5 A. Ask three questions about boxing.

B. Read the text and see if there are answers to your questions in it.

Do We Need Such Sports?

Many people think that athletes should stop boxing. They don't like this sport and say it is more like fighting, not sport. In the history of boxing people tried to put an end to this sport. Just think what they could feel during the first boxing fights which took place in ancient Greece. Some of the rules were very much the same as today but sportsmen didn't wear boxing gloves.

Then for a long time people didn't do boxing. Only at the beginning of the 18th century this sport appeared again in England and became quite fashionable. In those days fights took hours and were dangerous as boxers fought until one of the athletes couldn't move.

There was a lot of protest ['prəʊtest] and by and by they began to change the rules: the rounds on the ring became shorter and there appeared intervals ['ɪntəvəlz] between rounds. In the 19th century there was little boxing outside England and the USA. In the 20th century boxing became a sport of many countries again. But nowadays scientists are beginning to think that even modern boxing may be dangerous for human brain.
