Passage One
Tourism is one of the largest industries in the UK--worth approximately $127.9 billion. It employs more than 1.5 million people (7 percent of all employment) in hotels, restaurants, pubs, travel agencies, museums etc.
Mass tourism in England began in the second halt’ of the nineteenth century, during the Victorian Period. Seaside holidays were particularly popular.
About twenty-five million people now visit England every year. They come from all over the world. Nearly all of them start in London, and some never go out of that great city.
People visit England for many reasons. Some return to discover their family roots, having originated from here. Others come to see the wide variety of historical buildings or to sample the heritage and traditions that we have so much of.
England has much to offer, wonderful and very different countryside from region to region and also a wide variety of culture. It is also often used as a stepping stone to the rest of Europe as we are so close and travel is easy.
There are the beautiful university cities of Oxford and Cambridge, the wonderful Dorset coast, and the Lake District, Stonehenge and Windsor Castle.
Passage Two
LONDON Friday March 15 (Reuters Health)--Despite the public perception that cyberspace is a shallow and sometimes hostile environment, lovers who meet through Internet chat rooms may actually end up forming strong relationships, a researcher reported Friday at the British Psychological Society meeting in Blackpool.
Once potential partners meet face-to-face, the relationship may thrive because they feel they already know each other well through their online encounters, said Dr Jeffrey Gavin, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Bath.
Contrary to expectations, most chat mom users don’t totally mislead online partners about their looks and shape. Instead, they just tell a few white lies about their height, or the color of their hair, he said.
"Chat rooms don’t lead to shallow and impersonal relationships," Gavin told Reuters Health. "They lead to really close relationships because people express themselves more freely and are more open and honest on the Internet.
Gavin came to this conclusion after carrying out in-depth interviews with 42 regular chat mom users ranging in age from 19 to26.
"What tends to happen is that, when they meet, it’s a fairly smooth transition from online to off-line because they know each other so well," said Gavin.
The latest study suggests cyberspace may have some considerable benefits in helping new relationships form.
The interviews showed people routinely lied about themselves online, but in most cases riley were minor misrepresentations rather than outright fabrication. Interestingly, this little bit of dishonesty seemed to encourage chat room users to then be more emotionally explicit and intimate.
"They still seem to comply to the social norms around the body," Gavin explained. "So the guys tend to make themselves sound blond and blue-eyed, while the women add a bit of blond to their hair. It’s me 12 of them told outfight lies but the rest just exaggerated slightly."
Gavin said of the 42 volunteers he studied, 29 reported close friendships or romantic relationships with people they met online, with 21 progressing to face-to-face meetings.
"This was more than I expected and these tended to settle into regular relationships. One couple even became engaged to be married," he noted.
