What is it like when the days are so short?W: So what is it like?M: Well, it is cold, very cold in winter. Sometimes it is cold as 26 degrees below centigrade. And of course when you go out, you’ll wrap up warm. But inside in the houses it’s always very warm, much warmer than at home. Swedish people always plain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter.W: And what about the darkness?M: Well, yeah, around Christmas time there’s only one hour of daylight, so you really looks forward to the spring. It is sometimes a bit depressing. But you see the summers are amazing, from May to July in the North of Sweden the sun never sets. It’s still light in the midnight. You can walk in the mountains and read a newspaper.W: Oh, yeah, the land of the midnight sun.M: Yeah, that’s right, but it’s wonderful. You want to stay up all night, and the Sweden’s made most of it. Often they started work earlier in summer and then leave at about 2 or 3 in the afternoon, so that they can really enjoy the long summer evenings. They’d like to work hard, but play hard, too. I think Londoners work longer hours, but I’m not sure this is a good thing.【聽力材料評析】這篇長對話是圍繞瑞典的天氣展開，主要談到瑞典冬天的極寒和夏天的極晝天氣。beat一詞是個難點，beat本意有“打敗”的意思，這次的野餐打敗了上次，即這次比上次好，下文中，男士說“上次我們不得不呆在室內(nèi)，但這次天氣不錯。”說明女士會采納男士的建議，縮小主題。: You’re on the right track.
