considering. it is on the edge of the world, the northernmost town in europe, as far from london as london is from tunis, a place of dark and cruel winters, where the sun sinks into the arctic ocean in november and does not rise again for ten weeks. i wanted to see the northern lights. also, i had long harboured a half-formed urge to experience what life was like in such a remote and forbidding place. sitting at home in england with a glass of whisky and a book of maps, this had seemed an excellent idea. but now as i picked my way through the grey, late-december slush（融雪） of oslo i was beginning to have my doubts. things had not started well. i had overslept at the hotel, missing breakfast, and had to leap into my clothes. i couldnt find a cab and had to drag my unreasonably overweighted bag eight blocks through slush to the central bus station. i had had huge difficulty persuading the staff at the kreditkassen bank on karl johans gate to cash sufficient travellers cheques to pay the overcharged 1,200-kroner bus fare-they simply could not be made to grasp that the william mcguire bryson on my passport and the bill bryson on my travellers cheques were both me-and now here i was arriving at the station two minutes before departure, breathless and steaming from the endless uphill exertion（费力）that is my life, and the girl at the ticket counter was telling me that she had no record of my reservation. this isnt happening, i said. im still at home in england enjoying christmaspass me a drop more port, will you, darling? actually, i said, there must be some mistake. please look again. the girl studied the passenger list. no, mr bryson, your name is not here” but i could see it, even upside-down. there it is, second from the bottom.” no, the girl decided, that says bemt bjornson. thats a norwegian name” it doesnt say bernt bjornson. it says bill bryson. look at the loop（圆圈） of the y, the twois. miss, please. but she wouldnt have it. if i miss this bus when does the next one go? next week at the same time， oh, splendid. miss, believe me, it says bill bryson. no, it doesnt. miss, look, ive come from england. im carrying some medicine that could save a childs life.”she didnt buy this. i want to see the manager. hes in stavanger.” listen, i made a reservation by telephoneif i dont get on this bus im going to write a letter to your manager that will cast a shadow over your career prospects（前景）for the rest of this century. this clearly did not alarm her. then it occurred to me. if this bemt bjornson doesnt show up, can i have his seat? sure.”why dont i think of these things in the first place and save myself the suffering? thank you, i said, and dragged my bag outside.56. what words can best describe hammerfest in winter? a. grey and dirty. b. dark and cold. c. unfriendly and expensive. d. wild and forbidden.57why did the author mention the kreditkassen bank on karl johans gate? a. to suggest that people there could be ridiculous and stubborn. b. to introduce the cultural differences in northern europe and england. c. to give an example of an interesting story during his journey. d. to indicate that the bus fare was very expensive58what could be inferred from the passage? a. the author booked his bus ticket with a norwegian name. b. the author paid the bus fare by travellers cheque. c. the author would hopefully get

smells of the sea quite like brittens peter grimes. the music makes us constantly aware of the seas immensity, its potential for threat, and the play of light on its waves. but the sea isnt just a special background, it weighs on the lives of the characters, offering them a living, but at a price. in the first act the laboured sound of the strings evokes (引起) the complete heaviness of the sailors work, as they haul(用力拉) the boats up the shingle (鹅卵石). then a storm gathers which rages(肆虐) through the scene at the inn, and stirs up an orchestral hurricane. even when its calm and favorable, the sea is inescapable.in the comfortable enclosed world of the opera house, this can only be suggested. in the production of peter grimes about to open at the aldeburgh festival, it will be really present, because the opera is taking place on the beach, the setting for much of the narrative of brittens opera, and also the poem by the suffolk poet george crabbe that inspired it.this wont be the first opera production to be set in the actual landscape in which the action takes place. theres a well-known filmed production of tosca shot in castel gandolfo in rome, and a production of donizettis anna bolena was once mounted in the moat(护城河) surrounding the tower of london. but those were manageable urban landscapes, with comfortingly solid buildings to act as wind shields and acoustic blocks.on the aldeburgh beach theres actually nothing, apart from a few boats, some whole, some wrecked. here anything more complicated than walking the dog is hard to solve. the wind blows away ones words, so conversation is hard, and anything not tied down tends to blow away. the sliding shingle turns ones steps into a drunken stagger.the idea of performing an opera in these conditions seems quite barmy an accusati
