Tokyo is one of those places where you can love and hate at the same time.

In Tokyo there are always too many people in the places where I want to be. Of course there are too many cars. The Japanese drive very fast when they can. But in Tokyo they often spend a long time in traffic jams. Tokyo is not different when one wants to walk.

At certain times of the day there are a lot of people on foot in London's Oxford Street. But the streets near Ginza in Tokyo always have a lot of people on foot, and sometimes it is really difficult to walk. People are very polite; there are just too many of them.

The worst time to be in the street is at 11:30 at night. That is when the night-clubs are closing and everybody wants to go home. There are 35,000 night-clubs in Tokyo, and you do not often see one that is empty.

Most people travel to and from work by train. Tokyo people buy six million train tickets every day. At most stations, trains arrive every two or three minutes, but at certain hours there don't 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. In Tokyo trains everybody in a 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 raced fast on the way to one of the many fires that Tokyo has every day. Tokyo has so many surprises that none of them can really surprise me now. Instead, I am surprised at myself: I must go there next year on business. I know I hate the over-crowded city. But I feel like a man who is returning to his long-lost love.

Tokyo is different from London in that ______.

A．it has a smaller population

B．it is an international city

C．it is more difficult to go somewhere on foot in Tokyo

D．its people are more friendly and more polite

听力原文：M: Are traveling facilities good in the rest of Britain?

W: Well, we've got the railways that connect all our big towns. There're over 13,000 miles of track in Britain. Rail transport provides a very important service to the public, to industry and commerce.

M: What about road transport? Are your roads good?

W: Yes, they are on the whole. We've got about a quarter of a million miles of roads, and multi-motorways are appearing everywhere. We should have over one thousand miles of motorways soon.

M: Is there a good internal air service in Britain?

W: Well, yes. But it is not as important as our rail and road transport systems.

M: But British air services, the BEA and the BOAC, are world famous, aren't they?

W: Oh yes, our international air services are very good. London Airport is one of the busiest airports in the world.

M: What about travel by sea?

W: As an island people and a trading nation, Britain's seafaring traditions have always been great. We used to have the biggest merchant navy in the world, carrying a third of the world's passengers, you know.

M: But I suppose today sea travel has diminished in importance, hasn't it?

W: It has. But some people still prefer traveling by sea to any other forms of transport.

Storytelling is one of the few human features that are truly universal across culture and through all of known history. Anthropologists find evidence of folktales everywhere in ancient cultures,written in Sanskrit，Latin，Greek，Chinese，Egyptian and Sumerian. People in societies of all types weave stories，from oral storytellers in hunter-gatherer tribes to the millions of writers bringing out books，television shows and movies. And when a characteristic behavior. shows up in so many different societies. researchers pay attention：its roots may tell us something about our evolutionary past.

To study storytelling，scientists must first define what constitutes a story，and that can prove tricky. Because there are so many diverse forms，scholars often define story structure. known as narrative，by explaining what it is not. Exposition contrasts with narrative by being a simple，straightforward explanation，such as a list of facts or an encyclopedia entry. Another standard approach defines narrative as a series of causally linked events that unfold over time. A third definition draws on the typical narrative's subject matter：the interactions of intentional agents-characters with minds-who possess various motivations,

However narrative is defined，people know it when they feel it. Whether fiction or nonfiction. a narrative engages its audience through psychological realism-recognizable emotions and believable interactions among characters.

“Everyone has a natural detector for psychological realism，”says Raymond A. Mar，assistant professor of psychology at York University in Toronto. “We can tell when something rings false. ”But the best stories-those retold through generations and translated into other languages-do more than simply present a believable picture. These tales attract their audience. whose emotions can be closely tied to those of the story's characters. Such immersion(沉浸)is a state psychologists call“narrative transport”. Researchers have only begun figuring out the relations among the variables that can initiate narrative transport.

The passage indicates that storytelling______.

A．is becoming less and less popular in modem societies

B．attracts researchers' attention all through human history

C．is the best way to show the evolutionary past of human beings

D．is a common cultural phenomenon all through the known history
