听力题 Susan: Are you looking forward to your trip to Canada, Julie? I hear you have planned it for a long time. Julie: I can''t wait to see Canada, Susan, but I''m somehow scared of the journey. My husband insists on flying but I want to sail. Planes make me nervous. Susan: There''s nothing to be frightened. How many planes fly across the Atlantic every day? Julie: I''ve no idea. Hundreds, I suppose. But any accident in a flight will lead to tragedy. Susan: And how often do you hear of a crash ? Once or twice a year? Julie: Yes, but planes fly so high and fast that once was enough. Susan: Look, there are more road casualties per day than air deaths per year. Air transport is really safe compared with road transport. Julie: I''d still prefer to go by sea. Ships may not travel fast and at least you can relax. I''d love a trip on a luxury liner like the Queen Elizabeth II. Susan: It''s fine if you''re a good sailor. But have you ever traveled far in a rough sea? Julie: No. I''ve only been in a boat once. I sailed down the River Thames on a sightseeing tour. But in many cases I''d rather be sea-sick than dead.
