1.Leisure plays an important part in British life. There are four main reasons for this.
First of all, people spend less time working now than they used to, mostly due to the introduction of new industrial technology. The normal British working week is Monday to Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., although some people regularly work a few hours' overtime each week. Secondly, all working people get a minimum of two weeks' paid holiday a year. In addition, there are six or more bank holidays a year when all banks and businesses are closed. In some cases the dates of these national holidays change from year to year and in different parts of Britain.
Another reason is that, thanks to modern medicine and higher living standards, people live longer now. This means that after retirement, people have quite a few years of leisure left.
Nowadays a much higher proportion of the population is over sixty, but in this group there are more women than men.
Finally, fewer babies are born each year and the average family in Britain has two children. This is one result of changing social attitudes. For example, many more married women now go out to work. The money they earn influences their leisure time. Even married women who do not go out to work have more time for interesting hobbies because most British homes have washing machines, vacuum cleaners and other labor-saving gadgets. 1.The best title of this passage can be ____.

2.Until recently the opportunities for criminal activities on the Internet have been low. However， the volume of business done on the Internet is growing rapidly，as people order books and other products and make money transactions. All this is creating temptations for hackers(黑客).
Hackers are often young people who are interested in computers. They use them to move quietly to the Internet，looking for ways to break into computers systems run by banks，telephone companies and even Government departments. They look for examples of credit cards and try to steal the numbers.
Hackers rarely admit to a successful break-in. The first indication of a hacking may be when a customer discovers a wrong money transaction on a credit card account. It is harder to check on somebody misusing an online connection unless there is a massive down load of information which would call the attention
of the consumer.

3.At the International Snow Sculpture Championships in Colorado on January 27, people will carve the white stuff into art. Planning begins months before the first snow falls. Teams submit applications and sketches of their sculptures in July. Then, a panel of judges chooses 14 teams for the championship. The rules are simple: Electric tools are not allowed. Teams carve snow with everything but the results are not entirely in the sculptors' hands. \the competition's director of public relations, explained, \will erect old sails from sailboats into the air to block the sun from melting the sculptures,\have to work extra hard to scrape (刮掉) the new snow off their work.
The judges look for creativity, technical skill, and overall impact on the viewer. The winner does not receive any money “There is no cash prize because the event began with the concept of global camaraderie (情谊),” DeWall explained. Instead of focusing on money, she continued, “winners revel (纵情) in the friendship, the art, and the hard work.”
