31、 a neighbor of France, separated only by the 20-mile seaway of the English Channel. And for most of the time that the two countries have existed, the French and the British have been rivals or even enemies. One conflict between the two countries lasted over 100 years, and the British and French were
32、 at war through the 18th century.Those were not just local difficulties. When Americans rebelled against British rule, thousands of French soldiers fought alongside them, and paid by France. Without the conflict between Britain and France, there would probably have been no America.There is no fighti
33、ng now, of course. But there is still a strong sense of rivalry between the two nations. Thats why a recent survey in the UK caused a major shock.It revealed that one third of the British people would like to live in France. It also showed that 21 percent of British people would actually prefer to h
34、ave been born in France.Many reasons were given. France has a better climate and a more relaxed lifestyle, with some of the longest holidays in Europe. It is thought to have better public services in every area from health to transport. People in France work shorter hours and enjoy longer vacations.
35、 And think of the food!Others point to what they call “football diplomacy“. French players like Thierry Henry and managers like Arsene Wenger have revolutionized British attitudes towards France. Its true that many British people only respect nations that play football well. And that may indicate wh
36、y so many people want to leave England!But this may be part of a more general cultural change. Growing numbers of people in Britain drink wine instead of beer and coffee instead of tea. They pay more attention to the way they dress. In some way, they are becoming more French.Estimates of the numbers
37、 of Britons living in France range from 100,000 to half a million. But it is not one-way traffic. Around 15,000 French people per year come to live in Britain, mainly setting in London. They are attracted by higher pay in Britain, lower taxes, a more dynamic lifestyle and work in Britain, where ther
38、e are greater economic opportunities.Now the citizens of the European Union are free to move between countries within the EU which have different social systems. Some are more socially conservative. Others offer better public services and a more relaxed lifestyle. Traditionally, debates over these i
39、ssues have been part of the politics of European nation states. Now it seems that people can go to the place that suits them best.So perhaps the British are not becoming more French. Instead, both the French and the British are becoming more European.（分数：10.00）(1).The survey caused a shock because i
40、t shows that _. A. British people think France has better public services B. France has a better climate and a more relaxed lifestyle C. people in France work shorter hours and enjoy longer holidays D. more than 30 percent of the British people would like to live in France（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(2).The un

44、find anything in common between their lives and what they see on TVif they ever get home in time. There are similarities, of course, but the cops dont think much of them.The first difference is that a policemans life is centered around the law. Most of his training is in criminal law. He has to know
45、 exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove the crimes in court. He has to know nearly as much as a professional lawyer. What is more, he has to apply it on his feet, in the dark and in the rain, running down an alley after someone he wants to talk to.Little of his time i
46、s spent in chatting with women of the. street or in dramatic confrontations with desperate criminals. He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guiltyor notof stupid, petty crimes.Most television crime dram
47、a is about finding the criminal. As soon as he is arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attackswhere failure to produce results affects the standing of the policelittle effort is made in searching. The police have elaborate hi-tech devices which eventually show up most wanted men.Having made an arrest, a detective starts to wo
