Visitors exploring one of Britain’s many historic buildings might expect to see beautiful objects and learn more about history. What they won’t expect is to meet one of the former residents, and to be able to talk to them about their life and times. But, don’t worry. Although many old buildings are said to be frequently visited by ghosts (幽灵), these people are not ghosts at all.
All across Britain historic sites will be brought to life by real people. They will be dressed in period costumes (clothes wore in an earlier time in history) and will recreate life as it was once lived at different times during Britain’s history. Activities like these are called "living history", and have become increasingly popular in recent years.
An organization named English Heritage, which maintains historic buildings and sites across England, will organize over 500 living history s, ranging from reenactment (再次展现) of battles to traditional story-telling for children.
The people who dress up in costumes and take part in these s come from all kinds of background. Some are trained actors, while others do it as a hobby. What they all have in common, however, is that they don’t simply "act". Instead, they learn about every aspect of period they are bringing to life—everything from the way people behaved to the way they spoke.
English Heritage will do all the following EXCEPT ______.
