在城市社会中,结构紧密、节奏快捷、充满压力的工作笼罩着人们的生活,某种不同性质的经历,不管是看电视还是看鸟,都能导致自我更新和一种更加"平衡"的生活方式。
Since

动词不定式 " to
impartpositiveleisureattitudes to the general public" , 谓语是系表结构" is

leisure"。在主语从句中,主语是the people,"with whom we come into

contactwith" 是固定搭配表示"与… 相联系","与…接触"。 在本句中,介词 "with" 提前到whom 前面。谓语是are all likely to have exertedsome influence"很可能产生某些影响"
"shaping 后接三个并列宾语,即our attitudes, interests 和skills;

定语从句省去了与第二个定语从句相同的部分。
