The Main Idea:()
A reporter who has visited plants throughout Europe has an impression that the pace of work is much slower here. Nobody tries too hard. Tea breaks do matter and are frequent. It is hard to measure intensity of work, but Britons give a distinct impression of going at their tasks in a more leisurely way.
But is all this so terrible? It certainly does not improve the gross national product or output per worker. Those observant visitors, however, have noticed something else about Britain. It is a pleasant place.
Street crowds in Stockholm. Paris and New York move quickly and silently heads down, all in a hurry. London crowds tend to walk at an easy pace (except in the profitable, efficient City, the financial district).
Every stranger is struck by the patient and orderly way in which Britons queue for a bus: if the saleswoman is slow and out of stock she will likely say, ‘oh dear, what a pity’; the rubbish collectors stop to chat (聊天) and call the housewives “Luv.” Crime rises here as in every city but there still remains a gentle tone and temper that is unmatched in Berlin, Milan or Detroit.
In short, what is wrong with Britain may also be what is right. Having reached a tolerable standard, Britons appear to be choosing leisure over goods.
第36题:What happens when disputes over job opportunities arise among British unions?
A) Thirty three per cent of the workers will be out of work.
B) More people will be employed than necessary.
C) More jobs will be created by the government.
D) The unions will try to increase productivity.
听力原文: The Europeans who left their homeland in the 18th and 19th centuries and settled their homes in North America are referred to as early settlers. Early settlers who came from the eastern parts of the present U.S.A. were used to having many trees around, so they found it rather hard to get used to living in a treeless plain like the state of Nebraska. When they first settled down in Nebraska, they needed large quantities of wood for building houses, making fires and doing many other things. Therefore they started many tree-planting plans that went on for years and years. Finally in 1872, a newspaperman named J. Sterling Morton had an idea: Why not have a special day set aside for planting trees. So Arbor Day was born on April 10th, 1872. The state government announced that it would give prizes to individuals and groups that planted the most trees. On that first day, more than 1,000,000 trees were planted in Nebraska. In this way Nebraska has been full of trees and it's green all the year around.

C.How the first Arbor Day came into being.
D.Who was J. Sterling Morton.
听力原文: One of the first things a visitor does upon arrival in another country is to get to know the local money. American money is unlike the money used in many other countries, since the bills, or paper money, are all the same color and size no matter how much it is. Visitors should be careful to look at the bill before giving it out. Besides, new bills often stick together.
The coins of every country are difficult to learn at first. American coins are represented by the cent sign. Also the size of American coins do not show the value. For example, the 10-cent coin is much smaller than the 5-cent coin, although it is worth twice as much. All United States coins are silver colored, except for the" penny" (one-cent piece), which is a brown coin. Here are more details about American coins.
Why are American bills or paper money unlike that in many other countries?
A.American bills are not the same color.
B.American bills are the same size and color.
C.American bills are the same color but different size.
