Environmental Plantations may be established for watershed or soil protection．These are established for erosion control, landslide stabilization and windbreaks reduce carbon di oxide and increase oxygen levels in atmosphere．
f．These include wood for fuel and longer pieces for making fences．Locally grown trees and plants are best for windbreaks．
g．For this reason, a windbreak is best if it has only 60 to 80 per cent of the trees and plants needed to make a solid line．
