阅读材料：Are you a couch potato
Centuries ago，people didn't have much free time，because everybody was working too hard．In Britain in the nineteenth century，people had more spare time，but because the Victorians hated relaxing and doing nothing，they invented football，rugby（橄榄球）and cricket（板球）．People took up more gentle activities too，like gardening，bird-watching and train spotting，and it was even possible simply to watch a sport and give the impression that you were actually doing something．Gradually（逐渐地），leisure activities have become less and less demanding，or less energetic（有力的）interests and hobbies．But now there is a new type of person who thinks that lying on the sofa watching television on Sunday afternoon or reading the newspaper from cover to cover is the most exciting activity they can manage．This is the twentieth century couch potato．For them，every activity is too much trouble，and laziness is an art form！So how do you spend your free time？
