10、life in this country.一个外国人对于美国的第一印象很有可能是每个人都在压力下匆忙忙忙。城市里的人总是表现得匆 忙忙忙不知疲乏的，为了尽快做完一件事情，他们会在店里舍命引起店员的留意或者用胳膊肘推揉别人。 白天匆忙就餐也是这个国家生活节奏的一个部分。Working time is considered precious.

But the cultures of the two countries sometimes seem to be miles apart.英国和法国被英吉利海峡阻隔，游泳穿越该海峡只要不到20分钟的时间。但这两个国家的文化有时 相差十万八千里。Last Thursday Britain and France celebrated the 1 OOlh anniversary （周年2

31、己念）of the signing of a friendship agreement called the Entente Cordiality.

32、 the past century. Just last year, there were fierce disagreements over the Iraq war-which British Prime Minister Tony Blair supported despite French President Jacques Chirac speaking out against it.

33、 French leader often greets German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder with a hug（拥 抱），Blair just receives a handshake. However, some political experts say the war in Iraq could in fact have helped ties.但他们的关系在上个世纪也经验了几番起落。仅去年，对伊拉克斗争问题进行了激烈的争辩-英国首 相布莱尔支持而法国总统希拉克反对。国际会议中，这种别扭在布莱尔和希拉克的身体语言中表现得很明 显。当法国领导人频频与德

34、国总理格哈特施罗德拥抱时，布莱尔只得到了握手。然而，有些政治专家说 正是伊拉克斗争促进了两国的关系。The history of divisions may well be because of the very different ways in which the two sides see the world. But this doesnt stop 12 million Britons taking holidays in France each year. However, only 3 million French come in the opposite direction.

35、Surveys （调查）show that most French people feel closer to the Germans than they do to the British. And the research carried out in Britain has found that only a third of the population believes the French can be trusted. Perhaps this bad feeling comes because the British dislike Frances close relation

36、ship with Germany, or because the French are not happy with Britains close links with the US.这种历来的分别或许是好的，因为这两个国家对世界的看法完全不同。但是这并没有阻隔1200万的 英国人每年到法国度假。而法国仅有300万的人民去英国度假。调查显示大多数法国人对德国人比对英国 人亲切。并且在英国进行的调查显示仅有1/3的英国人信任法国人。或许这种坏的感觉是因为英国人不宠 爱法国跟德国的密切关系，或者因为法国对英国和美国的密切关系感到不悦。Whatever the answer is, as both

37、 sides celebrate 100 years of doubtful friendship，they are at least able to make jokes about each other. Heres one: Whats the best thing about Britains relationship with France? The English Channel. （320 words）不论答案是什么，双方能在一起庆祝这种“不确定的友好关系” 100周年，至少证明他们会相互开玩 笑了。其中一条就是：英国与法国的关系的最好见证是什么？是英吉利海峡。11. For c
