BRITAIN is a popular tourist place. But tours of the country have pros and cons.
Good news
Free museums. No charge for outstanding collections of art and antiquities.
Pop music. Britain is the only country to rival (与……比敌) the US on this score.
Black cabs. London taxi drivers know where they are going even if there are never enough of them at weekends or night.
Choice of food. Visitors can find everything from Ethiopian to Swedish restaurants.
Fashion. Not only do fashion junkies love deeply and respect highly brand names such as Vivienne Westwood, Alexander McQueen; street styles are justly loved, too.
Bad news
Poor service. "It's part of the image of the place. People can dine out on the rudeness they have experienced, "says Professor Tony Seaton, of London University's International Tourism Research Center.
Poor public transport. Trains and buses are promised to defeat the keenest tourists, although the overcrowded London tube is inexplicably (无法解释的) popular.
Lack of languages. Speaking slowly and clearly may not get many foreign visitors very far, even in the tourist traps(圈套).
Rain. Still in the number one complaint(抱怨).
An air-conditioning. So that even splendidly hot summers become as unbearable as the downpours.
Overpriced hotels. The only European country with a higher rate of tax on hotel rooms is Denmark.
Licensing hours. Alcohol(酒)is in short supply after 1! p.m. even in "24-hour cities".
What do tourists complain(抱怨) most?
A.Poor service.
B.Poor public transport.

听力原文: Most countries in the world now welcome tourists because of the money they bring in. Many countries make great efforts to encourage tourism, and many also depend on what the yearn from it to keep their economies going.
People who like adventure will even try to visit countries where travel is difficult and costs are high. Companies regularly arrange trips through the Sahara desert, or to Himalayas for whoever enjoys such trips, but the numbers of visitors are small. Most tourists try to choose whichever places have fairly comfortable, cheap hotels, quite good food, reasonable safety, sunny weather and plenty of amusements or unusual things to see. Their choice of a place for a holiday also depends very much on when they can get away; it is not very pleasant to go to a place when it is having its worst weather.
One of the big problems of a nation wishing to attract a lot of tourists is the cost of building hotels for them. Building big hotels swallows up a lot of money, and many of the countries that 'need the tourists are poor. What they spend on building has to be borrowed produces only chains of ugly hotels wherever there are beauty spots supposed to attract tourists.
Another problem is that more and more big international companies are building hotels all over the world, so that the profits from a hotel often do not stay in the country in which it has been built.
And there is also the question of training staff, teaching them foreign languages, how to cook the kind of food that the foreign tourists expect, and so on. In many countries, special colleges and courses have been set up for this.
Crime can also be a problem. Seeing tourists who seem to be much richer than themselves, the local inhabitants are often tempted to steal from them. Sometimes tourists resist and get killed, and then other tourists refuse to come to the country.
What would happen to some countries if tourism stopped?
A.Their economies would be ruined.
B.It would keep their economies going.
C.There would be no more environmental pollution there.
D.People have no chance to travel there.
W: Me, too, Edward! Why don' t we go somewhere far away and forget about lectures and essays and all that hard work.
M: Sounds good to me. Now, how long will we have before we have to be back here on campus for the
next semester?
W: We've got about six weeks, I think,
M: How about if we go to the coast? It would be great to do some swimming and surfing.
W: The coast would be good, but let's look at our other options. There are the mountains. They're nice and cool at this time of year. And we can do some bush walking. There's also the desert, which I really enjoyed last year.
M: What about going to Sydney? I've never been there and they say it's a great city to visit. Lots of things to do there, I've heard.
W: I agree Sydney would be good but there are too many tourists there at this time of year. And I'd rather get away from buildings and cars. There are enough of those around here. I vote for mountains.
M: All right, then, let's do that. Now we have to decide where we're going to stay and how we're going to get there.
