Yesterday morning Gretel went to the
City of London. She wanted to see
St.
Paul's
Cathedral.
She
was
surprised
to
see
so
many
Englishmen
who
looked
alike. They were all
wearing dark suits and bowler hats. They were all
carrying
umbrellas
and
newspapers.
When
she

gentleman
still exist?
Mr.
Clark
laughed.
never
thought
about
it,
he
answered.
It's
true that many of the men who work in
the City of London still wear bowler
hate
and
I
suppose
they
are
typical
Englishmen.
But
look
at
this.
Mr.
Clark
picked up a magazine and pointed at a
photo of a young man.

It seems as if there is no such thing as a
'typical'
Englishman.
Do

takes
all
kinds
to
make
a
world'?
That's true of all

One
Sea

the sea, w

【原文】
John is
British but has worked in Japan. Etsuko is
Japanese from Osaka,
but she is
studying in Britain. In the following passage you
are going to
hear,
they
are
comparing
life
as
they
see
it
in
the
two
countries.
But
before
listening to it, think of
the two countries and try to answer the following
pre-listening questions.
John:
I
found
that
living
in
Japan,
people
were
busier.
They
seem
to
work
the whole day.
Etsuko:
Yes, that’s right. We work from Monday through Saturday, even
in
summer.
You
know,
summer
in
Japan
is
just
horrible.
It’s
very,
very
humid
and hot, and you need to shower three
times a day.
John: So you find it
cooler in England?
Etsuko:
Yes, that’s right.
John:
Where
I
was
living
in
Japan,
in
the
North,
it
was
much
colder
than
England, especially in
winter, minus thirty degrees centigrade. Does the
winter in Osaka last longer than the
winter in England?
Etsuko:
No, I don’t think so. December, January, February, March.
John:
Yes. It’s a little bit shorter if anything.
Etsuko: Ever since I came here, I
noticed that the countryside here in
England is very beautiful.
John:
It’s much flatter than in Japan.
Etsuko: Yes. Japan is a
mountainous country and our cities are full of
people. There are lots of people in a
limited flat area.
John:
Yes,
I
found
Japan
much
more
mountainous
than
Britain,
especially
in
the north. The mountains are much higher and much
more rocky. I found it
more beautiful
than Britain, I think.
Etsuko: Yes, if
you like mountains.
John: And therefore
the towns and villages tend to be more crowded.
Etsuko:
Yes, that’s right.
John: Yes. So because the
cities are more crowded, the houses tend to
be smaller, don’t they?
Etsuko:
Yes, they are very compact, and we don’t hav
e a lot of space.
In big cities we have a lot of taller
buildings now.
John: Is this a problem
because there are more earthquakes in Japan?
Etsuko:
Yes, that’s right and…

don’t you have folk dances in the United States?

have special dances that
the people have done for many years. The
dancers
wear
clothes
from
the old days.
Everyone
likes to
watch
them
dance.
Steve:
We
have
folk
dances,
too.

people

dancing
groups.
But when
they dance, they usually do it just to enjoy
themselves.

ite other people to watch them.
Rosa: Is there a folk dancing group
here?
Steve:
I
think
so.
There
must
be.
There’s
one
in
almost
every
city,
and
some
big cities have
several.
Rosa: What are
the dances like?
Steve:
Usually eight people dance together, four men and
four women. When
they start, they form
a square, with a man and a woman on each side
of
the
square.
That’s
why
it’s
called
square
dancing.
Then
there’s
a man who tells the
dancers what they should do. He usually makes
it into a song. He sings it while they
dance.
Rosa: Oh, that
should make the dances easy!
Steve: Yes, but they are very fast.
They
don’t have much time to think.
I
like
to
watch
them,
though.
The
dancers
wear
old-fashioned
clothes.
That makes the dances
pretty to watch.
Rosa:
I’d like to watch a group dance.
Steve: I’ll take you
sometime.
