高中英语语法填空:对话题型能力练习 Test 26

M: When I say I live in Sweden, people always want to know about the seasons.

W: The seasons?

M: Yeah, you know how cold it is in winter? 　61　 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 as cold as 26 degrees 　62　 centigrade. And of course when you go out, you 　63　 (wrap) up warm. But inside the houses 　64　 is always very warm, much warmer than at home. Swedish people always complain that when they visit England, the houses are cold even in the good winter.

W: And what about the 　65　 ?

M: Well, yeah, around Christmas time there's only one hour of daylight, 　66　 you really look forward to the spring. It is sometimes a bit 　67　 (depress). But you see the summers are amazing; from May to July in the North of Sweden the sun never 　68　 (set). It's still light in the midnight. You can walk in the mountains and read a newspaper.

W: Oh, yeah, 　69　 land of the midnight sun.

M: Yeah, that's right, but it's wonderful. You won't stay up all night. And the Swedes make most of it. Often they started work 　70　 (early) 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.
