British sports;英国体育;The history ;Sports;Bu these activities are not just recent inventions. Going to a public house for a glass of ale(麦芽酒), working the land or going to watch a ball game were familiar activities in Shakespeare’s time（莎士比亚时代）. In the past, Britain was a mainly agricultural society, but also a very religious society and the influence of the Christian Church（基督教会） on people’s lives was very great. One obvious example is how Sunday---the day of the week when everyone traditionally went to Church---is still the day that most people have off in the UK. In the recent years the government has changed the laws and now some shops and pubs are allowed to open on Sundays, but such changes are very recent and very controversial（有争论的）. ; Popular sports in Britain;;;现代足球;Football ;;目前，英国的联赛有:;FA Premier League;The FA and the FA Cup ;;;;网球 ;Wimbledon Championships;Tennis;;;;;板球运动Cricket ;Cricket was one of the first team sports in Britain to have organized rules and to be played according to the same rules nationally.
