Tokyo is one of those places that you can love and hate at the same time. In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast, but in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different from London, Paris and New York in that. It is different when one wants to walk. Which is NOT true according to the passage A. People in London, Paris and New York also spend a lot of time in traffic jams. B. Tokyo is a friendly and surprising city. C. In a Tokyo train most people read newspapers.
At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London’s Oxford Street. But the streets near the Ginze in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite, there are just too many of them.
B. The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35,000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.
C. During the day, most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there do not seem to be enough trains. Although they are usually crowded, Japanese trains are very good. They always leave and arrive on time. On a London train you would see everybody reading a newspaper. In Tokyo trains everybody in a seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short.
D. In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire-engines (消防车) raced past on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now.

When the snow came down in Shanghai just after Christmas, the students in my school went out to play. For many of them it was a day of firsts: the first snow they had seen, the first opportunity for snowball fights and the first chance at trying to build a snowman. But it was a modest (不太大的) snowfall and a couple of days later it was all just a happy memory. In Canada, where I come from, when the snow arrives, it stays. In parts of Canada you can expect the first snowfall in November and there is a good chance that snow will still be on the ground in March. With such a long winter, Canadians have found ways to enjoy the cold and the snow and, at this time of year when China is preparing for Spring Festival, Canadian cities are preparing for their winter carnivals (狂欢节). Most cities have them but the biggest and the most famous is the Quebec Winter Carnival which, this year, is celebrating its 50th anniversary. From January 28 to February 13 the people of Quebec City and tens of thousands of tourists from across Canada and the United States will experience the joys of winter by taking part in sleigh (雪橇) rides, ice fishing contests and snow sculpting (雕刻) competitions. How do Canadians spend their long winter
