2、l know,have been having a hard time of it lately,and have turned to new ways ofearning income from their land.This involves not only planting new kinds of crops,but some _55_ways of making money,the most unusual of which has got to be sheep racing.Yes,you heard me _56_!A farmer now holds sheep races
3、 on a regular basis,and during the past year over 100,000 people have_57_ to watch the race.“I was passing the farm on my way to the sea for a holiday,”onepunter(赛马经纪人)told me,“and I thought I”d have a look.I didn”t believe it was serious,to tellyou the truth.”According to a regular visitor,betting
4、on sheep is more interesting than bettingon horses.“At proper horse races everyone has already studied the form of the horse _58_,andthere are clear favourites._59_ nobody has heard anything about these _60_!Most people findit difficult to tell one from another in any case.”I stayed to watch the rac
5、es,and I must admitthat I found it quite _61_.In a usual sheep race,half a dozen sheep race down hill over a courseof about half a mile.Food is waiting for them at the other end of the _62_ just to give them someencouragement,I ought to add!The sheep run surprisingly fast,_63_ they have probably not

8、h love to think of themselves as polite,and everyone knows how fond they are of their“pleases”and“thank you”,Even the simplest business such as buying a train ticket requires _65_seven or eight of these.Another _66_ of our good manners is the queue.New-comers to Britain couldbe forgiven for thinking
9、 that queuing rather than football was the _67_ national sport.Finally,of course,motorists generally stop at crossings.But does all this mean that the British shouldconsider themselves more polite than their European neighbours?I think not.Take forms ofaddress(称呼)for example.The average English pers
10、on _68_ he happens to workin a hotel or department store would rather die than call a stranger“Sir”or“Madam”.Yetin some European countries this is the most basic of common address.Our _69_“you”for everyonemay appear more democratic,but it means that we are forced to seek out complicated ways to expr
