II Read the passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
A surprising number of popular spectator sports, for example football and baseball, started in Europe or in the USA in the 19th century This did not happen by chance It was the result of changes in the way people lived in those places at that time Until then more people lived in the country than in towns They worked in small groups and had no
regular time off All this changed with the growth of factories and industry in the 19th
century, first in Europe and then in the USA For the first time most people began to live
in towns, and they found themselves with regular spare time They had more leisure time than ever before This resulted in the need for the organized entertainment Suitable
games were invented, typically team games, in which the crowded could become
involved This gave people some of the entertainment they need in their free time It is the introduction of satellite and cable channels on TV that has caused an increase in demand for sports as entertainment The television companies have brought to games such as football, tennis, and baseball, which means that spectator sports will certainly go
on playing an important part in our lives
