　　聽力擴(kuò)展：

　　A: You look kind of unhappy. Do you want to talk about anything?

　　B: It seems like I can’t write a good paper for this teacher. It feels like he hates me or something.

　　A: I’m sure it isn’t that serious. Is this your first year taking English writing classes? Maybe you just have a lot to learn from this teacher.

　　B: Yeah, that may be, but then why does he only show me my errors and never say anything about what I might have done right? It seems kind of unfair, and a little unkind.

　　A: I could see why you think that. Just don’t give up.

　　B: I suppose you might be right, but I think he should be a little less critical.

　　A：你看起來(lái)有點(diǎn)不高興。有什么要說(shuō)的嗎?

　　B：看起來(lái)我寫不出一篇讓這老師滿意的文章，我覺得他不喜歡我。

　　A：肯定沒那么嚴(yán)重。你這是第一年上英文寫作課吧?也許你得多跟老師學(xué)學(xué)。

　　B：也許吧，但他為什么只指出我的錯(cuò)誤，卻從來(lái)不說(shuō)我文章好的方面呢?這好像有點(diǎn)太不公平了，而且也太不近人情了。

　　A：我理解。千萬(wàn)別放棄。

　　B：也許你是對(duì)的。不過(guò)我覺得他不應(yīng)該這么挑剔.

　　B: My pleasure! You never know how polite British people are in public places. Whatever they go to buy tickets or food, they all like to queue up! They comply so much with public order.

　　A：西方文化和東方文化到底有什么不同?你能舉些例子嗎?

　　B：愿意效勞。你絕對(duì)想不到英國(guó)人在公共場(chǎng)合多么有禮貌!他們無(wú)論是去買票還是買食物，都自覺排隊(duì)，非常遵守公共秩序�！咀ⅰ縞omply with 服從，遵從
