听力原文:A: Hi, Sally. Welcome back. How was the West Coast?
B: Terrific. I had a wonderful time. It was really nice to get away from the city for a while.
A: What did you think of L. A.?
B: it was all right. I liked it better than I thought I would. It's very clean and spacious, and it's got lots of trees. The problem is transportation. The bus service is terrible and of course, they don't have a subway, so it's a little difficult to get a- round. We had to rent a car.
A: And what did you see?
B: Oh, the usual things. We took a drive around Hollywood and looked at the stars' homes and then we went to Universal Studios and Disneyland.
A: How did you like Disneyland?
B: It was great! We really enjoyed it. We took all the rides, some of them twice and had lots of fun. I felt just like a kid again.
A: Was the weather good?
B: Oh, yeah. It was nice and warm in L. A. and cool but comfortable in San Francisco.
A: Cool in San Francisco? That's surprising.
B: Yeah, it surprised us a bit, too. We didn't take any sweaters or anything. But they say it's always like that in August. Anyway, I just loved it. It's probably the most beautiful town in the U. S. —all those hills, and the bay, and those charming old Victorian houses.
A: So, you liked it better than L. A. ?
B: Oh, yes. There's much more to see and do. And because it's smaller than L. A. , it's a lot easier to get around. There are lots of buses and street- cars, and of course, the cable cars.
A: What did you like best?
B: Oh, I don't know. It's hard to say. I liked Golden Gate Park and Fishermen's Wharf. But, I guess, most of all, I liked the cable car ride that was the most fun.
