听力原文： Visitors to Britain may find the best place to approach local culture is in a traditional pub. The mysterious rituals of British pubs must be taken into consideration.
Most pubs have no waiters. You have to go to the bar to buy drinks. This may sound inconvenient, but there is a hidden purpose. Pub culture is designed to promote sociability in a society known for its reserve. Standing at the bar for service allows you to chat with others waiting to be served. The bar counter is possibly the only site in the British Isles in which conversation with strangers is considered entirely appropriate and really quite normal behavior.
"If you haven't been to a pub, you haven't been to Britain." This tip can be found in a booklet, Passport to the Pub: The Tourists' Guide to Pub Etiquette, a customers' code of conduct for those wanting to sample "a central part of British life and culture". The trouble is that if you do not follow the local rules, the experience may fall flat. For example, if you are in a big group, it is best if only one or two people go to buy the drinks. Nothing irritates the regular customers and the bar staff more than a gang of strangers blocking all access to the bar while they chat and hesitate about what to order.

听力原文： The China Internet network information center said this week the nation online community is expanding at a rapid pace, with 8.9 million users added in the first half of the year from January to June. China's Internet population hit 68 million by the end of June, the world's second largest figure after the United States. The figure was 10 million at the end of 2000 and 1.5 million in 1997. Cyber Space is a force to be reckoned with in China, says Qin Hualing, a senior Internet analyst at the Chinese academy in sciences. Netizens between the age of 18 and 30 are the driving force. They spend 13 hours every week surfing Internet on average. Their major purpose is obtaining information or having fun. At the same time, only 0.2 percent listed online shopping, e-business, and online learning as their main activity. As the number of China's Internet users grows, so does the junk mail. 8.3 emails out of 16 are junk mail on average.
China's internet users had reached ______ by the end of June.
This is the conclusion of the anthropologist Margaret Mead about the way in which the roles of men and women in society should be distinguished.
If talk and print are considered it would seem that the formal emancipation of women is far from complete. There is a flow of publications about the continuing domestic bondage of women and about the complicated system of defences which men have thrown up around their hitherto accepted advantages, taking sometimes the obvious form. of exclusion from types of occupation and sociable groupings, and sometimes the more subtle form. of automatic doubt of the seriousness of women' s pretensions to the level of intellect and resolution that men, it is supposed, bring to the business of running the world.
There are a good many objective pieces of evidence for the erosion of men' s status. In the first place, there is the widespread postwar phenomenon of the woman Prime Minister, in India, Sri Lanka and Israel.
Secondly, there is the very large increase in the number of women who work, especially married women and mothers of children. More diffusely there are the increasingly numerous convergences between male and female behaviour: the approximation to identical styles in dress and coiffure, the sharing of domestic tasks, and the admission of women to all sorts of hitherto exclusively male leisure-time activities.
Everyone carries round with him a fairly definite idea of the primitive or natural conditions of human life. It is acquired more by the study of humorous cartoons than of archaeology, but that does not matter since it is not significant as theory but only as an expression of inwardly felt expectations of people' s sense of what is fundamentally proper in the differentiation between the roles of the two sexes. In this rudimentary natural society men go out to hunt and fish and to fight off the tribe next door while women keep the fire going. Amorous initiative is firmly reserved to the man, who sets about courtship with a club.
The phrase "men' s sureness of their sex role" in the first paragraph suggests that they ______.
