听力原文：W: Michael, where abouts in China are you from？

M: I was born in Beijing, but I live in Shanghai now. How about yon？

W: I' m from Scotland.

M: Oh？ What's it like？

W: Well, the weather is pretty cold there. Actually, most of Scotland is cold and often wet. I'm sure it's the coldest part of the British Isles.

M: Beijing is very cold in winter too, although it' s more of a dry cold, if you know what I mean. However, I like winter; it' s my favorite season. Summer is just too hot!

W: Well, I think you' re lucky to have a hot summer. Scotland' s summer is pretty miserable, wet and cold.

M: Do you think people's personalities are defined by the climate they live in？

W: Well, that's an interesting idea. I think there's definitely something in it, because when the weather is hot, I easily lose my temper, but when it's cooler, I feel much calmer.

M: If it' s raining I always feel depressed. I cry along with the weather!

W: Spring always makes me feel happy; the birds are singing and the whole atmosphere seems cheerful.

M: Hmm, I agree. I think spring is my favorite season too.

W: What about the winter blues？ What are they？

M: Well, that means you' re down in the dumps, because the weather' s so gloomy and cold. You feel all sad and blue! I often get them.

W: Oh, I don' t I love winter, but I suppose you could say I get the summer reds! Because I always see red in the hot weather and get into arguments and stuff.
