The worst time to be in the street is at 11： 30 pm. That is when the nightclubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35,000 nightclubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty. During the day, most people travel to and from work by train. People in Tokyo 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. On Tokyo trains everybody in the seat seems to be asleep, whether his journey is long or short. In Tokyo, I stood outside the station for five minutes. Three fire engines(消防車 ) raced to one of many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now. 36． Tokyo is different from London in that ________.

She said Shaun Jones,14， died “ as a result of plications (并發(fā)癥 )of medical treatment” ． Shaun， who was described by his mother as “vain” about his appearance， saw Dr Jones， his family doctor， about spots on his back and shoulders after learning his friends had been given medication to deal with similar problems. The boy， who had previously used Clearasil to treat the spots， was diagnosed with mild ae and given a prescription. But when he went to his local chemist?s with his mother， he was told the drug was not available. They said they had contacted Dr Jones (in fact they didn?t)， and Shaun could be given different pills which were the same as the drug originally prescribed. Mrs. Jones noticed there were no safety instructions included in the box， but thought nothing of it at the time. Shaun took the drug just before going to bed at 10： 30 pm. Little more than an hour later， he plained of shortness of breath and tightness in his chest. Mrs. Jones initially contacted an out of hours GP service but was told no doctor was available. When Shaun?s condition became worse，he was rushed to the Royal Glaman Hospital by ambulance in the early hours of the next morning. Despite treatment there， and at the University Hospital of Wales， Cardiff， where he was transferred， Shaun died at 10： 40 am the following day. Doctors at the hospital believe an unusual reaction to the ae drug could have caused his death. Hassel said she would write a report to the Lord Chancellor?s office underlining the importance that “doctors prescribe drugs and doctors make adjustments and patients receive drugs with the correct information attached”． 41．
