READING COMPREHENSION I. Read the text and do the task that follows. Read the passage carefully and choose the correct answer. Recreation is the use of time in a manner designed for refreshment of one's body or mind. In our modem time, people have to work hard to earn a living with a lot of hard work, so the need for recreation has grown. The weekend is typically a time for recreation, perhaps because the Sunday is "the day of rest." Holiday is also a common time for recreation. Traditionally, music and dance serve as recreation in many cultures. Playing sports, hobbies, games and tourism are popular forms of recreation. Watching TV and listening to music are also common. In recent years, more exciting forms of recreation have received more public attention, such as skiing, snowboarding, skydiving, hang-gliding, rock climbing, backpacking, and ad- venture tourism. Some recreational activities are made illegal such as gambling and drug use. Research has shown that recreation contributes to life satisfaction, quality of life, health and wellness, and that the use of recreation as a diversion may have clinical applications to individuals with chronic pain and other health impairments. In some cultures and religions, recreation is encouraged on certain days. Recreation is essential to the longevity of human beings. It is roughly the opposite of stress. Today, stress is the number one killer in the United States according to Time magazine. 1.
