But while people 【B4】 appear to be healthier and wealthier, an analysis of 【B5】 activities suggests they are also lazier. 【B6】 the most popular pastime is watching television, with 98 percent of homes having 【B7】 one set and over a third having a video recorder.
Other pastimes 【B8】 listening to music, gardening, sports, visiting friends or going out for a meal. The 56.8 million people of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland 【B9】 an 【B10】 12 million household pets.
Most of the homes now have central heating, washing machines, refrigerators, telephones and even cars.
Britain are also 【B11】 . United Kingdom residents took over 17 【B12】 holidays overseas in 1986, 【B13】 15.75 million in 1985, and the most popular destinations were 【B14】 --Spain, France and Greece.

Over the past 25 years, consumption of 【B17】 coffee, processed foods, fruit and vegetables has risen 【B18】 home consumption of beef, lamb, bread , potatoes , butter, sugar and tea has 【B19】 .
Alcohol consumption is continuing its rise but the types of drinks taken has changed. Beer remains the most popular, but lager(淡啤酒)now 【B20】 more than half of beer sales and there has been a switch from whisky to other spirits.
And those of us who survive and prosper can expect to live to the age of 71 for men and 77 for women--a year longer than in 1985.
